Am I gonna have to turn the garden hose on you two? 😉

Don’t mind Dave this morning. Next thing you know, he’ll be on about ‘dental cleanings’.

Enough of the lip from you, missy!
You and Dave gonna be there? It’s only a 2 hour and 60 minute drive, after all. Not like you’d be on the road for three hours.

Send directions via my email address and will talk to other half since he is the driver.
Your ribs sound amazing!

Thanks, **maggy**. They were pretty popular last year, and I think my cooking technique and equipment are vastly improved since then. (And my wife’s chocolate chip cookies are the stuff of legend)
I tried to email you via your profile, but it’s blocked. I think you can email me through my profile, though. Give it a try, and put RibFest in the subject line.
Whereabouts in Ontario is your city? Can you get to the NYState Thruway easily? I’m not far off the Thruway, once you get close to New Jersey.

I just mentioned this to **Tark** , and he says it’s possible we might be able to drive up for that. Maybe I can force Gingy (oh yeah, and Dave) to put us up for a night so we don’t have to drive eight hours straight through…
Oh, and we’d be lugging three kids along. Zounds.

No skanks allowed!
Oh, alright. We’ll make an exception for you.
