Curry night!

Had a lovely show last night with Karen in her GORGEOUS new kitchen that was born to be loaded with lots of lovely Pampered Chef products especially given as it matched all my fab cranberry items!

We cooked a delicious passanda which went down really well and I made it in my brand new taupe Rectangular Baker which I got free just for doing my job!
