Your guests are arriving in 15 minutes.

15 minutes!? Yikes!!

Either the feeling of anticipation or the feeling of regret has just hit you in the belly.

Win a Pampered Chef garlic press
I’m giving away one of my favorite kitchen tools, if you’d share with me your first approach to your guests when you greet them at the front door?!

I’ve always loved my Pampered Chef garlic press.  It’s so easy to use, because you don’t peel the garlic!  It makes cooking a breeze and there’s nothing like the aroma of fresh garlic.  Sweet and savory.

Also, just in time for backyard barbecuing
(Yes, my garlic press is well-used!  And did you know I once sold PC? I had over 160 kitchen shows!)

Comment to win – it’s easy
Would you kindly share with me your front door feelings when your guests arrive?  Feel free to elaborate, if you have the time.

 
1. You are happy to see your guests.
2. You are happy to see them, but you are stressed out.
3. Your kids behavior was more than you desired that day.
4.  The food you’ve cooked was messed up and it put you in a slump.
5. Your husband coming home late from work (later than the guests!) didn’t help at all.
6. You are resentful and angry.
