What a Show-Several Things Went Wrong

[aried]

Did a show today an hour away from my house. Didn't know what I was thinking on time and left late-realized that on way there. Called host and started driving 80 mph. Made brownies for ice cream sundaes. Made brownies in large bar pan (only one mix) and baked too long they were hard. Thought I brought cool whip and opened container and it was left over bbq! Sales were good, but no bookings! Second show I did this weekend-haven't done one in 2 months!

I hate it when that happens!!! That's when I remind everyone I am a "PAMPERED" chef, not a "PERFECT" one!!!

Tomorrow, you'll be able to laugh...at least a little, (I especially enjoyed the leftover BBQ - Sorry!). Lessons learned so there won't be a next time- at least with THOSE problems.

I did say that line about being a "pampered chef" . yes leason learned going to put in red on my host info sheet when to leave & double check containers before I leave. LOL

That's when you talk about the benefits of using prep bowls to store leftovers - you can SEE what's in them so no surprises and no science projects LOL

I'm sorry things went wrong, I hate when that happens!

You can always throw in the line, "see they let anyone do this."

Or, my personal favorite . . . That's why they call us The Pampered Chef and not the perfect chef.

Sorry it didn't go perfectly...it happens to all of us....isn't it great that you can burn the food and still get paid? He He

I like the prep bowl comment...going to use that one!

A-HA! LOL....good one! It's not so much about the trouble we get into, but how we get out of it

Another good come back, Amy! Pampered Chef... so easy even a DITZ can do it!!

I love that line....I can get into trouble all by myself in so many ways, but stories like this help me see that I can get out!!

Thanks so much for sharing this story. I could just imagine the feeling when you opened that container to see the BBQ!!!

did the burnt brownies stick to the bar pan? probably not as much as if they were in a metal sheet pan! i'd show off how nicely the stoneware bakes food that's non-stick!

just talked to my host and sales are at $600!

It doesn't happen to all of us! At my show Friday night I had a group of ladies that weren't paying attention and I was trying to talk to them to no avail. So I half shouted, "Hey Peanut gallery, how many of you love your stoneware?" They just looked at me, but they paid attention for the rest of the show! 2 of them were past hosts too. I have NEVER said anything like that at a show, it kind of just slipped out. We ended up laughing about it later in my show.

I love the "Pampered Chef" not Perfect chef line!
