UPDATE! I received an e-mail today from Tony . . . we're going to do the segment on May 6th. Oh, and it's going to be LIVE

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd use another term, but it'd be *poofed!*

Tony told me not to worry . . . we'll "practice" a bit before-hand and he'll lead me through it by asking questions, etc.

He's going to stop in our store on May 2 or 3 so we can go over a bit of Dutch oven cooking to figure out what we'll all need to do on that Tuesday. He said he has a nice fire pit in the backyard, so we'll use that with my tripod to show the cooking.

As we only have about three & a half minutes, we need to be quick. He said we can cut that into two segments if I want, which I think will work best.

I'm planning on a simple cobbler (I'll make one earlier in the day to show the "finished" cobbler and have everything ready to show how to make one (quick & easy), and be able to spend a short bit of time on using charcoal for cooking the cobbler.

For the second segment, I'm thinking an easy BBQ chicken recipe . . . 1 cut up chicken, a bottle of BBQ sauce and a can of coke. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and it's falling off the bone delicious.

With each of those recipes, we can very quickly talk about how easy they are to make, and yet still have time to talk about the charcoals needed AND show how easy it is to do in your backyard fire pit.

I just have to obtain another Dutch oven, because I only have three and I think I know just the place to get one . . .

My heart is palpitating just at the thought of being LIVE! OMG!

YOUR thoughts? Any suggestions? I'm definitely going to have to bone up on my B-Complex to help with stress prior to this show! Maybe a tranquilizer is in order, too! LOL (just kidding, folks!)

PS, we'll be taping it so that I can upload it to Youtube and ya'll can watch me stutter and stammer and sweat my way through this!
