Nope... It sometimes comes from chasis flex though, at least when the side ones shatter...

I just like them because I've been told they are better in the wet. So we will see.

went fine. I had the food ready at 11:00 like I was asked and she was almost 2 hours late. At 3:00 I went back over to do a meet and greet. It was more like "I want out of here, lets get this s&!t over with,Im out of here attitude" We did get a photo but I did not get a chance to Actually "meet" her. BEOTCH.
I prepared:
Grilled Arctic Char and King Oyster Mushroom with Scallion Potato Pancake and Bkack trumpet Mushroom Reduction

Seared Day boat Sea Scallops with Wilted Rainbow Chard and Roasted Red Pepper Coulis

Chocolate Coated Red Wine Poached Pears Stuffed with Laura Chenal Goat Cheese

Congratulations the food network is know for quality and the fact that you were the one that they chose to cook for her speaks volumes of your quality and service. Minichef when your in her position remember how she had no concern for the five star meal that you prepared. I know that you will at least be on time, driving a mini does that for you.... Nice job!!!!

Congratulations, Chef. It is nice to see you back in your niche. Not very professional on her part.

One things for sure. When I procrastinate, I do it well. Man, last night was fun. After I finished my paper I went drifting in an abandoned parking lot in my jeep. I was able to keep a sustained completley sideways slide between cars 20ft apart.

Thanks. The only thing not listed was the bowling. I generally don't list things that have nothing to do with driving or MINIs.

Great! Don't park it outside where the vandals can get at it. I don't believe in spontaneous shattering.
