True!
I’m 6’ 2"–You’re a Dane–I’m a Swede
Just a Swede? I would have thought you embodied cultural fusion, Ray 
OK, you got me: I’m 50% a Scot.

Not exactly built for warm SoCal, are you 
Things are pretty diverse here, Alexander.
We’ve got 4 seasons up in the mountains at Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear: I meet lots of your countrymen here in SOCAL in the winter.
Traveling in Asia is also like that. Chiang Mai, Thailand, is in the foothills of the Himalayas; Tokyo, Japan has Mt. Fuji. All over the world, there’s warm places where both you and I can feel comfortable.

I am moving back to Singapore in a few months and that is definitely not the right climate for a Norseman. Enjoying the last respite of Australian winter while I can.

Oh Oh,
I don’t know Singapore, but I know Bangkok. On a typical Sunny humid day, you can take a walk and a shower at the same time.
My best suggestion for you is to take weekend trips to Chiang Mai–especially during the rainy season. You won’t be alone.
Hi Alexander,
Even though I do use my Vollrath Mirage in catering from time to time, I treat it as if it were a stove–with it’s own electrical, circuit breaker, and exhaust fan (shared with my microwave).
I don’t move it around.
You never answered my question, Ray. Are you licensed to cater anywhere in SOCAL? Anywhere at all?

That’s how I picture it, too. Or, if you have the AC on, take it outside. Heat up the heat.
I was going to grab one for my camper, Kaleokahu. I think someone else said they took theirs camping.
Interesting, when I really go camping ( I go for longs hikes in Utah, AZ, NM) I call it hiking. I’m sleeping under the stars, no real protection from elements. Then, what I call camping is cutting grass, lounging with friends, drinkin’ brew by a campfire. I also have a rocket stove at my camper; which is my current go to. Rocket stoves are a heaven send. Can build one for almost free.

Yeah, interesting.
Hmmm, what licensure and health codes would apply if a caterer operated from Mars?

Hi Meekah,
I do not operate a commercial catering operation. I carry out not for profit catering for/with my church and friends–as I have described many times. I violate no laws.
Isn’t that pretty obvious?
So, you answered Kaleo’s question, the second time he asked…
Hi Meekah,
His questions, IMO, were bogus.
I already had answered Kaleo’s most recent “question,” in various forms, at least 10 or 15 times over the past five years.
I began my recent hobby kitchen 7 years ago as an experiment–with induction as a key component–but so was the need to get broader feedback, and examine the role of Vollrath induction in catering. We have a full commercial kitchen at my church, with professional caterers and restaurant owners to share the facilities. They’ve helped me when I made a dinner part of some teen music concert activities. We also have smaller events (20-30 people) where I participate most actively. Outside the church, I regularly have “pot luck” responsibilities with a Healthcare group at the home of an RN/Ph D research collaborator.
I’ve reported on this many times–most recently a July 4th incident in which an ECI pot was damaged. Why is this question asked–over and over?

Ah, so you bring food to your church. That’s not catering as the term is usually understood.
You didn’t make your different usage obvious.

Hi Kaleo,
Not true.
Only sometimes to church–other times to other groups–other places. I’ve made this clear many times, many posts, many threads. You’re misrepresenting what I say–again.
Ray. You may think you have explained many times. I am sure you have, but they are not clear. I am still not sure what you were talking about. I do not care and which is why I did not chime in. It seems Kaleo and Meekah also do not understand or confused.
I am sure Kaleo has misrepresented your position. However, take a step back, maybe your explanations are not clear.
