I drove up to Barrie this am to Demo my Eztemper - arrived early due to my speeding. So have time for breakfast great little diner. Eggs Benny on a cheese biscuit with home fries.

Don't know the cost - but it's 220 so not suitable for my setup

Weird - found what looked like that exact same page this morning and it only showed 240V. Or perhaps I was looking at the creative and that's why.

Have you got a link to the 110 V one. I can't find it online

Luis - is that the one that chills too?

4.5 kg

I'm sure I will - there is usually one or two in the trunk at any given time - and this year I don't have to bring everything I own to the workshop (it's already there)!

For anyone who hasn't done so - our blocked group of rooms at the hotel expires on the 20th of April. After that date rate and availability can't be guaranteed.

Suspect it should be fine - did you get the invite?

Dallas, I couldn't be more thrilled that you're thrilled!

Lots of interest! Quite thrilling - and I must share - Peter Greweling just left with one! For those not involved in the chocolate end of things - Peter is a God! He thought it was interesting that I spelled his last name correctly - I said that was because at least twice a week I typed it out when I recommended his book to someone.

Looking out from our booth at the PMCA - these 3 students from Ryerson University (about 40 miles from my home in Ontario) showed up. They had been invited, as many promising food science students are, to the event this year - it is an industry that supports it's young. The young man in the middle was dressed as a candy cane. Dinner tonight was at Rice and Noodles finally! Grilled chicken summer rolls. Some sort of grilled chicken for Rodney. Bun with grilled pork and spring rolls for me.

When I make baked beans - I cook the beans first - then they get baked with the remaining ingredients - ditto the ones I do in the slow cooker - so I guess the pressure cooker has the same issue.

It was the Grille in the Marriott here. They were not quite as horrifying as they sound. I often find arancini kind of dry and boring - these had all the food groups!

Wandered down to the hotel bar this evening - asked the waiter to get the bar tender to make me a Brother's Perryman - neglected to tell him that it should go in a rocks glass - so I lost a lot in the transfer. Rodney had some variation on a Tom Collins with gin, cucumber, grapefruit and soda. Not particularly well balanced. Not at all hungry but the food smelled good so we decided to have what they were calling Philly Cheesesteak Risotto Croquettes - a rather posh name for Anancini stuffed with meat, cheese and grilled onions. They were served with horseradish aioli.

I've been coming down to the PMCA for a number of years - I've come through blizzards through the Alleghenys - I've had torrential rain falls - it's a bit of a crap shoot. Most years when it was in Hershey they'd already started to plant the crops and you have the smell of chocolate and shit from the manure in the air.

Little envelope on the upper right - go to 'compose new' - put my name in To - don't forget a subject.

Can I get everyones e-mail address via PM - we need them so that Cacao Barry can send you invites to Morato? Also cell phone numbers that you will be using in Canada if possible and proper names would be helpful! I'll send you back my cell number in case you need to reach me after your arrival (or before).

Nope - no garlic sauce. He did seem to enjoy that fried ice cream.

After a bit of Tuesday Morning, Outlet Mall and thrift store shopping we decided to hit Rice and Noodles for lunch. Wrong! Good God fearing town as this is - Rice and Noodles was closed on Sunday. Almost all our other top picks were also apparently closed - but we lucked upon Sukhothai. Crispy rolls with pork. Penang Curry for me. Rice of course. Sweet and sour chicken for Rodney. Sticky red rice with mango for dessert. Deep fried ice cream.

Think I can almost see that from my room - what's it noted for?
