Revision as of 03:09, 22 August 2009
My apologies to anyone who may be looking at this at the moment,
something has gone quite strange with the formatting down in the food section,
I am fiddling with it to ascertain what I have done wrong

Over one hundred people attended the celebration, held at beautiful Poipu Beach, just a short walk from their house.
Lilly's Birthday Party
Chef du Jour.- James G. Uerber
Lay Day
Sunday was a rest day and we set off to explore the island
One Ute - 9 people - no problem
Jim proudly displays the new downsized Signature Systems HQ & proposed Distribution model - orange flash on right of sheds.
Jim assures us that the strange leafed plants are cacao and it is normal to intersperse it with gum trees in six foot high grass. Oh and by the way , can anyone see the track we came in on ?
Waimea Canyon - The Grand Canyon of Hawaii"
One side of the ridge is the Waimea Canyon, the other side the Na Pali Cliffs
My guide for the afternoon "Sherpa" Karl Hasser
The top of the Waimea Canyon and magnificent views to the North of the Nap Pali coastline
Beautiful sunshine one minute and then in rolled the clouds and it was time to go
Whilst some of us were enjoying the sights of the island Jim and a hardy bunch of chocaholics had returned to SSI to begin the chocolate making process
The complicated process required fermenting the cocao beans and then grinding them for days in the red machine in the background.
Eventually three days later the final process, the chocolate is extruded into the plastic cases below.
Barb prided herself on being the first there every morning - about 6.30AM. On the last morning I found out why
To make chocolate one needs to appreciate the finer points of chocolate consumption Master classes were held under the auspices of the sommelier of chocolate - Jim Criollo Guerber

This line is in here because the formatting went quite peculiar at this point.
The headings from below were appearing betwen the two pictures above.
In frustration I put a line of garbled characters, And lo & behold it didn't display between the pictures, but when I tidied it up, it moved back up there. So I leave it here for your next master class in Wiki design.
Food played an important role during the week
Jim and Louisa ably assisted by apprentice chef Justin and short order chef Brian prepared meals to delight and tantalise the finest programmers in the world of Comet.
There was the occasional bottle of red wine to complement the fare
Gerry "ulu" Bennet points out the finer points of breadfruit cuisine to an attentive head chef and Karl was always on hand to taste test
I have just noticed that all the photos of Barb include food or wine, she did actually do some work as well
