I don't know how many of you saw this, but I had a question or two about it. So my question(s): (1) I am not a Facebook member, nor do I ever intend to be, but would I be able to view this Online Live Event? It's a "Public Event". Since I can see PC's FB page, I'm hoping I can watch the Live...

I pulled out a ton of recipe cards and will be using these as business cards. I have two labels, one is obviously for my contact info, the other is the advertisement! Please feel free to use it, if you wish. You will need MicroSoft Publisher to edit it or just use the idea from the .pdf to...

I met a jewerly lady yesterday and she was really excited about meeting someone who sells PC. Well, she said that she didn't have time for a cooking show so a catalog show might be better. Then a little later she asked if I do a presentation to teach them how to cook something. I told her yes so...

I'm debating buying a stone loaf pan, because I've recently started cooking a lot of bread (like regular wheat bread). I use a metal loaf pan now, and I think the bread turns out well. I'm curious just how much of a difference there would be with that compared to a stone one. Has anyone...

I see many people say that they don't do "free" cooking shows. I've been doing free shows because I want to be in control of the groceries being purchased and I feel like the host is doing me a favor by having the show and she is also buying other snacks... and maybe I need to change that...
