SO - for those of us that had to stay home..
How was the China Nobo dinner?

Dinner was very nice. We started with Soybean soup, followed by fried rice and fried noodles and ham with marinated cabbage. Next up was duck, Canton style, followed by a Chinese sausage chop suey. Dinner closed with some candied fruits, vegetables, and ginger. All for just north of $20/person.

In attendence were:

- Bob & Maida Liquori
- Josie & Alan
- Bas
- Michael Gaynor with Diana Gevers, her daughter Daphne, and Diana's parents (who all live on Bonaire)
- Mimi
- Linda & Myself

I have pictures - maybe I can convince Linda to format them and post them for me :-)

Jake

Hi all,

Agree with Jake,... dinner was nice, lots of different stuff, all very tasty. Also it was a nice get together allthough I don't think everyone showed up. Good to meet some new people and had quite a few good laughs too.
Looking forward to saturday's turducken party,.. that should be good :-)
Jake,...I made a head start on the soup (because it will take a whole day and I also want to dive saturday) I pealed 16 coconuts today. Tomorrow I'll get the flesh out and grate it. Anytime tomorrow that we can try out that machine to grate it down?? I might also need to have a go at your palm trees on the beach for some extra nuts if some of mine turn out to be bad. All the ones I have left now from my own trees are not dry enough yet.
Coconut fish or chicken soup?...any preferences???

Bas

Would love to see the pictures!
And dinner sounds GREAT! Always is at China Nobo.

Bas, I vote for coconut fish!!!

Yes, the dinner was fun. We had LOTS of food --- just kept asking for more of whatever we wanted and it kept coming.

Next BT social event is Tuesday, the 12th, 7 pm at Gibi's Terrace on Kaya Emerenciana (spelling??)

See youu there. Can't wait for Turducken also!
