  1. P.S. regarding the thin stripe on Morato's chocolate... It is my recollection that during his lecture he stated the mold was first sprayed with the dark color, then he (actually his assistant) went back and with a tool of some sort scraped out the center line, then sprayed the yellow/gold color.

  2. Hello All, The wife and I made it back home with no difficulty (except for long security lines) after spending a couple of extra days exploring downtown Toronto. Word to the wise - do NOT miss visiting the Aga Kahn museum. It is breathtaking. The restaurant is great, too. We had lunch there but they also serve dinner, I believe. Be sure to sign up for the 12:30 pm daily architectural tour of the building. You will thank me for insisting on this! Many many thanks to Kerry, Ruth, and Rodney for all the work it takes to undertake a project such as this. And thank you everyone for extending such warmth an courtesy to a newcomer (and wife). I understand why everyone makes it a point to participate each year. We both had a great experience. I look forward to being with everyone again next year in Las Vegas. Warm regards, Dilettante (Greg)
  3. I, too, will have a (rental) car during the weekend. Will be staying at the Holiday Inn Yorkdale and have room for two (three if willing to squeeze) to get to SOMA Fri. am. i don't know exactly what we will be doing after the SOMA tour so take note that riders might be on their own after the tour. We will pass in the Thai dinner Thursday. Heading to Toronto from Algonquin Park tomorrow so likely will just go to the hotel to check in after Morato. Diletante (Greg)
  4. Mengrai Gourmet Thai, 82 Ontario Street, Toronto, ON M5A 2V3, Canada Appears to be just 500 m - 6 minutes walk - from the Morato session @ George Brown College, 300 Adelaide Street East, Toronto, ON, Canada https://www.google.com/maps/dir/George+Brown+College,+300+Adelaide+Street+East,+Toronto,+ON,+Canada/Mengrai+Gourmet+Thai,+82+Ontario+Street,+Toronto,+ON+M5A+2V3,+Canada/@43.6530083,-79.3691566,18z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb3096a5a77d:0xff842766d81d6343!2m2!1d-79.369778!2d43.652062!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb39ba35f65f:0x3a3a6bc7adf0d42!2m2!1d-79.3671394!2d43.6540794!3e2
  5. Just checked. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed until Monday May 16 (school break). http://www.thechefshouse.com/ Thank you for your interest in The Chefs’ House. Please be advised that we are currently closed for our inter-semester break. We will re-open on Monday May 16. For lunch or dinner reservations please use OpenTable, call 416.415.2260, or email chefshouse@georgebrown.ca.
  6. Kerry, We will presumably meet one another at the Morato event on Thursday evening. However, in case something untoward occurs: 1) What is time and location for the SOMA tour on Friday? (my guess is @ the factory location - 35 Golden Ave.) 2) Time and location of Friday Pizza night / show & tell? Thanks, Dilletante
  7. If space is available, count both of us in for the Soma tour / visit. Thanks.
  8. Count both of us in, too. We will be fine with whatever the cost is determined to be.
  9. Add us to the dinner Saturday list, please. Dilettante + wife
  10. Hi Kerry, I will also take you up on the IR thermometer offer. Thanks.
  11. Kerry, i received the invitation from Cacao Barry for the Morato event May 12 was and have purchased my tickets. Yay ! Dilettante (Greg)
  12. Procedural question... How does one go about sending a PM? Dilettante (Greg)
  13. Kerry, The Callebaut / Cacao Barry's Chocolate Academy website appears to have a registration page for Ramon Morato's May 12 demonstration. However, it appears that a corporate affiliation is needed for registration. Is this where we are supposed to sign up for the evening event? http://www.chocolate-academy.com/us/en/calendar?oper=detail,course=4295&courseDate=3381 Thanks, Dillettante (Greg)
