It was definitely a training exercise alright. For about 3 minutes I was scrambling. I read the same thing about aroma being low. The more I contemplate the more I think I will just see how it turns out. Thanks a bunch.

Well, as I said earlier in the post, I'm not quite sure what to expect. It seems like mine are getting at it pretty well. Of course, I have nothing to compare it to, but time will tell.
