Um, I was still on the road...arrived at the Millenium at 11 p.m. Waited only 20 mins to check in but still got a free night. So THERE! :angel:

 

[katie0128]

Ok, you are forgiven... We were at Champs until about 9:30p or so, but then everyone started to collapse about the same time. Did you hear about the fire drill at the Millennium at about 7p? Just be glad you were on the road and not having to try to deal with that mess or the horrific check in lines at that time.

LOL! Amazing what happens when your built up expectations don't quite meet reality, isn't it?

(case in point - our reaction to Miami and then the recruiting stipulation)

 

[ChefJoyJ]

Thanks for the host and guest list!

 

[Christ Follower]

So I'm guessing we should be doing a lot of salad shows in April then huh?

 

[DebbieJ]

Oh, the Miami trip will be AWESOME!!! The Fountainblu on South Beach?!?!?!?!?! ARe you frickin KIDDING ME?!?!?!!?!?!?!?! HEAVEN!!!! I would never EVER stay there on my own and I know that Miami PC style will be incredible. That said, DH went to college in Miami, so I have my sights on Paris.

 

[DebbieJ]

One new theme show is salads--two different recipes and they both look awesome.

 

[DebbieJ]

Did anyone mention the Power Cooking theme they're giving us to finish up our Fall Winter season? All the info will be online on Monday and I'm so PSYCHED!!! I just booked one while on my way home. The show is two weeks from today. WOO HOOO!!! Thank you Test Kitchens!!!!!

[ChefJoyJ]

Let me just say, we were all a sad, disappointed lot before we knew about the Fontainbleu! Several people, me included , changed our tunes once we knew about that. All of a sudden, it became a much cooler incentive trip!

 

[Lisa/ChefBear]

Change in half price Specials???What are the half price specials going to be??

Lisa

 

[Christ Follower]

What's the power cooking show about? That sounds interseting.....

 

[DebbieJ]

Lisa

Ooh....let's see if I can remember....

1. SS cookware
2. Exec cookware
3. Forged Cutlery
4. An Outdoor Party set with the plates, new tumblers, new caddy, and I'm guessing the utensils too?
5. The three new scrapers--micro master mega
6. One with the LRS with handles and the pizza cutter, might include the woven tray?

We didn't get to see the catalog, they just had photos of the pages on the big screen.

 

[DebbieJ]

What's the power cooking show about? That sounds interseting.....

Using a make ahead ground beef recipe as a base, the test kitchens came up with FIVE recipes that can be assembled and frozen. At a show, you would assemble three of them for your host to put in her freezer.Dinner by Design, eat your heart out!!!!!All recipes, shopping lists, and tip sheets will be online on Monday!!!!!! I already booked one of these shows for two weeks from today--I'm SOOO psyched!!

 

[JAE]

[DebbieJ]

Thanks for all your info.

[DebbieJ]

Not sure....all specifics will be online on Monday. They just said there's a total of 5 recipes with the intention of us doing 3 at a show.

Yes, it is- Central Coast Cali to be exact.
Hi Ellen, are you happy with our sell-a-thon package?

I'm pretty darn excited! I guess we'll see when it arrives. How about you?

 

[ChefSheryl]

Yes, I am excited. I am just bummed it doesn't include the collapsible bowl. I was hoping not to have to buy anything from the sample package but I dig that bowl. The green is totally far-out man. Those party sticks may be a hit in our neck of the woods. There are always activities in the park and people bring food and beverages.

That's what I was thinking too. I guess we could use some of our DEC PC $$ to buy the samples though huh? Or better yet, you should save yours so you can come to conferece with me!

That would be great if I earned PC $ in Dec. lol

 

[Shawnna]

Thanks for sharing all your information. I see lots of great new products...I can already tell I am going to be broke after next month...LOL. I earned level 2, so I am getting several things FREE, but I can already tell I want MORE, MORE, MORE!!

I am excited about the power cooking theme. I sent a similar idea 2 years ago except you didn't cook anything ahead of time. I got the idea from my HomeMade Gourmet lady. She does 4 meals in 4 minutes. Purchase boneless skinless chicken breasts. While they are frozen place them into ziplock bags with various seasonings and liquid. Place the bags into the freezer. When you get up in the morning, place the contents of 1 bag into the crockpot and when you get home your dinner is ready. This theme can easily be adapted for our seasonings and to use in the DCB or Rectangle Baker.

Even Carolyn, who lives right there, says it's fabulous!!

I've gotta tell ya - I have quite a vast vocabulary...and yet, even *I* can't come up with enough words to properly describe the Fountainbleau...it;s just spectacular!

 

[jcsmilez]

Fontainbleu didn't excite me that much when I checked out the website.:blushing: It seemed like a fancy spa with a night club??? I'm not really into clubbing and my husband isn't excited about a spa. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I would love to be excited about it. Are there other amenities?

 

[allisonserna]

I checked out the 51 page brouchure, and I've stayed in a few nice resorts in my time, but the rooms alone are absoultly beat-i-full and if PC were to put a chain on me and make me stay within the grounds of this hotel, there would be no complaints from me. But of course there will be daytime activites outside of the resort to do, along with group dinners to look forward to.

Plus Miami itself is very pretty, very vibrant full of life, great culture, fab food, and just a great place to say "I've been there!" when you see clips of it on tv (like Top Chef, Real World, etc.)
