A while back, I promised someone that I would post the way I pack my three pieces. Here it is - better late than never, I guess. Before I start, I should warn you that I take WAY more than I should and the bags are HEAVY! I don't promise you will be able to lift them...I manage it, but that's just me. I also should tell you that I make two trips in and three trips out. My first trip I take in my laptop and dirty dish bin (filled with my paperwork tote). My second trip in I take the three Show to Go pieces. When I leave, the paperwork tote and dirty dish bin become two different trips. Okay, here goes Rolling Suitcase Outside Side 1 2 cookbooks 2 hotpads oven mitt Outside Side 2 Patriotic heart mold Mini-baker or Mini-oval baker or small bar pan Front pockets SA Large Bowl or whatever large flat stone I'm using Small saute pan Back pocket (by the handle) Large grooved cutting board Cutting board Cooling Rack SS Mixing lids Interior back pocket SA Large Square Interior lid zipper pocket bag of gloves, Bandaids Hospitality Stand feet Interior back panel slots (from right to left) EAD Serated Bread Knife Citrus Press Meat Tenderizer Utility Knife 4 Rear Panel pockets bottom left - petite squares bottom right - prep bowl lids top left - prep bowls top right - Measure all filled with DCG large barrel and The Grate Container Left front long panel pocket Striped rectangular platter Left Front set of pockets bottom left - 3 colored SA small bowls bottom right - 3 minisquares, 2 SA white small bowls top - Striped SA medium Square Right Front set of pockets right rear- US&G, microplane Right front - DCG with small barrel inserted, adjustable measuring scoop, timer Interior Side pocket 1 Chef's Knife Crinkle cutter Utility Knife Interior Side pocket 2 Baker's roller heart towel handi-scraper Middle of case Classic Batter bowl, wrapped in towel, with Easy Read measuring cups and washcloth tucked inside OR rice cooker, depending on what I'm making Table cloth Apron Recipe Binder SA Caddy Large Tote Long Back Pocket Whatever woven piece I'm taking Colander lids Family Skillet, if I need it Side Pocket Small batter bowl wrapped in towel SS Mixing Bowls stacked on top Middle Pocket Door prize basket Spice/Sugar Shaker basket APCS on stand Side Pocket Chillzanne rectangular server Piled Upside Down, over the 3 pockets Colander set Tool Turn Around Tote every tool you can image, of course Food Chopper stuck in middle, handle side down Okay, that's it...like I said, it's heavy, but managable for me, at least. Of course, there are times when I don't take some things (APCS), but usually that's what I'm taking with me. I should probably cut it down somewhat, but I'm still new enough to think that if I bring it, they will buy it...lol. Hope this helps...feel free to ask questions if I wasn't clear enough. Have a great night, Sandy
Last night I packed EVERYTHING I needed for my show, BUT my paperwork in the TTA and CAT. I didn't earn the Rolling Case. It was a little heavy, but still manageable. I took along my crate for dirty dishes and my yaffa paperwork block. I have never been able to get into a hosts house in less then 5 trips and last night I made it in 3!! Now it only I can get my hands on a Rolling Case!
