Well that was funny…
I had a lovely little gift for Brady’s fifth grade teacher and it was wrapped so pretty and nice.
As he started to get ready to go to school, though, his hands were full with other things and so I went into the pantry and grabbed the first bag I came to that had handles on it so he could just hook the present over his arm.
I didn’t think anything about the bag until I arrived later on for the class party and saw all of the pretty gift bags sitting on the teacher’s desk. Now keep in mind that at his school I’m often referred to as “The Cookbook Lady”. A lot of folks know what I do and that I just came off this book tour preaching the value of sitting down and having homecooked meals with your family. With all of this in mind, it was all I could do not to bust out laughing at the sight of my “gift bag” sitting amidst all of the others on her desk, only instead of mine being a Christmas print, it was a P.F. Changs takeout!
Well that was funny!

Even the cookbook lady needs a night off every once in a while…and Pf Chang’s I’d the place to go! Yum! But, definitely funny.
Last year I sent gifts in a Logan’s Roadhouse bag!
So glad to hear I am not alone. ~giggles~
At least you are able to laugh at it!
Very funny, glad you guys are having a happy Christmas season.
Too funny!
Chicken the chinese chicken.. you have?? heheheee At least yours is uniquely hilarious!!
Busted!
Oh Christy,Christy, CHRISTY!!! Thanks for letting us laugh with you! At least it wasn’t a bag from a fast-food place, but some place with CLASS!!! We haven’t been to P.F. Changs yet. Every time we drive by the one in Asheville, we think of you and Ricky! Maybe the next time you’re in this neck of the woods we’ll take you there! BTW…how’s your pantry looking?!! I’m thinin’ it still must be in pretty good order for you to reach in and find something so quickly!! Thanks for letting us laugh with you! Just another reason why your SP Family loves ya!!
That was funny! Hey, at least PF Chang’s is good! I love them because I have celiac and they have a huge gluten-free menu!
Just made your daddy’s coconut cake for some guests who are coming for dinner tomorrow! I will probably be on your site all day today and tomorrow, getting ready LOL.
Teehee…waste not want not!!!! We have all been in your shoes…Merry Christmas xoxox
Hahaha! That is funny. A woman who writes an amazingly delicious cookbook (that I can’t stop drooling over) surely deserves a little take out every once in a while
They have to know your human to and like someone else to cook every once in a while.
Girl, it’ll end up being the one that teacher remembers…. they’ll think “PFChangs????” and will be thrilled with what’s inside.
Brilliant!
HAHA that is pretty funny, leave it to a boy to not bother with taking it out so that everyone can see all your hard work on that pretty wrapping.
BTW my dad was able to find your book the other day and picked up a copy as a present on my prompting. (of course in man style even though I had emailed him the name, he still had to call me from the bookstore for the name again and had a woman find it and hand it to him:) ) I am also hoping it shows up under my Christmas tree!
I hope it does too Joy!! Merry Christmas!
Only you Christy, I love it. lol
