i was able to pop in and out while it cooked and then presented the whole thing on a platter which everyone ate from. put together what you can, and report back to me once you're done. i followed the directions step by step but the thing kept falling off. of course, there is nothing wrong with that! my advice is to open the packaging carefully. if i went again i will check direct with the hotel that breakfast is included. how would that even be possible? in his living room every flat space was covered with books, magazines, dvds and cds.
