Hi All,

I've been lurking for nearly a year and finally got around to registering.  I've learned so much from this forum and have purchased an AR, wok and have made many meals thanks to the posters on this forum.  

I'll be buying a ticket for Eggfest in Toronto and hope to meet some of you in person.

    @Little_Steven is a big guy around here. He's in Caledon and should be there. 

    Otherwise, welcome from down south of the border!

    Welcome to the lifestlye. I'm up in Aurora. A lot of us are cooking at the Toronto Eggfest so make sure you introduce yourself. Look forward to meeting you.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Thanks. I had noticed and commented on @speleoegg coming to the Toronto Eggfest. I was asking @JamesM if he also had plans to come.

    Of course we'd be delighted if you came up too @nolaegghead!

    Welcome to the board! This is my first post as well despite lurking for quite a while. I live in Woodstock ON. My wife won a LG BGE back in September 2013 and I have claimed it for my own since then.

     I am hoping to make it to Egg Fest on Saturday just waiting to find out if I can get a baby sitter for my daughter. Assuming I make it I hope to meet some of you there!

    Do ex-pats count?   Even if they were townies?  ;-)

    I'll actually be in the Codroy Valley for two weeks in July.   No egging at that time, alas.
