I'd love to be on the list, too - I have a new baby this year, and couldn't figure out how to juggle nursing and conference going - maybe next year! [email protected]

It's nice to see what everyone is reading :) I would love to be part of a book discussion thread... Currently (and embarassingly) I have been reading the "In Death" Murder mysteries by JD Robb (the pen name for Nora Roberts) They're fast and edgy, and as I am hugely pregnant, they are not...

So beautiful! Our wedding cake was covered with rolled white chocolate icing instead of fondant - I am not sure how you make it, but it was the best tasting fondant ever! (even though I kept putting my cake down and losing it...) I had a hostess make a barbie cake for a little girl whose...

I did a gluten free show for a friend who has celiac disease - I made the chicken tortilla soup from the healthy cookbook ( do you know which one I mean? Two weeks til baby, and my brain is so on vaca....) It was FABULOUS and a big success, party wise. Good luck!

It happened to me, too - HO replaced it, no problem!

Neat thread! I am 32-33 weeks, and having baby #2 on March 9th at 8am via c-section. I have one older daughter - Molly, aged 3.5. We have no idea what this baby will be (besides human :) ) but right now my gut is saying boy.... My whole pregnancy, I have craved chinese food (which I have...

:) My DH said the same thing when I wanted to join :) My director told me to tell him - It can't be a bad pyramid to be part of if WARREN BUFFET is at the top (Berkshire-Hathaway) That made him pipe down :)

I am enjoying this thread - I am due in 8wks, and we're still arguing about names! I have a 3yo daughter named Molly Jean - Molly for Mary, her great grandmother, and Jean, for the other great grandma, and it's my middle name, too. I wanted to name her Soledad, and call her Sunny, but DH's...

I have mixed feelings about the apron - I am avery large lady, and it fits me awkwardly. However, I am also almost 8mos pregnant, and it accomodates the belly nicely! When I was at conference last year- the woman who did our cooking show live had someone with an embroidery machine put...

Please add me, too! I got a supply order the other day, and ripped into it, thinking, "YAY! New paperwork" and then remembered that it was the end of december, not january, and I had ordered this stuff...sigh...so excited to hear! [email protected] Thank you! Laurel

I have been making these a lot - and I can NEVER get the caramel sauce to come out correctly- I think there's something wrong with the recipe- there are lots of good recipes for caramel sauce on places like allfoods.com and epicurious.com, so i might just go use those. Mostly, I have been using...

Here's another MA girl - I was born in Worcester, but grew up all over the country...moved back here after graduate school, and now I live in Winchester with my DH and DD! Pleased to meet you!

I am pleased to report that the burner incident happened in October, and with regular usage, the pan has not broken yet! I love my stones!

I've done two buffett shows - I just did Jimmy Buffett trivia - there's a really good book out there on the topic, which makes finding stuff on the internet difficult - it's all copyrighted (which I wish I realized earlier, as I was doing it at the last minute) We made margaritas in the...

I made Choc Martinis a week or so ago - I got the recipe from my director, so they must work in the QSP - although I did them in my shaker as I was not making as many - it's really cool, because they are clear :) You use equal parts Stoli Vanil and clear Creme de Cacao - mix with ice, and then...
