Lunch in Chicago; You're Invited

“Is Friday better than Thursday this week? I can do either.”

“What time? Thursday is good for me, but Friday would probably be better.... just what time on Friday?”

“. . . at the Corner Bakery on (Randolph?)I think that's the street.”

“if I am free then, I will be there.

But as usual, I won't know my schedule until the night before.

I'll touch base here when I know it.”

“I'll be there out front at noon. Anyone who can make it, join me. If no one is there, I can still have lunch and then back to work. "38 days and counting"”

“38 days to florida?

Today is 38 days on my countdown, too.

38 days until Jon is home. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



(I'm a little bit excited)”

“Sorry guys. Just got my schedule. I was supposed to be in a trial all day (with a lunch break). Just got a call a few minutes ago that they will not be needing my services tomorrow after all.


So......since it's going to be hot and sticky tomorrow, I'm going to the water park with my boys. Sorry, but even lunch with fellow backpackers isn't better than water on a hot day.”

“Ed McMahon: "How hot is it?"

Johhny: "It's so hot the senior citizens are only wearing one sweater."

If I am the only one going, then I am going to go to the CB nearer me (Jackson and Michigan) I'll be there at one PM if anyone wants to stop by.”

“Oh crap, I totally forgot about this. :( Sorry AJ.”

“So how was lunch? The water park was swamped, but refreshing.”

“I'm back in town.

I will be downtown early on Thursday the 30th. An 11:30am Lunch would work great for me.”

“anyone up for lunch this Thursday (July 7)?”

“I am game!”

“I have a seminar in a southwest suburb that day, so guess I'm out. DRAT. We sure have trouble bringing this together. Enjoy lunch, even if I'm NOT there! :-)”

“If I'm downtown that day and not at a dep or hearing, I will be there. I'll touch base on Wednesday night. mmmmm-kay?”

“I'd love to, but I'm headed to Taverse City, MI, to go on a 5 day sailing trip with my dad.

But I'll be available next Thursday.”

“canvas side UP!!!”

“hahaha, I'll keep that in mind, AJ. The boat is a 36 footer, so I think we'll be able to keep it upright. ;)”

“Let me know when you all end up in the west suburbs. Us country folk like eating lunch too!!”

“Where in the western 'burbs are you?


I will be in southwest 'burbs this Thursday. I break about noon, so will be able to do lunch shortly thereafter.”

“Actually for now until at least November I'm up in Park Ridge. After that the construction market tells me where to go. Who knows, I may end up back in downtown Chicago.”

“Where is lunch usually at? I am usually out in the western and northwestern subs. A lot of Lombard and Schaumburg area.”

“Thus far we have met in the Loop at one of the many Corner Bakeries. Do you ever come downtown?”

“No, unfortunately I hardly ever get that far down. The nearest I get is Niles area. I do also get down to Orland Park every now and again so South side lunches are always a possibility for me.”

“Not enough people could make it today and I got a last minute meeting tossed at me”

“Aw Crap! I forgot.

Sorry”

“That's OK Want to meet tomorrow? (Friday the 8th)

Corner Bakery on at NW corner of Jackson and Michigan?”

“Sorry, cannot meet tomorrow.”

“you people suck :( why cant we have lunch in hammond???”

“i was born in jackson michigan”

“next week?”

“I will be in West Virginia.”

“is out for me. Will be preparing for house sale ion 22 and 23”

“Allright all you silly freaks in Chicago, Pitts and I are doing lunch at our hangout (Corner Bakery) on Monday October 9.

Can we meet around 11:30-11:45?”

“CRAP! I gave myself away!”

“Hey! Poopy Pants is Nigals name!

“I certainly thought so...”

“Maybe, but I am Mr.”

“I'm so sorry, but you can't do that - read the law to him bit...

“Troll Torll!”

“I'm making a HUGE pot of tomato sauce w/a pork roast, roast beef and meatloaf in it. It will all take hours to cook, so it will unfortunately not be lunch, but dinner. The sauce will cook about 2-1/2 hours and the meat will be fork tender, no knife needed. The pork and meatloaf come out first since they cook quicker.

I'll either make home made fettucine or ravioli depending on how burnt out I am after all the cooking and then putting the sauce away in containers in the freezer.”

“on no, not torlling!

Off with his/her/its head!”

“what??”

“I think LH is moving the lunch from Chicago to Washington, or wherever it is she lives...

sounds yummy!”

“Corner Bakery on Monday October 9 around 11:30-11:45 works for me.

Corner Bakery - 56 W. Randolph, Chicago, IL”

“Yep”

“I did finally make those homemade ravioli and they came out great and weren't too hard to make. It's not lunch time yet, but when I got up I just had to have a few. The sauce came out excellent too.

Sauce making is a big project, and I make a huge pot which I haven't in a very long time, so the sauce is like gold to me.”

“If I am not on a job, I'll be there as well.”

“um, I ate them all! I had a few ravioli for breakfast, a few for lunch and a few for dinner:)

If I lived in NY, I could just walk up the street from my mom's house to buy them there since they make them fresh with fresh pasta.

In WA, they put odd things in what they all fresh ravioli like breadcrumbs and odd cheeses. People who never lived in NY and/or never went into a real pasta store will never know what a real ravioli is like. They think it's Chef Boy R Dee!”

“Wish I could join you all but I will be working. OOPs, did I just give myself away?”
