Great ideas, ladies. Thanks. Might the mini-whipper work?

Recipes will often suggest using the V-shaped cutter as a drizzling tool for ingredients like caramel. What do you find to work well as a drizzling tool bedsides this?

Thanks for your reply!!

Has anyone ever done a show where you don't make a recipe but talk about the products or go through the catalogue? How is this done?

Moi aussi (me too)I have had 5 flippin' cancellations in 2 days. Some with LAME excuses, someon'es grandma died, and some with NO excuse. Hello? This is my income!! So much for my sell-a-thon. You know what though? I am making a connection between those who cancel as those who are...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! My 1st is today, incidentally and I LOVE your idea and flyer. It's great! I just may have to try it out. Here's wishing you a great year ahead, Bee!

Speaking of cheeseIs is true that if it's wrapped in foil it last's longer? I had a girl scoff at me when I told her that I've been told this. She said it makes no difference. Anyone know for sure??

Wow!Oh Misty, that is almost unbelievable! Poor you. I can see how discouraged you must be. If it were me, it would be enough to make me toss in the towel...almost. Remember that this is NOT about you, but about inconsiderate people. You need to trudge forward and find DECENT hosts (and...
