I woulda made an omelet using the mushrooms... And some sauteed onions. :victory:

Yeah, that sounds great. I succumbed to the lazy. 2 pans, one for the eggs and one for the 'shrooms, quick and easy.

The omelet would've saved you one pan. :P

Indeed but to cook a proper omelet with those ingredients folded in takes a bit more finesse and another egg.

Hehe, yeah. :mrgreen:

My mushroom-onion-etc omelets end up looking more like mushroom-onion-etc scrambles. :beaten:

Hmm, no sign of Triky and his report on last Sunday's food event...

Maybe a post-food fest hangover? :mrgreen:

Have you tried these? Can't wrap my brain around hot (or sweet) chili peppers and chocolate. I've had dark chocolate with cayenne pepper which was good.

Yup, a number of people have been out sick at work.

Still alive. Didn't catch a cold but I did catch a case of the income tax. Been busy getting my paper work in order to file my returns.

In any case, went to the event last Sunday. Had a blast. 4 elementary school friends and I met up and pigged out, a few of us got drunk, but all of us had a blast. :)

Here are few pics...wish they were better but it's tough to take pictures with food in one hand and a whirlwind of activity around you.

Very nice!! Was this an event where you pay for each sampling?

No it's a flat ticket price for attendance. Prices went up this year. The VIP tickets were $95 entitling you entrance to the event an hour before everyone else, from 12pm-5pm. General admission tickets were $75, allowing attendance from 1pm-5pm.

The cost of admissions allows for unlimited amounts of food and drink, which includes beer, wine, and hard liquor. There were 3 or 4 beer companies in attendance, dozens of winemakers, and a few hard liquor companies...whiskey, bourbon, vodka, etc.

Considering there were about 50 restaurants represented, it's a bargain. For the alcohol alone it's a bargain!

^ Nice variety... Though the oyster did gross me out. :beaten:

:hehe: Yeah that's the great thing about this event. The variety of foods offered from restaurants both cheap and expensive, casual and fine dining, make for a well rounded, diverse experience for those attendance.

I ate several other things as well aside from what was photographed above.
