Saturday Brunch Club

Today was the first meeting of the Saturday Brunch Club, founded by Karen.

Everyone is welcome. These are the rules (So far. Still under construction.):
  1. The first member to the restaurant will have their coffee/tea paid for by the last member to arrive.
  2. There is a ten minute grace period for late arrivals. After ten minutes, we sit without you. 
  3. Unless agreed upon at the time of ordering, members are not required to share their food.
  4. Members need to bring cash for easy bill settling.

I think that's pretty much it. We meet every two weeks, and next up is Lady Marmalade.

Come and eat!

    If I was there I would definitely join this group. I would like to point out that paying in cash doesn't really make bill settling easier it's just more tangible. Maybe my aversion to the cash rule would mean I couldn't join the group.

    Laura - cash rule is because some places (today's and next week's, at least) are cash-only. So if everyone brings cash, we can at least get change instead of walking out with IOUs... or having to all make last-minute bank runs!

    I'm responding to your tweet...super adorable! I would want one too if I didn't know from experience how stinky owl poo is. And you have to feed them dead mice (which might have botflies!) :) But if I lived in Harry Potter's world and could magic away the bad smells, I'd totally go for a sawwhet owl - they are the cutest!

    Lady Marmalade is amazing.
    Get there early, it's always super busy and they won't seat you until your entire group is there.

The ROM, The Earth & Procreation

Disclaimer: This post is intended to generate discussion and a sharing of many opinions. It is NOT intended to judge or condemn anyone's life choices. I had an unexpected moment at the ROM last month. C and I were listening to a presentation for kids on wildlife conservation (or rather, I was listening, and C was eagerly anticipating what live animal would come out next), when a statement caught my attention and still hasn't let go. For most of history, the earth could provide enough resources for the earth's human population. But today, our population is growing rapidly, increasing by 250 000 people every day... Forty years from now, it will require 2 Earths to provide sustainably for our survival as a human species. But we only have 1 Earth. 250 000 people. Every day. That is roughly twice the size of my hometown. In one day. So I did a little math. (First, I rounded down to 200 000, just in case the figures were inflated or failed to account for some sort o...

Women And Our Ways: Intro

Last summer, I started writing a blog entry that I never finished. There are several like that, actually. This particular one starts out: If you are male, you probably don't want to read this entry. I mean it. If you were grossed out by my entry on placenta lasagna , didn't understand the problematic tea commercial , or were surprised by my thoughts on the curse of Aunt Irma , this one is bigger, badder, and more bold. I'm going for broke. I've been meaning to write this girls-only series ever since. But then I realized that I want to write a series that may frighten or surprise men, but is not meant to exclude them. Then I thought that maybe I don't want to do that, as it will stir up controversy and I will be misunderstood and I will unintentionally offend both men and women and I will write about things that don't often get talked about. But I think I'm willing to risk it. Titles in the series Women and Our Ways may include: The Mo...

Sunday Starters

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with a different 'theme' for blogging every day. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I hate it. But what I do know is that Sundays are no longer Fundays. (well, in reality, I'm sure they still will be). Instead, I want to do this: I start a sentence, and we all fill it in. However we want. There is only one rule: You have to play the game too. Example: Happiness is... ...a warm puppy ...time with my family ...a myth ...knowing that in the end, he/she's got my back. ...impossible to pin down. This week's starter: When I was six, I thought...
