I'm leaving on a jet plane early tomorrow morning and I'll be in Utah tomorrow!


 I'm so excited! There are some EPIC exciting things going on there and I couldn't resist being there for the events! You think I'm kidding? 

Well, first, I'm meeting with the outstanding people at Honeyville Grain to look at my new spice line they will be carrying in their retail stores along with my tutorial CD's! If that wasn't big, they are also talking about having me along for classes at the stores in Utah, Arizona and California.  Details to come for that for sure!! 

 Second, I'll be on KSL TV Studio 5 Monday morning. Big cool. So look for me if you live there in Utah...and I'll also see about posting the video here. I think we can work that out.
