-
hehe thanks jeff ;) not solicited by me lol (but appreciate every vote none the less!!! actually, i havne't even seen how many votes there are, i'm too scared in case no one votes for me lol)
-
With a lovely cake like that, how can you not win. It is very nice. I didn't ice it as we try to cut down on our sugar :P. I really love the strong flavour in it. DD said it had a 'gutsy' lemon flavour.
-
i cna't even try the other recipe as dh won't eat it (hates all fruit)
cookie, it is a nice cake isn't it, my kids love it.
-
Congratulations Karen for winning the Monthly Mouthful competition. Have fun choosing your book ;) ;)
-
did i win?? yippee!!!! how exciting!!
i wonder if i'm allowed to wait for the meat one? 8)
-
Tenina said she was only halfway through it so you might be waiting a long time :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) You've probably got all the rest so maybe you will have to wait though.
-
Congratulations Karen - great job.
-
Great going Karen!! 8)
-
Well done, Karen!
How do we find out what the category for the next month is??

From the website:
"Now in order to make the most of this Budget Busters booklet, we would like to run a little Round Up on here...a Round Up, in blog terms, is a collection of recipes, thoughts or ideas that are posted as they come in and all on a singular topic...SO, dear reader (s)! We are looking for fabulous tips, hints, recipes, ideas and ways to save more money using your Thermomix. If you have saved money with your TM up until now, we want to know how! If you have saved money using the very exciting Budget Busters Book, we want to know on what...you get the idea?
At the end of the Round Up, we will send the best 'tippee' (as voted by a completely biased Thermomix office panel!!) a beautiful box of organic fruits, vegetables and other goodies to the value of $100! Hows that for a saving?
So keep those Thermomixes humming away and send us your ideas. They will be edited and posted here over the next couple of weeks. We look forward to hearing from you at recipes@thermomix.com.au Don't be shy now!"
-
Ive just purchased the Budget Busters booklet, there are some nice recipes and lots of great money saving tips in there!
-
Im still waiting for my order to come! cant wait to see what is in Nico's booklet either.
-
Riv Mum, Nico's booklet is really good, I can recommend lots out of there.
I sort of made the Caramel Chomeur from the Thermomix site with lots of alterations and it was great. I used water instead of milk for the sauce, reducing the brown sugar to 180g and left the butter out. Then when I was making the batter I added 1/2 cup sultanas at the end of the mixing and gave it reverse for 5 seconds on speed 2. This made it into a brown sugar pudding we had as kids. I guess I could email Tenina the changes I made so there will be 2 recipes for one. Do you think that would be ok?
-
Nice going Cookie1. I've noted your changes on my print-out so that I have 2 for the price of 1 recipes ;D ;D I don't know where I was when our mums were making this type of dessert - maybe my Mum didn't do those sorts of things :-)) :-)) :-))
-
i'm sure i read a curry recipe calling for it recently but no idea where! my local F&V sells it sometimes too :)
-
ooops wrong thread LOL

ooops wrong thread LOL
You had me confused Karen :D :D :D I thought I was losing it again ;) ;) ;)
-
i'd hit the back button to go back to a thread but obviously hit it too many times (then oculdn't be bothered trying to find it again lol)
-
Gee, I thought I'd had another seniors moment!
Judy, I grew up on a farm and in the 50's and 60's it was very hard physical work for Dad, (I still don't know how he managed to carry a full bag of wheat or superphosphate on his shoulders-and do it many, many times in a day). As a result Mum felt he always needed good substantial food so we had sweets every night of the week. Most of the dishes were simple things like the Brown sugar pudding or fruit sponges, rice pudding or bread and butter pudding. Mum loved cooking and we were never without home baked goodies. The thrill of our life was to have bought jam or biscuits.
I can imagine if Mum was still round she would love a TMX. In fact it would have made her life much easier as she had Parkinson's. I've never thought about it before but the TMX would indeed be wonderful for people with disabilities. Another good reason to have one.
Here I cease the reminicsing.(sorry can't spell it)
-
My mum also grew up on a farm on Yorke Peninsula Cookie1, the youngest of 14. However, she wasn't your typical country cook like most are and apart from rice and bread and butter puddings, she was a dreadful scone maker (so was I until I got the TMX) and never made cakes or cookies either. Makes you wonder about the weights our grandparents carried when you compare that with today and workplace safety measures which restrict the amount they can lift. DH was a butcher and used to carry huge weights, of course this became impossible once he got MS and had to retire. At times I have to physically lift him yet, in hospitals or with the distric nurses, they just stand there and don't know how to go about it as they are not allowed to do lifting. He is only a little fellow thank goodness and so far my back is holding up.

JD - found the info on the competition for this month. It is seasonal ingredients. This was at the bottom of the newsletter thar came out about the new TMX kitchen:
I'm afraid Monthly Mouthful took a back seat in July, so for all you would be recipe developers out there, we're back and interested in your take on seasonal ingredients. Send us your best tested recipe using your favorite seasonal fruit or vegetables and I will test, eliminate and put up the best two recipes for your perusal. The winner by vote off will get the Thermomix recipe book of their choice, so warm up your TM engines and send your recipes to recipes@thermomix.com.au before Friday August 14th.
Thought that it closed next week - I have a number of recipes that I had thought of sending - turnip souffles, sweet potato mash, croissants with beetroot, chocolate and walnut stuffing, banana and marscapone ice-cream, ...
I sent in some, but lots of other ideas - sorry, we need to make sure Tenina has lots of recipes. Failed her this month.
Anyone with seasonal ingredient recipes please get them to Tenina.
-
No time Thermomixer - closes tomorrow :o :o :o Thanks for posting this information anyway. I know why you didn't let us know sooner - you want to win the competition yourself ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Maybe let us city people know at the beginning of every month what the seasonal produce is so we can reap the harvest and sow the recipes :D
-
yeah i don't even have a clue what's seasonal :-)) :-\

They ran out of books to give me - still owe me for the chicken chermoula. I said I'd wait for the new rewrite of the EDC.
What I want is to have other people contribute - coz I was told NOBODY would contribute and why should they bother having a Forum for users? :-)) :-)) :-)) - yeah, that's partly why I make sure we use this and contribute to Tenina's efforts.
-

I get a magazine monthly that has a list of seasonal vegies & fruit Karen and would post it but it is too late for this comp. Got the latest edition yesterday which lists Septembers seasonal produce. I'll give you that if you would like it but it won't be until later tonight.

They have been proven wrong about a forum not being used Thermomixer and they'd probably get more recipes if they posted about competitions on this forum too.

Normally I post about the competition:

Think that I missed this one with all the talk about the opening of the TMX kitchen !!
Think that Tenina was probably pre-occupied with the opening of the kitchen.
Nobody seems to comment on the blog either - we need people to comment even if they are not voting. All the help we can give to keep Tenina enthusiastic - please.
-
So you do, my apologies Thermomixer. What would we do without you. :-* :-*
-
i definitely read it, and i save the posts in my blog reader! i just rarely comment
-
I wonder if we emailed Tenina and asked really nicely if she would grant us all an extension until Monday. Just this once . . . . . .
-
I'm sure she would -unless she has been inundated with recipes already :o :o :o
Worth trying. - I'll volunteer.
PS - have sent an email.
-
Thanks Thermomixer - I was hoping that you would volunteer. I've just tipped half a tray of unset salted caramel maply icecream into my full chest freezer, so I'm not in the right frame of mind to do much today!!! :'(
-
THANKS TENINA - get recipes in by Monday AT THE LATEST !!!!!
quote from Tenina
" Yes, Monday works for me!! I have been snowed under as usual, and guess what?? Coming to be at Nicos!! YAY.
Leaving next Thursday for Sydney Gluten Free, and then on to Melb…so Monday really is the last possibility! "
So, get mixing and send those recipes in - bit like Masterchef - you have 2 extra days - jump to it!!!
-

ROFL - mental picture of Chelsea's family after dinner tonight! ;D ;D Heads down and bums up, tongues stuck to everything :D

I don't know if I was more crabby about the mess or the beautiful potential icecream that was wasted ;).
Have made a mental note to slow down!!!!
-

Well done Chelsea & Thermomixer (again). Beetroot and chocolate - how many of us would have tasted that combination. What you get up to when you have some spare time - I'd just like to know how you find so much spare time ??? ??? ??? ???
Both recipes look great - good luck to both of you.
-
Beetroot and chocolate cakes are common ?, wel maybe not that common, but it wasn't my idea - just stole it. ;) ;)
-
Oh that's exciting!!! I didn't know my recipe made the final. Thanks for posting Thermomixer!
Chelsea :)

Congratulations you two! That's fantastic. Good luck to both of you :-* :-*

Hi all - Tenina needs more people to vote http://thermorecipes.blogspot.com/2009/08/seasonal-monthly-mouthful.html (http://thermorecipes.blogspot.com/2009/08/seasonal-monthly-mouthful.html) and especially for the citrus tart - it tastes great.
-
You are a sweetie Thermomixer :-* :-* :-*
I am making your dish on Sunday and am almost certainly going to vote for your pastries!!! Chocolate and I have been friends for a long time now.
-
sorry but they are too hard to convert to gluten free LOL maybe someone can send me a sample of each? ;D
-
Just make the filling for the citrus tart and cook it in a bain-marie. It tastes great.
-
I don't like chocolate !!!!!! :-)) :-)) I sent in heaps of recipes that I would have preferred to eat.
