Louisiana Consultant Needs a Recipe From New Cookbook.

[cbord]

I live between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Our home and family are okay. We had lots of huge pine trees down. I was so suprise to see none hit our house. Some of my neighbors weren't so lucky. Our power was restored after 11 days. Our lives are slowly getting back to normal.
I was so surprise to hear from current hostess as soon as the phones were restored. I have 3 that want to do their shows in spetember. I need the create a dip chicken fiesta recipe from the new stoneware cookbook.

I earned my 1st super starter package in August. However, I haven't receive the pakage yet due to hurricane. I would appreciate someone posting the recipe and directions for me. I need to see if I can find all the ingredients in time for party.

Thanks
Charlene

Thanks tro both of you.
Stores are opening a little longer starting today. I am going to go early in morning to find the ingredients.
I am hoping for a good show Saturday night. There was no invitations mailed sue to mail service. But the hostess said she was able to call some people. Our plan is to leave show oopen for a week so the hostess can reach more people. I already have one show booked from this one!!!
I am havinga show every Saturday for next 3 weeks.

I'd say that is pretty good for an area just hit by the worst natural disaster our country has experienced! My father in law has a friend that lives in Alabama and he emailed some pictures of the hurricane as it made it's way in and they were AMAZING! Very scary too! I am glad to hear that things are starting to look up. I think it will be nice for your guests to attend the kitchen show...not only can they replace anything that's been ruined, but to them it may feel like things are slowly getting back to normal. Good Luck at your show!
