Cooking for ten and the QVC Christmas party

Well it's been a busy old week and, having fully recovered, I've been dividing my time between home and QVC Towers in preparation for Christmas. 

The silicone bakeware TSV came in handy when I had to make a chocolate cake at short notice and also Sunday lunch for 10! My cake came out of the sandwich 'tins' without a hitch even though it was the first time I'd used them.

I also did roast gammon with a honey and mustard glaze, and the glaze didn't burn or turn to toffee as it has done when I've used a metal roasting dish! So not only was I spared expensive dental bills but the washing-up was a treat! 

I also made it to the annual QVC Christmas party which was fab! It's always really nice to meet up with the hundreds of other people who work behind the scenes and who I rarely get to see. Everyone looked gorgeous: a sparkling sea of satin, tafetta, velvet and lurex - and that was just the men!! 

I managed to find a lovely dress this year, wore my Honora Pearls necklace, a Diamonique watch and ring, and my fab two-tone gold sparkly bracelet which was a TSV years ago. I felt very glam!
