Re: HousepartyYes! I got an invite and made it into the American Idol Party! Woohoo! Thanks ladies for helping a guy find fun free stuff!

I can't recommend Mac enough...this coming from somebody who is in IT support in a Windows shop. Don't forget that you can get refurb units directly at apple.com with the same warranty as brand new!

One warning on Bosch...you have to TOTALLY rinse the dishes. Bosch has no disposal in the dishwasher like most american models. They are quiet, and do clean well...but a pain to have to rinse the dishes so much (to me.)

The Pineapple on baked ham is the bomb!

I keep going back to the Quiche Tartlets for the perfect brunch recipe. It doesn't feature the DCB, but does show off quite alot of products and I've sold quite a few mini-tart setups after doing this recipe for 2 of my first 4 shows. Plus, it tastes great!

Make sure that you warm the ham up in the oven without the glaze on. The glaze should only be on for the last 30 minutes (to prevent burning) I always use brown spicy mustard.

This is gonna sound funny, but trust me: mustard, honey, crushed cinnamon toast crunch cereal, should be a wet sand consistancy. It is WONDERFUL!

Do the browns on the jacket and boots match exactly? If yes, then brown boots...if no, then black.

Loving the Quiche Lorraine tartlets...myself.

It can be used to dry hand washed delicates / pantyhose

I started on March 4 and I just qualified tonight putting me at over 1350. Leaving for 1 week vacation to Disney with my family tomorrow so I wanted to do it before I left. Yeah! I get my 50% back...all the free HWC stuff and $200 in PC dollars. I have 2 shows booked in April with 2 more...

Ackk...I gave chef's tools sizes. It actually doesn't say in the catalog.

I've made these 3 times using refrigerated pie dough and have never had them stick at all. I would try again with the pie dough if I were you...and make sure that the people don't press them into the pan "too" hard.

So I finalized the show and ended up just over $400 after outside orders. Not too bad for my first live cooking show!

I have 3 bookings off the show...one is another from the host in July for a grilling show. 1 is for a housewarming (date yet to be officially determined.) Other is in August for a bridal shower. (I will be qualified by then.)
