Quite Curious

f I could do today all over again, I would. Today was a whirlwind of activity, and it was all so much fun. OXO went over the top with everything again, treating us to breakfast, lunch, and the most amazing dinner at Morimoto. On top of that, they gave us a tour of their building and a tutorial on one of the products I’ll be doing a demo on. We didn’t have a chance to go on a tour of Food Network Studios, since they weren’t filming that day (All the sets are temporary! Can you believe that?), so a few of us went out on our own adventure in NY.

uess what?! I’m in New York right now. It was a hectic morning getting out the door, and a long 5 hour flight, but we made it! We arrived in NYC at 5pm, so we had just enough time to check out our hotel and get some dinner. We also received MORE STUFF from OXO. I know. Crazy. They’re spoiling us rotten.

an you believe I’m going to New York 7 HOURS?! It seems like just yesterday when we were both sitting on the couch, contemplating whether or not we should enter the OXO Video Contest.

Well, we did, and we won - big time. Not only did they send us a bunch of free OXO stuff, they’re flying us out to New York there on Virgin America (which I have yet to try), putting us up at the beautiful Ace Hotel in Manhattan, possibly taking us on a Food Network Studios tour, and taking us all out to eat at Morimoto Restaurant. Yes, that Morimoto! Only one of the greatest Iron Chefs of all time (!)

Believe it or not, after my prize of $1000 in OXO products, they sent me even more stuff. This time they sent the products I’ll be doing video demos for, so I can have a chance to get acquainted with them. They also sent me the scripts ahead of time, which was really, really great.

I probably should have practiced more, but with the bake sale and all the other oddball things I do outside of work, I didn’t have that much time to go over it. Well, it’s a five hour plane ride from here to NY, so that’s all I’ll probably do on the plane!
