#DoubleOvenLove
A few years back my wife and I undertook a fairly massive remodel on our home and with the kitchen a double oven was part of it. Even just cooking for the three of us, there are days when it's SO great to have. (I also do the holiday cooking for the extended family and it's very much a #WIN then too)
I can cook something at 350F and another at 425F and have everything ready at the same time.
The extra cost felt like a splurge but looking back I'd absolutely do it again.

I'm planning on it unless something comes up, but I'll let you know if I can't make it.

Right after I posted my last comment here, one of my co-workers has a possible conflict in her schedule. I may have to fill in for her at a punch list. If I do, I won't be able to make the forum meeting. I will let everyone know as soon as I find out if I can't eat lunch with the forum.

Not likely I'll make it. I had to miss a couple of work days the last couple of weeks and I'm swamped.

I plan to attend if it goes forward.

I wanted to let you all know that the Forum Meetings still go on, even if I can't make it. We only cancel them when there is a consensus, or no one agrees to attend. Even at that, I have gone to Benito's to eat just to make sure someone else showed up. If I can't attend, please go ahead and get together to visit about anything happening in the city. I probably won't know if I have to cancel until tomorrow morning.

All of you may still meet at Benito's, if I can't make it. Actually, I would encourage it. I'm at the office now, but I still haven't found out if I will have to fill in at the punch list. As soon as I know something, I will post it here.

Good news! I do not have to fill in for my co-worker at the Punch this afternoon. I will be at the Forum Meeting. I look forward to seeing everyone.

Well, I thought I could be there since I am working at Mercantile Plaza now but it looks like the company CEO will be here Friday so mark me as a maybe.

Maybe someday my schedule will change and I'll be able to attend again. Unfortunately, I work too far away and my lunch break varies by day.

Dylan, I wouldn't worry about it. I know that work schedules can interfere with lunches and things that happen on a regular basis. I'm fortunate that I can host these at Benito's. However, with my work, if it doesn't happen close to standard lunch hours, then I can't attend other events.

I'm planning on it. So far my schedule is clear.

April 28 is a week and a day away. Right now, my schedule is favorable for attending.

Ah never mind. I forgot I have a seminar and board meeting in Austin on the 28th.

I have a meeting on the morning of April 28. There is a chance, I might not be able to make it, but I won't know until next week. If I'm not there, it doesn't mean that the meeting is cancelled.

Looking like a busy day at work for me, but I'll try and swing by for a bit at least.
#338
Posted 27 April 2023 - 12:38 PM
I still have my meeting in the morning, so I cannot say if I will be attending. If I can, I will let everyone know before lunch, if I will be there. With or without me, please carry on with the meeting.

I have a trip for a project planned tomorrow. If it gets cancelled for the weather, I may be able to make it to lunch.

In a bit of personal news, my wife is due with our first child end of May. So I may be missing from the next few as well. I hope to catch the Downtown Walking Tour in May.

Did anyone show up at Benito's at lunch?

Did anyone show up at Benito's at lunch?
I did. (I tried to craft something funny to post from JFK's quip about Jefferson dining alone, but nothing popped.) I mentioned to the hostess that I was with the monthly architecture lunch group and more may be joining. She kept directing strangers coming in the door over to my table to see if they were part of the group and wanted to eat with me. That did make me laugh after it happened a few times. Next month!

I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you this month. I would have made it, if I could.

My plan for the day fell apart early on, but then I stayed busy up until lunch time. I didn't pay attention to the time until it was too late to make it.

The May Forum Meeting is this Friday, and I won't be able to make it again. I will leave it up to you all to decide if you want to meet or cancel the meeting.
