Red bus? There was no red bus during my tour ... only orange, blue and green.I am taking digital pix!

We were on the 8am tour the first day. They had orange, red, blue, green, & white! I may even be forgetting a color...

I'm fine Kathy... I'm used to it.. all my female friends smack me... I guess it has to do with my sarcastic humor..

I shot video of everyone on our tour that won... I've not reviewed them yet..

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

That explains it ... mine was on the last day, when there were only 3 buses, the one bound for O'Hare, the one bound for Midway, and the one going to the hotels and McCormick. Ours (the third bus) was the only one that was crowded.

Well, at least your used to it then.

It was such a hoot watching everyone in the booth - maybe next year I'll shoot your video and you can shoot mine .

 

[colegrovet]

sounds like a GREAT plan..

I'm so looking forward to next year!!!!

Just remember to hold out that apron at the end ....

Di,
Loved the pic! Congrats! Your Fed Ex guy needs a vacation after that delivery! How cool!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

What pic? Did someone else post one or do you mean Rhonda's or the other ones posted?

Took digitial pix and asked my roomate to download them and send to me ... also have pix of me at the home office (including in the booth) which are on a disc. But my computer is not fixed yet, so I can't download from a disc just yet!

Well, my Christmas in July thing was kind of a bust ... that said, my BFF was here and so we tore into the boxes ... and now it looks like Christmas morning, with boxes everywhere!

In addition to the cookware, I got:

* Cooking for two or more
* THE SPINNER!!!
* Silicone floral cake pan
* DOTTS BOWL
* Square baker
* CAN OPENER
* Mini serving spatula
* Table linnens (napkins, placemats and square rings ... I'm not kicked in the head over those.)
* Desert plates
* Triffle bowl
* Deep covered baker

I already have the DCB and the triffle bowl, so I am giving the DCB to the woman who gave up her Marriot points to get us a hotel room, because I wouldn't have been there to win without her ... and my recuriter may buy the triffle bowl or exchange it for supplies.

Grand total is $1,159.75! Not bad for a few minutes in a booth!

BFF (who has always been my biggest PC cheerleader) said I need to turn this into CASH by demonstrating it at shows ... and doing what I can to convince people to hold live shows and not catalog shows!

Wow - thanks for the update. Sorry the party was a bust, but you still had fun!!

I can't wait to see the pictures!

You could always use the linens for a wedding or shower gift. Or sell them to someone who wants to finish a set if you didn't get 8 of them.

 

[KellyTheChef]

Congrats on all of your stuff Di!!

Can't wait to see your pictures!

 

[Kathy's_Kitchen]

Very cool! Congrats on all the stuff; sorry your Christmas in July was not so cool...

I'm so excited for you. Thanks, Rhonda for sharing your picture. I got a kick out of you
mentioning your promise to me. I remember that I was not so generous and did not make the same offer to you. You really did deserve to win. I thought of you tonight when I bought more cream cheese to be able to make another Cheese cake. I love using that pan, just because it reminds me of you and my 2006 NC trip.

Nope, just 1 set of 2 ... with the "cooking for 2 or more" book, I'm guessing they know I am single ....

OK, attempting the photo thing ...

You're so sweet! I'm so glad you like it! You deserved it - you were my good luck charm! Too bad I don't live close enough to you to get a piece of that cheese cake! I love cheese cake!

Great picture Di! Thanks for sharing!

[Intrepid_Chef]

I edited them to use the image tags. Dummy me.
