Is this French for "Where the hell were you - I didn't see you on
Saturday" ?
Actually did make it to the festival as planned, but was unable to
stay more than a couple of hours (spent more time driving from
Richmond than at the festival) due to some friends playing in a
baseball grand final.
Didn't see the CH table (didn't really look as can't remember it
being mentioned on the list). Saw Michael but he was busy pleasing
the plebs at most times and didn't get a chance to say gudday.
Enjoyed the festival - loved the different sauces (although the
imports from US are a bit $$$ for me - still bought a bottle of
Kryptonite to try).
Rum habernaro wings were nice at lunch - distinct variation on my
normal buffalo wings - great flavour - would be great with crispier
wings.
Tried the chilli beer - can't say I liked it - didn't really taste
like beer or chilli. Found I got good results from adding a teaspoon
or so of the Kryptonite to a bottle of beer (my girlfriend thinks I'm
crazy - but this is no change).
Variety of plants was incredible. Didn't intend to buy anymore but
still found myself walking out with 6 healthy plants - particularly
liked the "Purple Prince". Potted out front of my unit I've been
getting good comments about its great looks.
Bought the Pepper growing book I've seen recommended here - can't
remember the name - it's well worth buying - best and most complete
reference I've yet seen.
Overall, very much looking forward to next year. Have girlfriend's
promise to drive me home so I can stay late and have the odd beer and
chilli (or twelve).
