    What were the dishes you served @rrp ? Tell us more please 
    It was just going to be 4 demos and all were to be the same dish. The owner thought shoppers would be coming and going so there wasn't a need to have 4 different dishes. Here's the list of the ingredients. The recipe was from Richard in FL and included a dark sauce used for finishing that was FABULOUS***! Thanks RICHARD!!!

    *** at least I thought it was!

    Nice Ron. Same concept menu board I'll be using if I'm invited to do demos again this year. Except I went OG chalkboard with colored caulk of course :smiley:

    4 hrs demo. How long for prep?  How long were you actually there? And cleanup. 
    It's not as easy as some may think.

    WHAT? You don't like using a dry board and get nearly finished and see you misspelled something or want to highlight something only to erase half the board with your palm or breath or paper laid on it to prevent easer which it doesn't? That final board was my third attempt!   ;)

    Thanks Tim! Yes - as it turned out the majority there today were my neighbors who I invited to stop by. Seeing that we are all retired and this being the Illinois winter we don't get out and chat in the yards so yes it was still fun!

    It was - and I cut all of the veggies in half or thirds. To me a whole snow pea pod is huge, and I don't care for the size of common water chestnuts nor bamboo shoots. I even sliced the carrots thin and then still cut each in half. Wish I would have taken a picture.

    No - it was only to be 2 hours - 11 to 1. And as I spelled out there were to be 4 demos 30 minutes apart. As it turned out my wife and s-i-l were the only ones there except for the 3 store staff so I held off until 12:00 and after that I only fixed one my batch about 12:50. As far as prep time? most of Friday! and I was there at the store from 10 to 1:45 so 3 hr 45 min and I'm only charging for 2 hours "demo time" plus food costs at documented actual costs. 

    You are absolutely correct when you said: It's not as easy as some may think. Neither demos nor classes are money makers on an hourly basis - just a love of showing folks "how to".

    My favorite people are the negative ninnys...you know the folks that look at the egg as a glorified ceramic flower pot and think their gasser kills. And then...they try the food...once, twice and back again at the next demo to pick up their new egg. :wink: 
    It's fun.
