Excuse the title - couldn't resist!

 

Kat - who works with @Alleguede - is accompanying me to the Dallas Chocolate Festival, where we will have a table to show off the EZtemper. It could prove interesting as it doesn't seem a very organized show. I asked what my table number was (both to arrange electricity and do some targeted advertising) and was told that I should bring my own power cord and that I'd be along the back wall next to 'so and so  - therefore easy to find! Not giving me that warm and fuzzy feeling that it's going to be a good use of my advertising dollars.

 

Anyway - Kat and I are in the lounge at the Toronto airport awaiting boarding. They have food and booze here! Little early for the booze though. So I am enjoying a latte and some edamame, cous cous and a tomato, cucumber and spinach salad. All quite tolerable.

Won't be using the WIFI on the plane since it's a short flight and not worth paying - so will check back in on arrival in Dallas.

I know it's a fair ways from Houston, but hopefully the hurricane situation doesn't keep people away.  Good luck!

Apparently for a small fee I can get 30 min of internet (I can get 1 gig for 7 days on my MIFI for a couple of dollars more) so I'll show you lunch. Looking forward to dinner at Pecan Lodge!

Had that same thought - and the Florida people too!

How was avocado margarita?  It sounds less sweet than the usual kind.

She really liked it and she was hesitant going in!

Habanero sauce - tasted but not given a lot of love 


Too fiery or just not very tasty?

It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.
