Happy Holidays

December is a very busy month and so the next dinner will not be until January 2007. If anybody has any suggestions as to where we should go for the January dinner please submit your requests to me by email by the new year. If we don't go to your spot this time, hopefully we'll make it next time. We are looking for somewhere a little cheaper for the next dinner, since we will probably all be broke following the holiday season (Entrees less than $12/person). Also, if anyone has any good holiday recipes, I'd love to post them! We all need good GF treats too!

Thanks to everybody who joined for dinners in 2006!

The King & I Thai Restaurant

On November 17 the dinner club went adventuring into Thai cuisine at The King & I. There were a total of 9 people, 6 celiacs and 3 celiac supporters, and the food was enjoyed by all. The King & I gave us a chance to enjoy a meal with shared plates that everyone could enjoy (a rare treat for a Celiac). Eric, the manager, chose a few selections from the menu for us to share, although there are many more options that can be made celiac friendly. For starters we enjoyed the beef & chicken satay dishes with a delicious peanut sauce for dipping (I definitely recommend these) and the salad rolls. We then had coconut rice, Chu Chu Kai (a chicken dish), Pork Tenderloin with Sweet & Sour Chili Sauce, Beef with Basil & Bean sprouts in a black pepper sauce (a little spicy), Pad Kra Pao Kung (Prawns & Basil) and a mixed vegetable dish served in peanut sauce. We were all stuffed to the brim by the end of the evening, and there was even enough left over for Jayson to have lunch & dinner the next day (everybody else was too full to consider eating anymore at anytime).

The King & I is located at 8208 107 Street (just off of Whyte Ave behind Crankpots).

Thai Food

The next dinner will be some totally yummilicious thai food at The King & I on Whyte Ave and 107th Street Friday November 17 at 7:00 p.m.

Next Dinnerclub

Sorry I haven't been able to organize a dinner club in the last little while, but I have been having restaurant issues and have been extremely busy with school (midterms just finished yesterday). I am hoping to organize the next dinner for sometime in the next couple of weeks if I can ever get the restaurant owner/managers to call me back (I think it is quite rude when they do not return calls -- I have already left 2 messages). I will email you all as soon as I know what is happening.
