You could make dip with the rubs (1/2 c mayo, 1/2 c sour cream and 1 Tbs seasoning). You could mix some sweet sprinkles into some softened cream cheese or yogurt and dip with fruit or animal crackers. Dip pound cake into the dessert sauces. If it's warm and outside be careful with the...

I didn't earn any either. For now I just ordered the chip maker, square stoneware (wanted a square one anyway even though I don't love the color can't beat the price), and the simple slicer (mostly used my UM for slicing anyway). There are other things I want, but I have to pace myself...

I have a few clear paper trays (inexpensive from Staples) on a few shelves in my office. They're stackable so I can put them 3 high and have my order forms in one, mini cattys and recipe cards in another, P3 receipts in another, envelopes, etc. It has worked wonderfully for me to maximize the...

I love the sample size containers for sauces. It's such a pain and an expense the way it's going right now. As for handle covers....I saw some at Crate & Barrel for under $5. Wishing I bought one when I was there. I had that metal ring at the end of the executive cookware burned on the...

I have a Droid 2 that I got certified pre-owned on Verizon website. Works fine and was only $50. I can't see spending $200 on a phone, but that's just me. I love it for checking e-mails and browsing. I'm sure I can make much better use of it than I am, but I haven't yet. Basic difference...

I'm still waiting for mine :*(

I have checks made out to me and some shows are almost 100% checks, while some others have more credit card payments. As a guest at a DS show I will always prefer to pay by check and not worry that my credit card number is hanging out somewhere. I almost always wait for the checks to clear (I...

If the significant others are there for the after-party then I don't think you should be expected to make double the food. I like the idea of cutting small pieces, then there might be enough left for them to try. Sometimes I really go above and beyond for someone that has been good for my...

What ages are your kids? If you are homeschooling perhaps you can incorporate some of the real world aspects of your business into what you are teaching them. My kids watched the dvd that came with the changeover kit with me yesterday. It entertained them and allowed me to do something I felt...

I think this will generate a lot of recruits among people who are on the fence or considering the opportunity. I have a friend who I'm trying to encourage and sent this to her and didn't hear anything back. She's been unemployed for 2 years and lives in a high income area (so there are people...

I have a customer/friend who just ordered the orange and eggplant microfiber towels thinking they were the dish cloths she got back in October. As far as I know PC doesn't regularly carry the dish cloths. Does anyone have some they'd like to part with? Thanks!

I did the pineapple upside down cake in my new stoneware fluted pan last week. I forgot to oil the inside of the pan and it came out beautifully. I also turned the cake out within a few minutes of removing it from the microwave. Now I wonder if I need to be oiling it since I didn't the first...

Microwave cake in dcb or rice cooked. My dh is all about dessert in minutes.

I also got the Organizing Utility Tote. I just got plain black with no monogram. It looks like a mini version of the PC new consultant kit tote. It's perfect for carrying all my paperwork inside and my calculator, pens, drawing slips, recipe cards, etc. in the outside pockets. It happened to...

For me it depends on the show. Guests who haven't been to a show before or don't know PC well seem to usually take the catalogs. I just ask them to pass it on to someone else or leave it in their doctor's office/work when they're done with it. Shows where I know a number of people or they've...
