Here's my report...I notice from my pics that I guess I don't like talking pictures of people :$, so here are all my foodie photos!

Green curry from Mengrai Thai.  Finally caught the group after a 3 hour delay in Denver and a missed Morato demo :(

Bloomed chocolate dipped marshmallow from Cacao 70 in the distillery district...we had many ideas as to why it bloomed, but forgot to ask Kerry her opinion (and no, I did not buy it!)

 

IMG_3466-resized.jpg

My "make your own" pizza and salad of Friday night...both were fabulous.  Rodney and Kat did a spectacular job keeping us fat and happy over the weekend!

 

IMG_3467-resized.jpgIMG_3468-resized.jpg

A couple of Saturday morning delicacies, I sure do love French pastries!

 

IMG_3470-resized.jpgIMG_3472-resized.jpgIMG_3482-resized.jpg

My progressive pics of the panning we did between Saturday and Sunday...cocoa puffs pre-panned, after panning the first day with a finished product for contrast, and Sunday's final product.  Learned a lot and have a much better appreciation of panned items than I did before!

A few highlights from Saturday night dinner, the caprese salad was to die for, even if tomatoes are not in season in Toronto right now.  Everything was amazing, a truly delightful dinner, worth every penny!  I loved the blue crock the chicken dish was in and of course dessert! Kat outdid herself on that ice cream :x.  And I guess I should've taken a picture of wine, as I might have overindulged a bit on the red wine selection :D

As per a recommendation from Matt and Matt, Gaylene and I went on a public transit adventure in the blustery cold weather Sunday night to enjoy some lovely Pho and salad rolls from the Golden Turtle.  A nice little cleanse after eating all those darn lovely French pastries!

This was probably the highlight of the weekend, the official "winner" of the fuji airbrush.  It will have to wait until next fall to get utilized, but I cannot wait to start working with it.  We'll see how much of a pain it will be getting it through customs and onto the plane :blink:

 

Other than panning I did work on a couple chocolates, just didn't get pictures of them, or of the spread of amazing products that everyone worked on throughout the weekend or what was brought to the social...so it's a good thing that others are better at taking photos than me or we'd have a piss poor report :wink:

 

As always, Kerry outdid herself in another fantastically successful workshop.  The weekend went way too fast, but it was so great to spend the time that I did with like-minded folks playing with chocolate!
