The Taste of Buffalo

This weekend went waaay too fast for my taste, probably it's because I was busy. I went both yesterday and today to the Taste of Buffalo. I had a good time both days. The only thing I had a complaint about was they really should figure out how to get a special place for those who are waiting in line. I felt like I was waling in a sea of people and it didn't make my claustrophobia do well at times. The organizers should make a pathway for people to get to the places without having to dodge people. I know in some areas, it's hard to do that because it's a small area, but there must be a way.
But that was a minor issue for me, it didn't mess with my good time. Yesterday, I had a great time, even though it was near 90 with high humidity. I didn't use my tickets on much food, because I discovered the cooking deomonstrations they were having. I had a nice sample of this citrus brind pork loin that was to die for. And I also had this wonderful chicken and pasta dish and cake with kiwi and strawberry topping from Tops (a local grocery store) Culenary School and a Nutella crepe from Chef Shayna (can't remember her name) who was on season 4's Hell's Kitchen. She was great and I'm planning on going to her restaurant, Steel Crazy Cafe soon. I also met Mr. Food, who is one of the sweetest men I've met. He gave me his autograph and kiss on the cheek.
Today, I had some great bread salad from the Connecticut Culenary Institute. It was really good and very easy to make. I'm so glad the Taste of Buffalo now has the cooking demonstration, and I hope they have them next year. Also, today, I met some local TV personalities which was great.
The Taste of Buffalo is a wonderful experience. I do have to warn people if you don't like crowds, you probably don't want to go. *lol*
Now I need to get ready for my trip to my Mom's and the family get together. I'm going to see my aunt and uncle from TX, who I haven't seen in six years and my cousin from CO who I haven't seen in a couple years. :D
