Thread: Toronto area open workshop.

A few more shots from my phone:

Thanks so much to Eric for hosting! Good times.

I wanted to thank Eric for hosting the event and everyone for sharing their knowledge. It was definitely a blast. Due to popular demand, here's the 411 on the grub:

Burgers
-2.25lbs ground pork
-2.25lbs ground beef
-Black peppr
-Crushed chillies (I also added a bit of some Mexican hot sauce but not enough as they turned out milder than usual)
-Vegeta mix (it's a mix of dried veggies and salt or MSG, in this case the non-MSG version, you can get it at No Frills, blue bags or blue round cardboard "cans") or you can use straight up salt or MSG, to taste
-5 cloves of garlic
-1/3 cup of dry parsley flakes
-Mix well, let sit overnight, make patties, throw on the BBQ, enjoy

Chicken (in this case boneless skinless drumsticks)
-Just leave in the marinade overnight, grill on high for 2min per side (usually about 475) and then on low (350ish) for about 10-12min per side, but with poultry you gotta make sure it's properly cooked. Marinade is as follows:
-Garlic (pressed)
-Black pepper
-Parsley
-Vegeta brand MSG or MSG-free mix (optional but it really does improve the taste)
-Soya sauce (use more than usual if you won't do MSG)
-Worcestershire sauce
-Mustard (real stuff, none of that pasty yellow junk)
-Some lemon juice to make the meat softer
-Beer (Millennium Buzz)
-Sesame oil (be careful, only a couple of drops will do, it's very powerful stuff)

It was awesome, thank you Eric for hosting such great event!
Very glad to meet everyone.

P.S.

Hey Lynn,

What Does your calendar look like for February? I am sure all the guy's would like to have you come up!

Thanks Eric for hosting, Iliya for making stupid burgers that were freaking delish, Nate for honing up a new-old razor for me, James for the soaps and Colin for the razor itself! Everyone else I got to meet it was awesome meeting you all, I promise I've forgotten most of your names already (no offence, my memory is just shite!) but I look forward to meeting with you all again.

Cheers,

M.

PS. I shaved with the straight tonight. I'll apologize now, I didn't follow the proper advice and just shave a piece of a cheek...I did a full 3 pass (WTG, XTG, XTG opposite on neck/ATG sideburns and cheeks) shave tonight and it was AWESOME! Time to buy a strop...and hones?...LOL

And that's how the acquisition orders begin
