I'm doing a show for a Host who used to be a Consultant next week and she wants what she called a "Carmel Apple Wreath". Does anyone know what this is? I can't find it in my files and I don't know if she has the name wrong or what? Any help would be very much appreciated!! Thank you, D.C.

I'm feeling pretty bummed out right now. After a totally empty August, I had 4 shows booked for Sept. I've done two of them, and sales-wise they were both quite successful. Both had about 10 people there. And I didn't get one booking. :( I have two more shows next week, but then nothing. I...

I had a customer at a party last night who, at another PC party, was served taco chips baked on the large round stone and had some kind of spice on them--she thought it might have been cinnamon or nutmeg? She said it was delicious and asked if I could find out the correct spice. I have no idea...

I have a customer who would like to know about the bread tubes, whether they are non-stick? Anyone know? Thanks, D.C.

Buscuit doughToday when I went to buy supplies so I could practise the pizza at home, I accidentally ended up buying one Pilsbury Busciut dough instead of the cresent rolls. (SIGH :rolleyes: ) Can I use this or is it a completely different animal? (worst comes to worst I'll see if I can make...

Apple slicingHow did you slice the apples? I don't have a USG and all my recipe says is spread evenly over cream cheese mixture!! Do you do thin slices? With the Ulitily Knife? Or in chunks? thanks, D.C.

Super Demo!!!Sandy: Thank you for the potato demo file--it's excellent!! :D I love that it gives the whole 'script' for the demo! Sadly, I'm lacking a few of the tools (like the V-shaped cutter and the USG), but I could definately improvise!! Thank you and "showmehow2" both very...

Lost Potato...I couldn't find the "potato file" (I keep hearing that in some low, baritone voice...like the "X-Files" :D ). It sounds interesting. Is this just to show off various tools or do you make something out of the potato? D.C.

Great!That's a big relief to hear--thanks! My show is on Friday (and I think we're making two!). I should probably make a practise one this week (not because I want to EAT it or anything...purely for professional reasons... :p ) D.C.

Kid classes?You have young children that aren't in school--is it possible to take a class with them (some sort of "Mommy and Me" thing?) where you could network? Is there a family center at your base? Someplace where you could post a flyer? Could you use the mini-catalogues plus the flyer to...

Moments of gratitudeSometimes reading these posts makes me want to call all my former hosts and thank them for not being HORRIBLE :D :D !!!! I have never had to go through that...YET. I think because I haven't been at it long enough. Sooner or later, I'll find the HOST FROM H**L and I will...

feeling safer with rollsFunny, my host has the "All The Best" cookbook, and her instructions are for the cresent rolls. I've decided to go with them, because I'm less likely to have a disaster with them than the cookie dough (my inability to deal with cookies in any shape or form goes back a...

For a party coming up the hostess asked for the Mini-cinnamon rolls, which I'm glad to make as it highlights the mini-baker (which is the guest special). However, I am concerned that it dosen't use very many tools. I don't want to insist the host buy groceries for another recipe just to show...

Mingle with neighborsDo you live on base? Do your neighbors with young kids sit around outside on the street in the evening or on weekends? Something where you could stroll over and say "hey". I tried inviting my neighbors to a Pampered Chef party before I knew anyone and got very little...

I know how you feelWhen I first joined up, I had 5 shows schedueled, of which 2 ended up cancelling! I got no bookings from my first 2 shows, but I got 2 from my third. I am also newly returned to the area where I grew up, so my "list of 100" was pretty thin. What really helped me was having 1...
