I’m so hungry right now that any one of those places sound good. And I want dessert. Who’s up for pie? ---

Figlio offers a Sunday brunch, about $15 for all you can eat, that has some great stuff. There’s a buffet line with some basic breakfast stuff, a fruit/salad bar, a desert bar, pizza, and–the peice de resistance–an “order at the kitchen” window with eight different pastas w/ various sauces. Those pasta choices are delicious, and are prepared freshly before your eyes. I think everyone could get a meal they really enjoy. If we do Figlio, I’d suggest arriving at noon. That will give us plenty of time to enjoy the brunch, and then to adjourn to the park directly across the street for dessert and farting around. This option would commit everyone to spending 15 (plus drinks, tax, & tip) on lunch, which may or may not be problematic. But for selection and food quality, it’s hard to beat. ---

Thats a pretty sweet deal, and reminds me of the one Bo Ling’s happens to have on Sundays, you guys are going to love this. All you can eat vegetarian chinese brunch. Apparently it’s the most amazing thing ever. The Dim Sum (Sp?) is supposed to be awesome as is everything else. Ok, I had to suggest it. Stop looking at me like that. -PSM ---

I don’t have a problem with supping at Figlio. Sounds good to me. > [@](#): > > and then to adjourn to the park directly across the street for dessert and farting around Exactly how gassy is this food at Figlio’s, **Gary T**? 😉 And I agree with what you’ve heard/experienced, **psychomonkey** , Bo Ling’s Dim Sum is the best I’ve ever had outside a home kitchen of a Chinese family who emigrated from mainland China. Yum. ---

I’d rather have Figlio’s than Bo Ling’s personally. Last time I went to Bo Ling’s, I managed to pur soy sauce all over myself. I don’t even like soy sauce. So let’s make a final plan–Figlio’s on the Plaza, at noon, on July 27th, then to Mill Creek Park for desserts and hanging around. ---

Count me in! And may I take the opportunity to invite all of y’all to the Highland Games on June 14, WY County Fairgrounds? I’m “working” in the whiskey tent (hiccup). ---

Highland Games? Like, men in kilts throwing logs and stuff? ---

Men in kilts! Throwing trees! I wish _I_ was a lumberjack… I sleep all night and I work all day! You can see Kansas City’s own weird people dancing right [here.](http://www.kcscottishgames.org/dancing.html) Me? I’m just jealous that I can’t fit into a skirt. 😉 It sounds like fun, **Katriona** , but I’ve got son duties this weekend. In the future, though, I think it’d be a blast to have a Dopefest at the Highland Games, or even the Renaissance Festival. We’d scare the pants (er… skirts) off of everyone! ---

I agree, a Renfest Dopefest in Bonner Springs would be a blast. There are always contests with prizes and such. Back to food. I’m going to try freezing an unbaked cherry pie I will be making tomorrow. MY boss let me pick a _binch_ of cherries from his tree and they taste like sunshine in you mouth. I made a pie for him at work from some of the cherries he pitted for himself, and if I do say so myself it was good. So I am thinking of baking and bringing it in July, This might be a time to ask. If some of us bring dessert, is there any Dope who plans on attending that is allergic to dairy products, or nuts, or whatever? ---

Nope, no allergies here. But I don’t like whipped cream, so bring it to put on ourselves, not already on the pies or whatever, please. ---

Not allergic, just a picky eater. 🙂 I also don’t eat whipped cream or even cream pies, but if a fruit pie is offered I’m sure I will love it. ---

I’m allergic to men prancing about in thongs. Make sure you leave any of those at home. Then I should be fine. ---

Cover yourself up with pie? Given enough fruit filling, I think the pies would help, um… distract us from the horror that is a man in a thong. But bring some shots of epinephrine just in case a flash of Speedos makes its way to my eyes–I could go into anaphylactic shock. ---

Ooh, me! I get second dibs on injecting people! Seriously, I actually used to give my neighbor’s diabetic cat his insulin shots while my neighbors were on vacation. How much different can it be to inject a person?
