This morning, Tomric hosted us and what great hosts they were! We all were able to do some shopping, including some “deals and steals” of mounds and colored cocoa butter. sadly, I didn’t get a before picture...these were taken after we descended on the deals -

Gwbyls and I met in Buffalo and drove up to NOL....sadly neither of our gps knew about a closed entrance ramp to the highway leading to Canada so that set us back. I noticed a familiar eatery on our way to the hotel and since both of us were starving we drove to the hotel, checked in and headed back.... this little place was where the workshop had lunch after spending a morning with Art and Wilma at F/X chocolate Gwbyls was being good and had the roasted vegetable salad, I had the cod special, we both had wine... We then took a detour to NOL to see the town....and it was a tad to dark for pictures -
Gwbyls and I here - were is everyone?

I made my Friday night Show and Tell pieces today and they are more like Hide and Seek. They taste good, look bad.....and Imdont have time to redo them for the workshop. These can be an excellent example of failures in the decoration experiment category

Patris - methinks you should file a patent for those......and yes, I’m being serious

No textures needed, but thank you. And I will let you choose the colors....the only one that I must specifically request is the previously mentioned color THANK YOU
