We are continuing our wonderful relationship with Williams-Sonoma this year at even more stores! I have been working at Lenox Square, Phipps Plaza and the Mall of Georgia so far this year and I love to share my stories...

Last Saturday was a zoo at William-Sonoma at Lenox. We served 325 to 350 people (I lost count). We made riced potatoes (at William-Sonoma you do not mash - using their ricer tool) with Turkey Gravy (one part gravy base and one part whole Mayfield milk). I sampled Nutrish and used half and half, cottage cheese and sour cream in the potatoes. We also made Roasted Garlic Riced Potatoes. So many people thought the potatoes and gravy was ice cream with carmel sauce. One man asked me where's the Moose Tracks, I'll put it on my potatoes.

Monday was our first day at the Mall of Georgia. We served 75 people Foccachia Bread Stuffing with Turkey Gravy (using our milk, they did ask that I bring heavy cream as they thought it made a better gravy). The best part (well at least I thought so) is we put the stuffing in the crock pot which frees up the oven for all the other hundred things you need to make for Thanksgiving. If you want more details I will be glad to fill you in just leave me a comment.

I sampled NuTrish and many people said they had not heard of it. It went over very well. They took coupons and the NuTrish Pamphlet. We also had a lot of interest in the Visitor Center.

Now this is the best part - The Pumpkin Pie!!!!! To die for and I do not even like pumpkin pie.Sooooo easy. Pumpkin butter (from Williams-Sonoma), 3 eggs and 3/4 cup Mayfield whipping cream. Mix and put in a ready made graham crust and bake 350 for 30 to 45 mins. I tell you it is a must for your Thanksgiving Dinner. Remember to put extra whipping cream on top to decorate.

It was so nice to have a little more time(quality) with the customers and they enjoyed all the treats so I have now decided we should be called the Yummy Mommies.

Until next time. Pamela Burdell
