Scarlett Willow: Party Fever
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2010/06/party-fever.html
Tuesday, 15 June 2010. As much as I love to entertain, I never demand to be centre of attention. But for one night of the year, I am Queen. I have an annual Midsummer Night’s Dream party and I transform myself in Titania, my garden into the enchanted forest, and my husband into a BBQ maniac. I felt inspired by Marrakech this year, and thought I’d go more ‘I Dream of Jeannie’. I swathed low tables with saris in saffron and marigold and set one of my large Mabel storm lanterns. J was doing his bit by the B...

Scarlett Willow: July 2010
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 July 2010. Turning Back The Years. Her phrases are well worn: ‘A place for everything, and everything in its place.’. And nearly 150 years later she can still pinpoint the weaknesses of a modern day urban hostess like myself:. 8216;Hospitality is a most excellent virtue; but care must be taken that the love of company, for its own sake, does not become a prevailing passion…’. Then the men swilled port, smoked cigars and talked about…what? Not a clue. I can only speculate on what took plac...

Scarlett Willow: March 2010
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 22 March 2010. Chocolate is the Answer. We arrived on the red carpet and the screams were earsplitting. Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston were wrapped around each other for the frenzied delight of the photographers. I considered nudging my friend into the background, so that her ex might see a paper in the morning and choke on his coffee - she was luminescent and he’d lost her (aka the Kate Middleton strategy.). As the lights rose, her face fell. Would there be a happy ending for her? We decided...

Scarlett Willow: December 2009
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 December 2009. An aforementioned Pixie got me hooked on Oskia this year ( www.oskia.com. Niacinimide is in their Bedtime Beauty Boost, which is now a firm favourite of mine. It feeds my skin overnight with 11 beauty boost ‘actives’, which gives me a gorgeous dewy glow in the morning (Pixie says it’s like one of our midnight feasts of old, minus the mini-Mars bars and Wotsits.). Zinc is the key ingredient and Thomasina recommends eating oysters, famed for their aphrodisiac effect. I have so...

Scarlett Willow: August 2010
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 August 2010. An English(wo)man in New York. I heart New York! Every once in a while I like to take a bite out of the Big Apple and stay up late in the city that never sleeps. J had a business trip two weeks ago, and I thought I’d better hold his hand on that awfully long journey across the Atlantic…. So, after cranking up the speed a gear, I also ever so slightly exaggerate my English – hello Dahling! 8211; and find myself rollicking along with the best of them. (What’s funny is t...When yo...

Scarlett Willow: November 2010
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 November 2010. I couldn't resist trying this. My attempts at making November's Flavour of the Month Chocolate Torte and Chestnut torte went well, despite using every bowl I had in the kitchen. The outcome was delicious and went well with vanilla ice cream, and went down very well with everyone in the office! Posted by MACOM Medical. Tuesday, 2 November 2010. They actually taste much nicer than they look, and good for scaring off unwanted trick or treaters by poking it through the letterbox!

Scarlett Willow: April 2010
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 12 April 2010. SEAFOOD and EAT IT…. After closing a spectacular deal last Monday, my husband J decided to celebrate. Not by whisking me off to a minute Maldivian island – oh no, no, no. He came home to announce that the last two months of anxious breath holding were over, that the deal was in the bag - and that he’d invited his CEO to dinner…. I imagine much in The Boss’s life is monogrammed. Was there time to personalize some linen napkins. Would he prefer duck egg blue or emerald green? My menu...

Scarlett Willow: Come Dine With Me?!
http://scarlettwillow.blogspot.com/2010/05/come-dine-with-me.html
Monday, 10 May 2010. Come Dine With Me? 8216;Hear no evil, Speak no evil….and you’ll never be invited to a party’ : the wise words of Oscar Wilde. And they’ve helped me reach a decision. I’ve been grappling with my moral conscience over whether to tell you about the disastrous dinner party I was recently invited to. But I think some good might come of this evil…. 8216;I’m sorry! When I got home that night, I started thinking about all the dinner party disasters from the past that I have either created or...
