Title: Hello from a recent Sydney Transplant :)
Post by: Bethwood on July 12, 2012, 02:58:06 am: HI I'm Beth and I moved to Sydney about 6 months ago from Brisbane. I'm originally from Chicago and moved to Australia for what was supposed to be 2-3 yrs with my dh for work. We were in Canberra for 4 years before moving to Brisbane for 8 1/2 yrs and then to Sydney. I like Sydney but I'm really missing Brisbane!

I first heard about the Thermomix about 2 yrs ago when I was talking to a friend about a pressure cooker that I got for Mother's Day (I seem to ask for and get appliances for the different holidays :D ). I'd never heard of it before but a friend said they were all the rage in Perth. Fast forward to last winter when I friend got one for her birthday and I knew I wanted one for myself. I'd told my dh that if we had to move to Sydney he was buying me one since I surely would have a tiny kitchen and well, I ended up with both!

I'm really enjoying it and have used it to make all sorts of things and my dh and 2 girls are both starting to use it which is nice.

Post by: jakodai on July 12, 2012, 05:55:56 am: I feel weird welcoming people to the forum, because I still feel like such a newbie myself, but welcome anyway Beth! ;-)

I 've been to both Sydney & Brisbane, and I agree - I much prefer Brisbane. Especially seeing as I'm from Melbourne, the Brisbane weather is very enticing.

You'll love this forum, great recipes and great people!

I read your subject line in my unread messages and went straight to it to see which part of your body had been replaced :D :D Glad to read you only moved from state to state and all your bodily organs are still your own. :D
Thanks for joining us - have a great time on here with this friendly mob.

Post by: gertbysea on July 13, 2012, 03:59:44 am: Beth you must be near Peters of Kensington. That is one of our favourites here. It frequently gets a mention in the Shopping Thread.

Post by: cookie1 on July 14, 2012, 06:50:06 am: Welcome Beth. I was like Judy and DJ, I thought you had a body part transplanted. I was thinking how we could help you. I'm so glad it was only a shift. :D

Gert, I am very close to Peters of Kensington - I could walk there if I wanted to. It seems like every time I go past it's closed but I hope to make it there soon.

Beth - your guardian angels are looking out for you- keeping the doors closed on you!! When and if you go, make sure you leave cash, credit cards, chequebook etc. at home!! It's an absolute minefield!! ;D ;D I try to even avoid it online!!! ;D ;D

Seriously though, it's an absolutely fabulous store - I'm sure you could do all your personal, birthday, Christmas - and whatever - shopping there - and usually at excellent bargain prices. Let's know how you go . . . . . . !!
