Let's Dine with Maxamini •*11/12/05

Haggis Souflee sounds very very wrong!!!! I had friends that toyed with the idea of putting haggis in their suitcase and bringing it back home. I'm glad they didn't. I did get to enjoy Christmas Pudding last year though-with fire! It was...good.

And this was a job that was sold to me as T-F 3PM 'til 7 and Saturday mornings. Sorry all. But I will get some MAMA Ts to R&L just in case you feel winter would not be the same without one, or more. That way MAW could really win on this combo!

Really sorry to hear that.

Chicken is a poor land-lubbing substitute...
Greetings all!

No dead ducks at this gourmet feast!!

Okay peeps. Back on topic for a moment.

Great news!! Max & Me Catering, my employer, is going to donate some of (most of) the cheese and fish. They may even throw in some of their FAMOUS smoked salmon as an appetizer.

Check it out. http://www.maxandmecatering.com/salmon.html

That's a signifigant savings for us and more profit to benefit Make a Wish. Maxamini is surely proud of us.

We're at 15 now with room for 20. I'd say we've got some recruiting to do. How about it folks? Spread the word so that we can send a nice little fat check to Make a Wish.

Fantastic!!! Laurie will be in 7th heaven if there's smoked salmon around.

Hi Everyone: Can't wait to see you all again. Kate and I are coming! Luke and Bonnie and Daniel want to come as well. Four of Ed's most favorite people in the world will be there. Unfortunately Luke doesn't have a mini - nor does Dan; but the Electric Blue will be there! Hugs, Mart

[MaxaMini's Girl]

FOUR of Dad's most favorite people in the world? Which one of us (you, me, Dan, Luke, Bonnie) are you leaving out?
Is there room for Greg? He's thinking that he'd like to come.
Mom, I'll still stay over with you if you'd like to spend the night.

Let me get this straight.

Mart - chicken
Kate - bouillabaisse
Dan
Luke
Bonnie
Greg

That's fantastic!!! I was really hoping more of the family would come. I'm so pleased!!

I need to know what the others want as entrees please.

Room for just one more.....

Looks like I'll need to play the role of the Western NY organizer on 11/12 to keep our dinner tradition going, but maybe we can get a collection going for Minis Making A Wish at that event also.

I gave away ducks again on Wednesday night, at a benefit Towne Mini had for their Mini Sales manager, Dan Ives, who was injured in a motorcycle accident. I gave him a duck, which might actually be a good tool for hand therapy. Quite a few ducks found good homes that night.

Towne Mini has a Minis On Top 2005 sticker on the door of the showroom now. I think Dan brought it back from there. It looks great!

This salmon is superb - home made on site. Maybe we can raffle off a couple of Max's smoked salmon recipe books too.

[NoNo]

Mart, I'd be more than happy to chauffeur any of the clan up to dinner if they're looking to arrive by MINI.

[MaxaMini's Girl]

Alright, I have taken everyone's orders:
Greg - Chicken
Bonnie - Chicken
Dan - Chicken
Luke - Bouillabaisse
We're all looking forward to it! :-)

Would it help if we all shipped pacakges to Maison MAMA..? Are they on your route..? You could scan a package every 5 or 10 min and be there for quite a while..!
