Interesting. The name they came up with was Nikko.:D
 
Trust me, you don't want to meet Medusa in a dark cave.

I just realized I'm missing my Greek Rub, and I need it for show on Monday!:eek: :eek: :eek:

Hopefully you find it or someone near you has some!
 
ChefBeckyD said:
Funny you should mention that - I actually had a group of ladies who were naming the Greek who would be doing the rubbing....they also named the Moroccan....:D :D :D (and 2 of them booked! I think they are hoping I'll bring one of them with me the next time!:p )

Now that sounds like a good game to play... I might use this next time when I have a talkative group... the best name wins a bottle of the rub!

Let's see...I'm current missing a Mini Serving Spatula (I know who has this one, but I'm probably going to just let her keep it--it was a $1600 show), my Cranberry Classic Scraper, my set of white Handy Scrapers, and my Citrus Press (which one of my consultants has). Whew! The other hosts from Jan and Feb said they don't have the Scrapers, so who knows??

Wow! That's a tough one. I mean it was YOUR spatula. And after all, if you have to buy another one, you'd only have about $397 of your commission left. I don't know Deb... I think you might just have to call her for it back!:rolleyes:

The worst part about not knowing where the tablecloth is? I can't replace it! If it were a scraper or something, I could just order myself a replacement. But there's no way to get another tablecloth. *sigh*
 
Maybe you could have someone you know look on ebay for one.Um, you could check the marketplace. Yeah, the marketplace, that's the ticket.

Naw- it's not worth the money. I just always seem to lose or ruin my nice things. Drat. Hopefully I'll find it this week as I clean the basement and kitchen out for the demolition.
 
I know the feeling. Years ago, I bought a suit with two pair of pants.I spilled coffee on the jacket.
 
So did you have the show? How did it go?

It was a fair. We froze our tushies off! We were in a (supposedly) heated tent, but were near a doorway. Great for people noticing us, bad for the wind. We all had coats on over our aprons. I did get some good leads - and sold a box of beer bread mix to Colleen's neighbor. :)
 
Oh yes, I forgot it was a booth.

Hope you find the tablecloth, Ann. I lost a Prep Bowl, and it's hard to make those mini cakes with only five prep bowls.

Hey!

I have an extra set of 5 prep bowls if you need to replace one....
 
They also make a great shot glass.Well, assuming you like really strong drinks, anyway.
 
Ann too bad we did not have yesterday's weather!
 
So Ann - have you found your tablecloth yet??

had to ask........

No chance to look yesterday. I was at a fair/cookoff all day yesterday (still want to know who thought an outdoor festival in MI in March was a good idea!) and then a St. Pat's party in the evening. Got home about midnight, which is way past my bedtime.

Here's hoping you find it today! I hadn't thought about the fact that you can't replace it.....ouch!

It might seem like a little thing - but I'll say a prayer that you'll be able to find it today!
 
I hope you find it Ann !!!! I know how much it will suck to lose it and be without it i am totally loving mine and i am glad i earned the pink one but then again i do have a thing for tablecloths.

Hope you find it best of luck
 
slight hijack... do you think the pink HWC one will be vinyl or fabric?

It definitely looks like fabric in the picture
 
They had it at Leadership--it's fabric.

It is fabric, and it has the cutest polka dot ribbon trim on it that will match the gloves. SOOOO cute! (Of course, I didn't earn it-- so if anyone did and doesn't want to keep it, let's talk. ;) )
 
Whoever thought a tablecloth could stretch out to three pages?

Hey, I bet we can take it to 4 pages!


any luck yet, Ann?
 
KG... you know a Cheffer can stretch ANYTHING we want to stretch!!!!!! :)
 
Hee Hee - a post like that is just a challenge for us!:D

I'm surprised DH hasn't thought of that one!

So, I was a total procrastinator yesterday, and I'm obviously doing a good job on that today, too. As soon as I log off here, I'm heading to the bank and then back home into the basement to clear out some space for all the junk I currently have in the dining room. I'm hoping that DH doesn't have a dumpster ordered yet, because then he won't actually have it while I'm gone, and that means that I won't have to move everything out of the kitchen until I return from my trip. Phew!but short answer- no tablecloth yet.
