I shortened up the instructions a little but hopefully it all makes sense. It looks good but how are you going to do it for a show, cook it in advance?

How funny, you finially get the recipe and you get two. You are loved, even if your thread was hijacked on accident.

 

[sushimommy]

thanks everyone! no problem with the hijack - i think it's hilarious!!

 

[sushimommy]

It looks good but how are you going to do it for a show, cook it in advance?

what i think i can do (tell me if this is too much "winging it") is to prepare a 30 minute chicken (with lots of garlic), and use the meat from that for my chicken. demo the grill pan for the peaches and cornbread, bring the mint from my garden in the herb keeper to snip. it will be a warmer, grilled salad than the instructions state, but i think it should still work.

my plan for this show is to talk about the 30 minute chicken as a spring timesaver - make a salad, a pasta, eat with sides, sandwiches, etc....

That sounds good. You might even market the salad demo as a "wilted" version of the recipe in the booklet (I make a spinach salad called wilted spinach salad--the spinach is topped with hot sauteed mushrooms and bacon, the heat from which cause the spinach to slightly wilt--might not sound good but it is delicious)

Sounds like you'll have a great demo--a couple of other ideas (if you have time)--bake the cornbread yourself in the mini baker (that ought to be the right size for one of those little mixes) if you want to talk more about stoneware, serve the salad on a SA dish/bowl, and use the new salad spinner and bamboo tongs too!

thanks, Kim - great ideas! i am planning on using the spinner/tongs, and the sa round platter - it is so cute elevated on the upside-down small dot bowl! and i will see if one of those small mixes will fit in my little bar pan since i don't have the mini baker, or i could use the pie plate. i might need to do it ahead though, so it is cool enough to cut and grill in the pan.i LOVE wilted spinach salad! not sure if i can find watercress around here - i might have to substitute another lettuce, but that's okay!thanks again!

If you have an Albertsons they sell it I buy it often.

You could probably subs. baby spinach, much much easier to find than watercress.
