Hi,
I'm KL.
I live in Adelaide, South Australia. I've really enjoyed reading the posts on this wonderful forum. Such joy and humour is a great salve for the fact that I DO NOT HAVE A Thermomix ..... YET!!! I've been to two demonstrations already though.
I'm still trying to convince DH that the money spent will be paid back 10 fold in other ways!
Just thought I'd say HI and continue to dream!!!
Cheers,
:-\

Hi KL! Keep working on him, he'll come around eventually. It's expensive, you could buy a stove at the same price, but, unlike a power guzzling stove, it saves money and time. More importantly, you can prepare healthy foods at home instead of buying less than healthy options.

Hi KL, how painful it must be to read and see all these wonderful recipes and not have a TMX :'( :'( :'( Have you taken DH along to one of the demos - that usually works in your favour. Or perhaps having a demo in your own home might be the answer. We need to boost our Adelaide numbers so good luck with convincing DH that you really need one of these machines. Looking forward to the day when you tell us you have ordered one.
-
Welcome KL - hope you can convince DH - or win Tattslotto. Fingers crossed for both.
-
Or perhaps having a demo in your own home might be the answer.
This was indeed the answer for me. You will most likely find your DH less resistant once he has seen the TMX in action. If you do have a demo at home, discuss the menu with the consultant and plan flavour combinations he likes. Sounds devious but really just maximising opportunity ;) ;) ;D ;D
-
Or see if one of us lives close so he can see how often we use them :)
Hi welcome to the forums, I'm in Adelaide Hills.

Hi and welcome. Show your DH all the wonderful photos that Isi and Julie have posted (and others) then he will be convinced.
I sat down yesterday and worked out the cost of the bread I like (5 seed bread for me) and the washing powder and it is really amazing how much you save. We hadn't really worried too much about preservatives until we got our TMX and found we weren't having them. Now we find if we do have some preservatives we either can't sleep or become very itchy!!!
It's also great for smoothies and icecream and we are sending some hot weather over the Nullabor to you!

Thanks all for the warm welcome!!
-
Welcome KL. I'm at Redwood Park. Hope you don't have to wait tooooooo long.

Advised that my TMX should arrive in 5 working days......
Never thought I'd EVER say this but...... damn that public holiday on Tuesday!!!
(still grinning like the cheshire cat ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D )
-
Be patient KL, it will arrive. Enjoy tomorrow's holiday and get all your housework done over the next few days because you won't be doing much once the TMX arrives ;D ;D ;D
-
LOL Judy!!
I can see my addiction forming even now. Driving home from work is 'enjoyable' now as I day-dream about all the recipies I'd like to try in the TMX!!!
Best I start clearing some bench space too!!
:D ;)
-
YIPPPEEEEEE
I've just made sorbet!!!!! First TMX attempt.

Great work KL. Have a great weekend with your new toy!!! :)

So it arrived early KL - nice timing for the weekend. Looking forward to your next posting to see what else you have done.
-
LOL! Congrats! I hope your DH knows not to expect to see you outside of the kitchen for a while ;) :D :D
-
Congrats - now you can really have some fun
-
Wonderful news. I guess it's running hot making all these fantastic things.

The follow up 'first' TMX useage are....
cheese sauce,
red wine gravy (but I whoopsi'd with the vinegar a little)
then garlic / parsley dip and roasted capsicum dip for my little man's 1st birthday party.
Added kecap manis and some paprikca to the capsicum dip.... YUMMY!!!
Now I just need to figure out my menu so I can shop appropriately.....
-
Good work & good luck with the menu planning
