Title: New to forum
Post by: ruth on May 03, 2010, 03:05:11 pm

Hi everyone

I have had my TM for 5 months now but I only just worked how easy it was to join the forum.

I live in Perth, Australia, and I have a 3 year old and a 8 month old and I am loving the thermomix. I am interested in organic food and wholefood cooking, and trying to do that without spending forever in the kitchen.

 I find that I still spend just as much time in the kitchen as before but I am making a lot more, and more from scratch.  I was amazed that I could make my own ice-cream, jam, mayo etc with a young baby, especially as I am pretty slow in the kitchen and have never made those things before. 

My momentum has slowed a bit on these 'extras' so hopefully the forum will inspire me again (although my slowing down is perhaps more due to the 8 month old learning to crawl and constantly getting up to mischief in the kitchen - at least he has stopped crying every time I turn the TM on).

I have some questions on yoghurt and juicing which I will ask you more experienced users once I get settled in.

Look forward to chatting with you all
Ruth

Hi Ruth and welcome! I remember when I first got my TMX, I made loads of things from scratch, so much so that I burned myself out and stopped making very much at all.

After a while I came back to it and am now not using any bought biscuits, bread, mayo, salad dressing, yoghurt, jams, pickles, seasoning mixes, packet soups, ready made pasta sauces etc.

So, give it some time and just make what you can and don't stress about it. This forum is definitely inspirational!!

Welcome Ruth. So glad you joined the forum. You will find plenty of inspiration here and many extremely knowledgeable people to help with any questions.
Keep a lookout on this forum for a Perth get together - there was one a few weeks ago but there will be more soonish- hope to see you there

Hi Ruth, welcome to the forum.  Burnout in the kitchen is quite common but as the girls have said, you will come back to it.  This forum has a way of inspiring us to try all sorts of things but with a young baby, we all understand your time is limited.  So glad to hear bub has stopped crying when you turn the TMX on  :D :D  My DH hates noise so I am very surprised mine has survived this long without being banished to the shed when being used but I do have to warn him when I am about to blitz things and generally shut the kitchen doors to reduce the impact.

Welcome Ruth,  I have had my TMX a little longer than you,  but without the' bub 'factor.   We want to try everything when we first get it.  Soon you will settle down and use it for the things that will make life easier.  Have fun with all your babies ;D ;D
