Yesterday (3/8/10)

Yesterday I had the priviledge and pleasure to go to Quorn House to be filmed cooking a recipe with Dean Simpole-Clarke. I'd submitted a recipe for a cooking competition and I won. whooo hooo!

Anyway at 07:00 my hubby and I set off for Quorn and arrived at about 09:30 - the same time as Rosemary! We met her in the car park - what a really friendly lady she is - so lovely and 'down-to-earth'! Anyway went inside to see a welcome to Quorn House screen with my name on it! :). Signed in and met the RC online slimming club, customer services lady (Pauline). Rosemary came to see me again and gave me a signed copy of her Step by Step cookbook! Pauline then showed me around Quorn House and told me a little about each room and its function, then we went over to the RosemaryConley.tv studio to meet the team and Dean!

I was made up and given a pink apron to wear then onto the studio where Dean was busy cutting up the pork ready for my recipe to be cooked! Onto the exciting part - actually being filmed cooking. Into Rosemary's electric wok to cook and nothing was happening - I was stirring this pork and it wasn't browning - Dean then said - it would help if it was plugged in - he was so calm about it all and we carried on! He then asked me a few things about the online slimming club and if I liked the recipe section of the TV site etc etc. It was such a fun time and everyone was brilliant. I asked Dean if he would also sign my cookery book, then I watched Dean cooking another recipe, in the 'control room' - so that's how it's done... :) I left with a T-Shirt and a smile!

Had some lunch then and chatted to Pauline for ages before I was picked up! I did ask for a Business Pack which is given out to people who are interested in becoming franchisees! Something to pray about and ponder on as it seems like a fantastic organisation to work for!

I loved every minute of my day and if any of the team are reading this - a massive

to each and everyone! (I'm not so hyper now :) )
