Well, I didn't do 24 in 24, but I do have my November pretty much booked, and am working on filling Dec and Jan. Hoping the Fairs this Saturday and next will provide lots of leads!
Praying everyone's challenge is successful! I actually found it to be fun, even though it meant pushing myself out of my comfort zone!

I had one call me today and say she'd have to cancel, because she can't afford to buy the ingredients for the recipe. I told her not to worry, I'd do a 'free show,' meaning I'll buy the groceries, paper plates, etc. She was amazed, and said the last time she had a show, they did 3 recipes, and she spent over $70 just for the food! Uh, no, we'll do one recipe, and it will be cheap.
She wanted to do an appetizer show (her show's at 3 on Saturday), but I think I'll talk her into a Power Cooking, instead! Cheap, and convenient with how busy the next couple of months are going to be for everyone.
