Re: The Bellingham Bay Marathon B&B Party

I just noticed that Mike is running the royal Vic on that Sunday, Maybe he can bring Sans back with him for Monday's dinner?

Sadly, Arf will not fly through Seattle on her way back home, so even if we got her flight delayed, it still wouldn't get her to the pink door on this trip.

Re: The Bellingham Bay Marathon B&B Party

For your information taper boy the goddesses do need at least 8 hours of beauty sleep for a nice looking picture at the finish line... so this delay start does not change the "schedule for the slumber party" at all.

Also... thank you for your very persuasive speech about the Pink Door's offering... but you have to work a little bit harder to convince me that this famous or infamous PD is worth of my presence.
For example, I need to know if they serve gnochi (my Italian grandmother would measure a true Italian Resturante by it's authentic Italian plates such as the traditional Italian gnochi.) Please let me know what you find out

Still open with my schedule... I just want to know if the PD is worth my while.

thanks tamagenerosity.

It was actually a trick to get another goddess in the belly thread as it's the t-shirt from the Eugene Marathon I wanted to give you for your running the first five Eugene miles with me and picking me up from mile 18 - the mile 19 goddess/labduck aid station but I somehow got distracted at the finish and forgot to get it so, when I got a recent event e-mail about next year's edition, I found out they still had some left and am happy to give it to you with appreciation for your generosity.

thanks again.

Ok... I spent a while last night convincing DH we needed to do it... and we're coming back from his appointment in Lynwood just for this event... Good 'nuff? Working on flight schedules, etc, but it looks like we'll just fly into Seattle, drive up to Belly, then leave Monday late a.m. to take a scenic route to Lynwood where he has a bizniz appt... then off to Seattle to stop at the Tasting Room, the market and PD...

dear multilingual, multicultural, multitalented, multigorgeous pinkdooralinaposai,

You can run but you can't hide from me, . . . I mean from the Pink Door as the owner's "homespun Italian menu[/URL" target="_blank">" was inspired by "many family Sunday gatherings and days in her grandfather's garden" and, of course, includes gnochi ala romano[/URL" target="_blank"> for your dining pleasure.

anything else dear goddess of the epicure?

evan - quick tell me what gnochi means before the boss gets back.
somehow, I never paid much attention to the menu.

Other things on your mind, eh? Gnochi, also as I've seen it most often as gnocchi, are basically potato dumplings. I've always thought of them more as a pasta (flour-based) item with cheese, but there are tons of varieties... all very yummy. Check this[/URL" target="_blank"> out. I did peruse the menu and wine list... had to to convince DH it was a worthwhile stop, and it looked very nice...

I am very glad to hear that the infamous Pink Door does offer gnochi, but please let not people convince you that gnochi is just a potato dumpling or a "lump" of potatoes for each individual gnochi carries the heart, the pulse and the beat of every italian women.

And just as an FYI for the marathon runners... gnochies are the best carboloading food according to my nutritionist.

Still thinking and working out the possibility of being there on Monday night. It all depends on how my stubborn child (the race which I am acting as an RD) is behaving at that time.
But mean while I am so happy to see that Erika and DH will be there.

Re: The Bellingham Bay Marathon B&B Party

thanks evan and mari. now I see Gnocchi di Patate on the menu at Guiseppe's[/URL" target="_blank"> too so the belly should be good for our real bellies too.

mari - with your Autumn Leaves 5/10K runs expanding from 50 runners in 2005 to more than 400 last year and more expected this year just six days after the belly maybe we can string a trapeze line from the ceiling at Guiseppi's in case you can't make it to the FAMOUS! Pink Door this time.

4. Stash dry gloves/socks/pre-cut plastics/dry tee and old sweat shirts along course (bonus is hot soup in thermos)

In addition to a big smile for photogs no matter what, possible general last-minute before/during/after check-list for busy boomers

Re: The Bellingham Bay Marathon B&B Party

My "buff" needs hugs?? Hmmm, not so sure about that. Pleasantly sore today, but will work out every other day till Belly (and beyond) so core and form are beyond reproach...

Feeling good and more than ready for Belly...
We get in Friday night and will overnight in Seattle, drive up to Bellingham to be there mid-afternoon?? Who should we check with when we get there?

Re: The Bellingham Bay Marathon B&B Party

Hooorayyyyy that is such a great news about your registration Gordon. I am so relived knowing that you are doing OK. Just taper very well and your foot will do just fine. I can't wait to meet you and DW. Could you add candles and serving utensils for the cake to your list?.

Erika my sistahhh you will have to check in with me. I will send you my cell number in your private email. It will be great to meet your DH as well.

Opie, are you still cool for us to use your room for the party?

Now... that the hardest part of the training is over and we are all starting to taper... I think it is time to start planning the talent show segment of the "party"

Mariposai - I saw how fresh you were on the slopes of Mt. Spokane after running eight miles for your angel team so I already have you down for even faster and, if you do beat opie on his own way to a PR, any wish you want come true at the Pink Door.
