 Hello, thank you for allowing me to join. My name Amy, I live in Portage Indiana. I am from Texas, moved here about 4 years ago. I am currently a culinary arts teacher at the high school here in town. I have over 26 years in the hospitality industry ranging from pastry to sushi, private chef and GM of three delis. I have cooked for a former president, won medals and now I just want to share my life and knowledge with future chefs. I am on here specifically because I have been having issues with airbrushing coco butter for bonbons and fell in love with the forum. I am currently starting a little chocolate business out of my house and I will post some pictures of my work.

Welcome, neighbor. I'll sometimes drive to Dune Park to catch the South Shore Line to Chicago.

 

I'm guessing you've already located the chocolate-related threads -- including the one about the eG chocolate workshop near Toronto.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

Welcome, Amy!  I've been missing from eG for awhile and I'm happy that my first action back is to say hello to someone new.  Your culinary background sounds amazing and I look forward to getting to know you.  I'm back in my home state of VA now, but we lived in Batesville IN for a couple of years at the end of the 1980s/beginning of the 1990s.

Hello neighbor! Yes I have read about it, I am curious but on a teachers salary highly doubt I would be able to make it. I have been working my way through all of the airbrushing threads first then will move on to the bonbon threads.
