We are having ribs on the grill, twice baked potatoes and salad. (Boy I love summer!)

Hi Harriet, Thank you for the well wishes. I agree with you 100% as far as not giving away the store! I am a HUGE numbers person, and I wholeheartedly believe a business person should always keep an eye on the profitability of ANY activity that they choose. There are occasions when...

Actually, I have one that I picked, and then the 1st person I told about it picked a business to pamper. Then my Director is also doing it in her town too. It will be very interesting to see how this all pans out. Saying my prayers, Cyndi

Yes ma'am. That is how I am doing it.... for now. (always subject to tweaking)

hmmmmm. Imagine that. "follow the instructions exactly" Why didn't I think of that? Sometimes, I get so ahead of myself and "think" I know what to do...and actually don't follow the instructions exactly. Thank you for reminding me to slow down.

Very good idea! I will add that to the OOF for the fundraiser. Thank you ma'am!

Salmon steak on the grill, steamed broccoli & cauliflower & salad.And if I feel energetic, I might even make a dessert.... Maybe Summer Berry Shortcakes

May I ask what PYB is?Still learning, :) Cyndi

It will probably firm up too much for piping if you leave it over night. :)(I have done that for my kids... They use it as a spread between 2 ritz crackers for a snack.)Maybe make a batch in the morning and let it sit at room temperature until your show.Anyone else have thoughts?

After mine sat for a while, they did firm up.So at a show, you might want to do as Alison suggests and place the chocolate in the fridge for a bit. I would say at least 15 minutes or so. (can you fill the time playing a game or something? wink, wink)They are delicious!!

Thank you Harriet.First, I want to preface everything with stating that everything I do is "in process" and I am always open to modifying things and tweaking as I see things that do and don't work. :)Now, to answer your question, I am giving everyone in the office that orders a 10% discount for...

OK, so y'all have convinced me. I will use it to order samples since they are coming out next week here in Canada.Then from there, I will go for supplies, and then lastly any products that I need/want for my own use.Thank you very very much for your advice, everyone!

Hi Julie, Actually, that is a good question. I am new too, and hadn't thought of that! So..... any suggestions anyone? Typically, the organization does the distribution of the orders...This time though, I am the organization's contact person for fundraising. So, it just works out...

I just asked the manager. :-) I am a pretty social kinda gal, and I speak to him often when I am in the store. on a side note though.... He had forgotten about the MS fundraiser that Safeway is putting on in August. So we had to postpone it to September.

And THANK YOU to everyone for your input!I have started delivering my first orders today. Equipped with all your advice.{{{HUGS}}} Thanks! Cyndi
