Your Favorite Apple Recipe to Demo?Mine is Apple Nut Ring- except I increased it by 50% and use the Cranberry Rectagular Baker. I renamed it Cinnamon Apple Sticky Buns.
 
I'm going to have to take another look at that recipe!

My host last night made the apple pie from the All the Best cookbook and was taking it out as we prepped for the show. I definitely need to look at that recipe too!

My October shows are DDB recipes for the most part but I'm thinking holiday pie baking for December. November will be holiday entertaining featuring SA.
 
What do you do when you are practicing "work avoidence" to get yourselves back on track?

I find I'm very effecient on deadline, but not so much when I still have time.

So, there really are no suggestions for this one? Well, that explains why I'm having such trouble with it!

When there is something you are supposed to be doing and you do everything else BUT that.

You know, spend time on the computer, talk on the phone, go for a walk, clean out your junk drawer that's been waiting for 10 years. Anything to avoid the work you're supposed to be doing.

I usually beat myself up... Seriously, I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to things like this. I have to admit I spend FAR too much time on the computer... and I have yet to find a good way to get back on track. So I end up making myself feel worse for the lost time and really don't know how to break that model... it's not a very healthy one at that.
 
HA! Are you kidding! I am on HERE when I am supposed to be doing something else. But I use the chatter thread ("punky brewsters dog" currently) every Monday night to report on an hour or two of phone calling- and the folks there know that I do it and pester me (nicely of course) to remind me it is my phoning night. You can join me in doing that if you like?
 
That might work... I have to work on my 'self-talk' too... you'd think I'da learned better by now after watching What the Bleep and The Secret :rolleyes:

Oh ok. Like staying on here or Chef Success? HAHA!

I haven't found a solution for that yet.
 
Make a personal goal. Even as simple as one call a day for a week. Once you accomplish that you will feel so good that it will be easier to work towards the bigger goals.
 
Just saw this thread.When it is a task that I Do Not Like, I set the timer for 15 min and just work on that task. Often the task is over well before the timer goes off. If the task isn't quite finished, I take a 15 min break and then do 15 min more.Learned this technique from flylady.com...has helped me in all areas! Including making phone calls :)

This is a good idea. I'm on the computer right now because I don't want to do the project that is in front of me. 15 minutes, huh? Okay, I can try that. (In a few minutes! haha)
