I wasn't impressed when I used it. I thought it took way to long for the potatoes to cook. Maybe it was just me.

I haven't had the issue for awhile, but I call the host ( and get a 99.9% return call) when I tell her, I googled her address, know where she lives and will be there 30mins before show time. I hope she has guest there , that I will bring the ingredients and just charge her for them. You will get...

I am hoping someone post some notes as well, I keep checking. Unable to attend this year too.
