Tetravus and I used to sell Pampered Chef. It was fun. Some of the recipes are pretty good, if you like crescent rolls and cream cheese. xd

That's the reason why I haven't really tried them; they all seem to use super-processed foods. We've been trying to get away from that. sweatdrop

I like some of their stuff, but I absolutely hate the sell from home stuff. xd I got like practically harassed by a Mary Kay lady and this Shaklee uber organic thing. I wish some of the companies would change their policies on that stuff and not encourage it.
PC though is one of the better ones. I see the stuff for cheap on ebay sometimes.

The recipe went like this:
chop up apricots and mix them with craisins. almond slices , a touch of flour to hold it together and white choc chips.
Take two of those pillsbury french bread rolls (comes in a can like biscuits) lay them on a cookie sheet (or one of your handy dandy pampered chef baking stones xp Take a knife and slit down the center (not all the way through) Make the cut space bigger (the lady used her handy dandy PC roller just a tad) and put in some of the filling. Push the sides back together. Do this for both rolls of bread. Put the bread on the "cut and patched" side down and kinda intertwine the two rolls. Beat an egg white and brush it on.. sprinkle almonds on the top, cut a few slits in the bread for heat to escape.. bake for like (25 mins or so, I think it was?)
Dust with powdered sugar and eat.
It was good but I want to make it with apples and apple pie spice or something like that..
mmmmmmmmmm
This one woman at this party was going on about how she hates opening biscuits because of the "pop" and makes her husband open them for her. MY sister was like "yeah.. I make my fiance do that too"
pfft.... My husband would be like.. "are your hands broken?" xd

The most fun thing I've done with Pampered Chef is hosting a PC wedding shower for my sister and her fiance, now husband. They made up a wishlist and people could purchase stuff for them at the shower. We had tons of food, part made by me and part made by the consultant. Then we played game where the guys competed with the girls (It was a couples' shower.) in a cake decorating contest. That was hilarious. We had a whole bunch of stuff out for them to use to decorate the cakes, including Mr. Potato Head pieces and a Barbie.

My mom can't stand the cans popping either, that and balloons, she won't blow them up because she's teriffed they will pop in her face.
Ritza that cake decorating sounds like it be a hoot.

Well, my sister is also getting married in May and my mom was telling her she should register with PC xp
We'll see.
I swear.. I feel sorry for her fiance'. She makes him do everything. He is so "whipped" but he appears not to mind..whatever floats his boat, I suppose.

Eh, my sister sometimes has pampered chef parties. That stuff is a little too pricey for me. I dont' really make good enough money to just blow on stuff like that. I was gonna have a tupperware party sometime in the last two months. everytime it was all set to go; something would come up to postpone it. rolleyes

I cook with the stones, I love the cooking stones. They are great for baking things. I would usually get suckered into going to a friends party, and they would beg me to have a party. I have not had a party in a long time.
Some of the Recipies are good... I pretty much stick to just using their products to make things my way.
I also do not like ballons, I hate when the store gives them to my kids. Cause the whole way home, I am waiting for them to break, and scare me while driving. gonk

I swear.. I'm so crabby today.
It started off with an odd temp this moring. After adding it to my fertility chart deal, it confuses me. I thought I had ovulated.. guess not. Grr...
Then 5 hours of mindless call taking for work.. It rained all day and yesterday. Today the rain is so hard, it's almost horizontal and it's starting to seep in under the door and that's not good for my new hardwood-looking laminate floors eek
This week has been @_@
Saturday I have a craft show to sell my candles at. so this week is *supposed* to be me getting ready/making candles, etc etc. Mom tells me on Thursday (this past week) that I was supposed to make stuff for her craft fair at work. She's the head of senior services/meals on wheels (so it's for a good cause). She wanted me to cross stitch 2 things she bought for herself to do, but got fed up/bored with it and then she wants me to knit crap too crying
I found a fast drop stitch pattern and whipped off 3 scarves and then got one of the cross stitch things done. Now I realize "oh crap, I have no christmas candle scents done!" So now I am making candles and I run out of wax .. oh crap! I managed to get a box and a half of the holiday scents with new wax coming Monday but that doesn't help me for saturday.
Then I get in my email a note from the obnoxious wife of the Chamber of Commerce president telling me that I need to make the christmas dinner invitations AND print them. She only needs them BEFORE Friday... THIS Friday. What the hell? I barely have ink, I was planning on getting that after a few people pick up and pay for their candle orders and now Ihave to buy ink NOW and use it to print BS for chamber? I hate the chamber. They don't talk to me when I go to meetings and they obviously don't like me much but of course they care about me when they want something.
300 days out of the year, nobody cares what I am doing but over the year, about 65 days, people care about me just because they want something. This blows.

How can they require that of you Sasha? Are you on the board or secretary or something?
Also, Good news your Laminate has the highest chance of not getting ruined if water is on it. It's the best for that. My husband doesn't recommend any other hardwood materials except for Laminate in like bathrooms because of all the water and moisture in there.
But weather stripping = cheap and easy to install too so that's one less thing that's a PITA for you.

Well, as far as chamber goes, I'm a board member. I have not really been going though. Our chamber is small and weird. I always wondered why they were a decent number of members but only 10 or so people attended the meetings. (This is including the "elected officials"). I know why now. If these other people are anything like me, they find the board/chamber basically ineffective. It's like a little "group" and I guess if you don't fit in, then they could care less. Wow, that sounds so immature, like high school but it really does feel that way. I was going to just pay my dues and take an inactive role like most of the other members but I'm on the board, so I have to least pretend to care for another year.
I only got onto the board because there was nobody else that would do it.

Just wanted to say: My son can suck his thumb! Huzzah! He's been trying to figure out how to do it for a week or so now and he's finally got it to the point where if he's aiming a finger for his mouth he gets it! heart
