put my contact info on a non PC-recipe that I made at a social brunch. I had a brunch for my DH's girls BBall team. They all loved one recipe I made for a French Toast Bake and have asked for the recipe. I thought it would be a great way to get their moms to see that I do PC.

What do you think?
 
I don't see a problem with it. The only problem is if you don't identify a PC recipe as a PC recipe by having the information at the bottom.
 
I'm with Cathy. As long as you don't identify it as a PC recipe, you should be fine. After all, you want people to know that part of the reason you're such a wonderful cook is that you have those great PC tools. ;)
 
You could make a label that says:
If you want more great recipes...

Direct them to your website, have them call you, etc.

I think you misspoke. You SHOULD identify the recipe as a PC recipe if it is (if you didn't change it at all - if you do have a change then I would say "adapted from a PC recipe").

It is definitely okay and advised that you put your info (name, title - Merry Cooker, Independent Consultant with The Pampered Chef - phone, email, website) on all papers you give out! It is only the web and the top 100 newspapers/magazines that we are not allowed to advertize on.

No - the original poster was asking if she could put her personal PC info with a recipe she was handing out that IS NOT a PC recipe....and was wondering if that was okay - so Rae is right.....make sure you don't identify it as a PC recipe when it isn't.;) :thumbup:

Oh! Sorry! I missed that. my bad.

I love it when people say that!
 
Rae you should see if Ann will make you a T-shirt with that on it :)

Good idea, but I don't really wear T-shirts. The only one I wear is the Post Slut T-shirt Ann made. I wear it as part of my jammies at PC events. :love:
 
Maybe a pin or ribbon to adorne your jammies:D
 
I think "Rae is right" and "Ann is a know it all" would really start a great fad. You know like the "Vote for Padro" T-shirts, hats and pins.
 
Heck, I'd love a "Rae is Right" button to wear to family get-togethers. Maybe some of my relatives would start paying a modicum of attention to the things I say.



Naaaaaahhhhhh. It'll never happen. :rolleyes:

hey! I resemble that! :grumpy:

Sad, but my DH would definitely buy that one! Heck, who am I kidding, I would buy one for myself!!:p
 
I think Ann should just create a button that says "________ is such a know-it-all"... then we could all get one and fill in whatever name is appropriate!
 
Good idea Katie........



This thread has become a total hijack :)

You say that as if it was a surprise!
 
Didn't surprise me none. I've learned to never expect the last few posts of a thread to have anything to do with the original topic. Several of us should have "Hijacks are us" as a motto.And, yes, I'd be one of them. That's why I said "Several of us." ;)
 
Pretty much how most of our converstaions in the real world happen as well!
 
Sadly, that's true. Of course, it does lead to some interesting insights into other people's psyche.
