We got some Chicken Italians from the Pig the other week - really good.

The Pig...could that be the infamous Piggly Wiggly that I've heard so much about?

Hi Diane!!

Heather, do you know Linda's ressie number and password? I am currently on the DCL site and see that there are Brunch openings at Palo.

Sorry Nancy...I don't. If she phones me I'll try and remember to ask her.

Heather

 

[GOS]

We have some really nice ones that are only 1.5 WW points.

Is anyone going to be bringing an umbrella? I was thinking about brining one, but that means only 2 could fit under it so I would really need to bring 3 so now I am not so sure.

Why wouldn't you want to be soaked in that wonderful Florida rain?!!!
The first time I got to be in the rain in Florida, I couldn't believe how NICE and wonderfully refreshing it was! It is so different from the rain we get up here in Calgary!
Need an umbrella for Kira, but not for Cass and I!

Who makes them? I'm always open to trying new Chicken sausages. The one's I have are from Walmart SS and made by Benetino's. I love the Smoked Mozzeralla with artichoke and garlic ones the best.

They are their own brand - I believe Fox Brothers.

We got them at the Pig in Hartland. Not sure if the one in Sussex (where Silver Spring hits Main) would have them. Not sure if the same people own both.

 

[JLDSMD]

It hit land further down the coast of Mexico, nearer Belize.

Heather

That is what I predicted and seen yesterday.

Just not sure what effect the outer bands had on Cozumel. It looked like only Tropical Force winds hit there. And with the storm surge coming from the east (that's the direction on the north side of the storm), it would hit on the opposite side of the island from the port.

 

[JLDSMD]

Oh yeah, and those sausages are only 3 WW pts each!! YUMMO!!!!

Not sure of the point calculation on the Italians.

We do Turkey Store brats every once and a while.

The Saz's BBQ stuff looks low in fat as well. Not sure on the point conversion though.

 

[JLDSMD]

Am I alone now, or are you guys reading the Menu?

 

[JLDSMD]

Oh FO-ey!

I believe they were spared. Costa Maya was not so lucky!

How did they fare? How is the port?

 

[JLDSMD]

The Pig...could that be the infamous Piggly Wiggly that I've heard so much about?

Heather

That is correct. Where did you hear of the Pig?

They are based out of Sheboygan, WI, I believe.

 

[cntkg1]

Nancy--am I completely blind??? I don't see where there any reservations for any meal at Palo. Help!! I want to go to brunch too!

I have the page open under my ressie and it says that there are openings for brunch. I'll click over and see what they are saying.

The Pig...could that be the infamous Piggly Wiggly that I've heard so much about?

Heather

Heather

Wow!! I could eat two of them then. Are they the regular sized?

 

[Walt & Di]

That is correct. Where did you hear of the Pig?

I am out of here to run errands then to football and cheering. talk to you all later. Diane

Hey, just an update, #5 just passed 23,000. We are within approx. 700 now.

We are shaving off about 100 per day. If we keep that up, we'll easily have them by Labor Day.

If this thread gets going like the other night, you'll take them over in a couple of days.
