I have heard of this a few times but I have no other information other than the name. I have done searches and come up empty. Can anyone give me some more info about this.
 
If you click on files in the menu and search on "desperate" you'll find a number of documents about the game.

I believe it. Sometimes its a matter of finding the right words.

Also the basic search does NOT search through the file section. It took me a while to figure that out.
 
Rae,
I did a Pampered Chef Desperate Housewive show and served up Chocolate Martinis (too strong though - Creme de cocoa and vodka --- I needed to put chocolate syrup and milk in it.) and the Tiramasu brownie Trifle.

Everybody loved it but I wound up with a half pitcher of chocolate martinis.

I have taken a look at the files and I just don't quite get how you would do a show like this.
 
I've done two DH shows and they were a hit! I made Gabrielle's-Tempting Tapas and Susan's Cheesy artichoke triangles. Suggested the host make some Wysteria punch or lawnboy lemonade and also made a better than sex chocolate cake. I also had a quiz with trivia about the show and a quiz to see what character the guests were most alike. Everyone had a great time and it was fun (since I am a fan of the show). HTH!

That sounds like so much fun!!!! I love Desperate Housewives!!!!
 
That does sound fun!!!

I think I want to try this sometime when we get back from our visit to the states.

I think I'm going to try a Pampered Chef bunco, too, since bunco is a favorite game on base!
