Victorian mini2 Get together...

[Todd!]

Hey all,

If you are in Victoria and keen to catch up for dinner and a bit of a chat, I was thinking maybe we could organise a dinner on a Thursday or Friday night at Elie's families Labanese restaurant in Bridge Road, Richmond - Kan Zaman - for a bit of Christmas GTG.

Lebanese food is quite flavoursome and if you have not tried it, is well worth it.

Maybe Elie can organise a bit of a deal for us on a banquet, so everyone gets to try different stuff... Maybe come back to us with a date that best suits too?

Let me know if you are interested. It would be great to catch up and get some of the old hats on mini2 back out and about!

Im in.

Great idea Todd. My preference is during the week, so on your suggestions I vote Thursday.

ok boys, this is the low-down. I'm going away this friday the 18th, to my beach house, but i'll be there the next week. I'd recommend going on either friday or saturday, as the belly dancer performs on those nights, but we all want chris there, so if you can't make it mate, thursday night's fine.

Todd, we have two banquets at our restaurant. Normal and seafood. The normal banquet consists of two dips, bread, tabbouli, fetta cheese/spinach in filo pastry triangles, falafels, minced lamb in filo pastry (these are all entrees). For mains you get a chicken dish with coriander/lemon/garlic/mushrooms/onions/mustard, and a lamb eye fillet dish in pomegranite sauce w/mushrooms, capsicum and onion etc etc...and for dessert you get baklava, turkish delight, and a light, sweetish jelly-like custard in grenadine syrup, and lebanese coffee....

The seafood banquet is exactly the same, except you get prawns and scallops on top of the usual entrees, and a whole baby snapper on top of the usual mains.

Standard banquet costs $36, and seafood banquet costs $46.

Hows that sound?

[Todd!]

Sounds good mate... I am not a huge seafood fan so I'd be up for the normal banquet.

The belly dancers are not that bigger deal to me, if I want to see copious amounts of women showing off their flesh, I will head out on a saturday night

Good to see some numbers are getting in...Be sure to bring partners if they are interested. If they can be bothered sitting through mini talk for 3 or so hours...

If it is ok... will go normal... allergic to seaford!!

[Todd!]

Elie, you have a chat to the family and see what Thursday best suits them for us to come in (ie. when they dont have a lot of bookings)

At this stage, I would imagine there will be 10 attending.

Todd

[Baker]

As always, I'm up for it

ok, my dad said any thursday from the 24th onwards is good. Do you guys want a quiet night, or busy-ish?

Elie

[Todd!]

Whatever best suits you... If we make it the 24th that is OK with me.

Anyone else?
