I’ll be returning to Calgary for a few days at the beginning of May for a lunch that will be honouring my grandfather. While I am in town, I was wondering if a get together for dinner could be arranged. I don’t know what exact dates I’ll be in Calgary yet, but I’ll arrive on either the 1st or 2nd of the month (Thursday or Friday). From what I can tell at this point, Friday night would probably be the best from my perspective. So what do you say? I’ll most likely be staying at the Palliser. FYI, when I go back to Calgary there are 2 things that I love - Chinese food (I have a serious ginger beef addiction) and Caesar’s, of course I’m open to any other suggestions. ---

Adam, I would love to join you in a Ginger Beef and Caesar pig-out, but alas immigration doesn’t allow. Next time you’re on the East coast I’ll make you some. Did you know that it was invented in Calgary? I ordered a ceasar when I was out to dinner with some of the MADs, and the waitress looked at me like I was crazy. Then the dishwasher died. I have to stop going out to dinner here. ---

By Ceasar’s, I meant the steakhouse and not the drink. I don’t do well with tomato based drinks. ---

Wait a tick, **Ginger** are you saying that you have a recipe for ginger beef? The sweet and spicy and crispy food of the gods? What would it take to get you to share it with me? ---

Since my trip is just around the corner, I thought that I would revive this and see if it gets any interest this time around. ---

Adam… I’d like to meet you, but alas… I am in Edmonton and not Calgary. ---

**Feynn** , I’ll be traveling over 1000 miles and you can’t go 180 miles? 😃 **Ginger** , I’d be willing to start a thread that proclaims my love for you but I have a feeling that I’d be pissing somebody off. ---

Better pissed off than pissed on, I say. Gimme an address, and I’ll email you the recipe. ---

Rather, just email me at gingerofthenorth at [hotmail.com](http://hotmail.com) (same as in my profile) and I’ll get it to you. If I have to wait for the page to load after you post, it’ll be a year before you get it.
