Hi all! My grand opening show is Sunday and I'm planning on demo-ing the 3 cheese garden pizza (from the new consultant recipes) that uses stoneware. :) I was thinking about preparing ahead of time the brownie truffle bites and letting them "decorate" as they want - using the grater to grate zest, the knife to cut marischino cherries, etc.

Does that sound good? Any other ideas? PC/non-PC is welcome. What beverages should I have on hand? Coffee, tea, water, sangria? Ideas and advice please!!

(side note - my kit is on the truck for delivery today! Yeah!!! :D)
 
That's great, Joy! I know you were nervous about your kit getting to you too late.

Pizza and brownies sound fabulous! Keep the rest simple. Make a pot of coffee, have some water, and some sodas. Or if you know people would be OK with it, a bottle of wine. (Sometimes the best shows are the ones with adult beverages!)
 
You are going to have fun opening your kit!

For a beverage, make the Cran-Raspberry Fizz from Season's Best. It's very good. Your kit won't haev the quick-stir pitcher, but it's still a great recipe.

I was thinking about the cran-raspberry fizz. Since I don't have the quick stir pitcher...do I make as suggested just stir gently?

Ann - I'm quite happy too! Quite relieved when I saw it was on the truck for delivery! :) I think when I go to the grocery store, I might pick up a bottle of wine or 2.... A red and white maybe. I love wine, so if we don't open it, no biggie! :D

I'm so excited for the FedEx guy to get here!!!! I can't wait to open it and get my hands on the products! :D :D :D
 
I had to chuckle - I think the Fedex guy here hates me now since I became a consultant in April, lol. My kids love to see the truck coming up the driveway and ask what new "cooking show stuff" I have to show them!
 
I just had my grand opening show last Friday. I made the same things! Three Cheese Garden Pizza, Mini Chocolate Truffles and I make the Cran-Raspberry Fizz. I had vodka to add to it. YUM! Also some wine. I had beer to go along with the pizza of course, and sodas. Everyone LOVED the Cran-Raz drink! It was a great show! My next one is this Thursday and my host wants the exact same menu! :thumbup:
