Yes I know, I have bee a consultant for almost 7 years. I know where the PC resources are but I was hoping someone who had actually done a show in the field could help with some insight. I have made this at home a while ago and misplaced my outline. I have been sick or taking care or sick kids for 2 weeks and did not have a chance to make it again before my show today.

Never mind... I will make due

Good luck at your show today Paulette!

I love this recipe, but have had trouble doing it at shows. I'd appreciate any tips that you can share. I've done it at 2 shows and had a lot of trouble filling the time in between micro-cookings with this one. I felt really ackward and kinda lost my train of thought with it. What do you do during the cook times?

 

[etteluap70PC]

Thanks Linda!

I was looking for tips on those exact things! A friend I made at conference gave me her outline but I misplaced it. and she has not been on FB lately.

Oh well... I will make it work!

I am so excited for this show. I am praying for some bookings and at least 1 recruit lead.

 

[pamperedlinda]

I've got my fingers crossed for you - rock it!

Thanks Linda, It means alot! With my DH out of work I NEED to step up mu business. I have been working it more and trying to be more efficient. My avatar is my new wallpaper on my laptop and I'm working on getting my family to hold me accountable.

I am making this at a show tonight, and am planning on starting the first cooking as people arrive and then while it is cooking the first time, I'll be doing my intro and then we can move right into the demo with me beginning by telling them about the first steps to this recipe. I am also going to make the garlic bites to go along side of it, so I figure I can give them the opportunity to use the knife to cut up the biscuits. This will be my first time making it at a party so I guess we'll see how it goes!

Hmmm... I thought more people were doing this at shows and raving about it. Where they????

Helloooo??? LOL

Actually, I have a show today and we are making the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder. This will be the first time I have made it at a show however I did demo it for our cluster meeting when we first got the recipe.
I have made it several times at home and I think I feel comfortable doing it at the show today. I will let you know how it goes!

I am also looking for the same thing. I did come across this thread for a few pointers.

I have done this show successfully for about 3 months, and I LOVE it.I don't have a written outline for it, but I'll try to give some pointers/tips for doing it.FIRST - I mostly peel the potatoes before the show...the first time I did this, I didn't, and the top of the soup was a layer of potato peels. It look :yuck:yuck:yuck:, so I decided to peel from then on.THEN - I also cut the potatoes into at least quarters. (this cuts substantial time off the actual cooking time)Just before people start arriving, I pour the 1/2 cup of milk into the potatoes, and, also S&P, and pop it into the micro for 12 minutes. For the actual demo - I first show them the cooked potatoes, and then do the Garlic Parmesan Biscuit Bites, and put those in the oven, and then I finish the soup, and put that back in the micro for about 6-7 minutes, While it's in the micro, I do the toppings (chop bacon or ham, broccoli, etc...) and then pull the biscuits out of the oven. Show the biscuits sliding out of the pan, talk about cookware, and then get the Chowder out of the micro. Do the finishing touches - and it's done!

Do you steam the broccoli ahead of show time?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Do you steam the broccoli ahead of show time?

I usually have the host do that before the show, if she wants broccoli.

Thanks Becky, I will recap how my show went later... I will make some adjustments next time.

guess what my sales are???

Wahoo Paulette!!! You are going to love looking at your incentive tracker after it's all posted.

I'm doing the chowder for the first time at a show tomorrow. I made it at home a while ago. Got distracted by my kids and only nuked it for half the time (missed the second 11 minutes). Finally figured it out after forcing myself to eat it and wondering why it wasn't thicker. Here's hoping it comes out well tomorrow.

Becca - if you quarter (or more) the potatoes, you can skip the 2nd 11 minutes. Much quicker that way!

I didn't... just used the recipe card. It felt very awkward. I will use BeckyD's tips next time.

This show was at a newly remodeled house. I guess the place was a NASTY pit when they bought it a year ago. So she invited over 40 and had almost 20 in attendance. They all wanted to see the house. Some of them drove quite a way. The furthest was over 4 hours! Many drove an hr or more.

I just tried to keep it relaxed and fun.
