Postby The Teardrop Nanny » Mon May 02, 2011 3:24 pm

:applause: A really GREAT time! So many people to meet and greet.
The highlight of my stay was judging the Iron Chef Competition. Thanks to all those cooks who fed me such delicious dishes.

The video for this event (Iron Chef) will be on-line in 3-4 weeks.
Thanks to Grant & that Dam Committee for putting on another fun time.

Thanks, Grant and Kay, for a great event. I had a wonderful time and will try to make it again next year (maybe I can collect another plaque for the "longest trail'). Kay, your chowder was as wonderful as I remember it at the Glyphs. Congrats to the DO champ! Grant, you saved me with the new tongue wheel - thanks so much.
I plan heading to Colorado in July. Does anyone know of any teardrop gatherings taking place in that beautiful state? 8)

I missed all the afterglow here on the forum, finally got home yesterday after three weeks of 12 hour work days, while camped out in front of Grant's shop.
Here's the video we shot during the gathering and if you enjoy good Mexican food, you may want to try this recipe next time you go camping...

Burritos Ranchero - Chile Verde

Really enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new ones!!! :thumbsup:
