Just wondering, do you have bandaids and plastic gloves, just in case? Am I just a klutz? My son is ready to take my PC kit away. I have done something stupid and gotten injured at 1/2 of my shows so far!
Last night, I had a show. It was at the neighbor's house, just a mile over or so. I was showing the Microplane Course Grater and I was using the food holder from the Fine Grater, telling them that it works on both and makes it safer to grate cheese. Bam! I got my pinky. How? Talking and not paying attention.
So, I go to the sink, grab a paper towel, take a look and think for a second that I lucked out. NOPE! The blood started. So, I asked the host for a bandaid. She didn't have one! Yikes! Someone did pull one out of her purse but I knew that I wouldn't be able to go on without plastic gloves, so I had one of the guests run me home to bandage up and get a plastic glove. It was bleeding like crazy! But, once bandages properly, it slowed.
By the time I got back, the guests had sort of followed the recipe and had the jerk chicken nachos ready for the oven. We finished the party, everyone had a ball, I got 4 bookings from a room of 10 people and they all told me what a fabulous consultant I was. The lady that was my target for sales even ordered (she had told me the night before about buying all her PC from garage sales). It wasn't just a spatula either. She bought the 8" non-stick skillet! She was one that told me I had done a much better job than many of the other parties she had been to.
So, now, I am going to have my own "First Aid" kit in my kit. I have fallen flat on my face not just one party, but two and now getting cut when using safety features? Good grief!
