We had the Chicken that goes in the beautiful cranberry deep dish at the last party I was at of 10 guests and I was the only one who purchased it. But now I an a consultant, so maybe I can try that again. I couldn't believe how wonderful that was. And so browned looking tooo.

I have a friend that said to try the chicken enchilada ring, which sounds really good, so I am heading to the store soon to try it out.

But I have TOTALLY decided to grate my cheese ahead of time, I will use the slicer for the tomatoes.

I have some frozen cho chip cookie dough and I am going to stick in a pan of them just for the great smell tooo.

I will sure be glad when this Thursday is over. I made up a flyer that I have stuck on most of my neighbors (which I have never met) to come, and I have included that today just so you could give me final advice on that.

You ALL have been wonderful.

Oh All you Arizona PC's you wanted to know who my director was, Katherine Katz, but I haven't got her onto this forum yet. She is in Very south Gilbert and I am in Very north Mesa.

Talk soon, and again Thank you for the advice. Dee

When I use the deluxe cheese grater, I tell my guests that I call it the "crank and spank." you have to crank the handle and spank the sides to make sure all the cheese comes out! I usually get a laugh outta that.
 
I'm new to this site, but I've been a PC for a year now. I love Microwave recipes for the summer! Go to consultants corner, then recipe lookup, and choose "Microwave" as your keyword. Lots of great ideas will pop out at you. These are usually easier, and made with items in your starter kit, and your host will LOVE you for not heating up her house in July!! One of my favs is the "cool and creamy chocolate fondue". Side note: items you should think about getting w/ your PC dollars if you like doing microwave shows... of course the deep covered baker, the fluted stoneware (looks like an angel food cake pan), and the rice cooker. If you want to see the recipes I use in these let me know & I'll e-mail you. Just remember to keep it simple! If you have fun so will everyone! It's ok to do one recipe and have your host provide the rest...your show is a DEMO--you are not CATERING! Show how a few of the tools work that you feel comfortable with...then just help your guest place their orders! Have fun and welcome to the PC family!
