I have started a blog, mostly about this and that, my early history, my favorite foods, my collecting mania and even a section about the Thermomix, although I have not posted much about it to date. I do have several TMX segments written and in draft form and ready to publish when I get around to uploading the accompanying photos.
Some of the pages and posts I have published so far are things that I have done in the past but people keep asking about them - particularly the recipes, that I'm including them so everything will (eventually) be in one place.
I have come late to the blogosphere because for so long I thought I really didn't have all that much to say but friends and relatives have convinced me that my words may have worth to some readers.
And so, here it is: Books, Cooks, Gadgets and Gardening (http://www.asenjigalblogs.com/)

I for one will certainly be visiting your new blog Andie - having visitors today so do not dare look at this very minute or they may not get anything to eat for lunch :D :D You friends are right, you have had an interesting and full life and have so much information to share with others. Glad to see you finally succumbed.

You are a very smart lady andiesenji, and your love of appliances, cooking, reading, gardening and modern technology have given you a lot of valuable knowledge to pass on to people.
My jaw dropped when I saw all those whisks. I threw mine out many years ago as it took up so much room in the drawer and would often get tangled up with other things. I am happy enough with just a fork :D

How wonderful. I will be a follower for sure.

Great work. I enjoyed my quick look and will be back for a much long visit.

Well done Andie. It is a lovely idea to put it all together.

That's great Andie! Love all that antique cookware... I recognize some of those things from my grandmother's kitchen. She lives in Texas, and always collected antique kitchen stuff, as well as linens, dolls, etc. I remember her potato masher, which is the same as in one of your photos. I wish I could show her the Thermomix - she'd be blown away!! She said that whenever she reads my blog she has to go have a lay down because it makes her so tired! I told her I'm sure she worked a lot harder in the kitchen than I do - Thermy does the hard work for me! ;D

Great blog Andie! I enjoyed the photos of the cookware and your garden. I'll need some more time to do a thorough read.
-
Great work andiegal - love seeing all those gadgets, gem scone irons,... memories.
Good review of the TM31 and also agree about Eat Your Books. I have joined but have only about 100 books on so far.
Great to see picks of the garden etc :-* :-* :-* :-*

Andi, BEAUTIFUL.

Well done Andie, looking forward to reading more stories on your blog.
-
I liked your blog Andie- I love your collection of whisks and I personally would love to have some more copper pots and pans :) although your collection is quite extensive compared to my capabilities :-))
-
What a nice blog Andie!
-
Thank you so much.
I would also like some constructive criticism, if you see something that doesn't read quite right. Or if there is content on which you would like me to expand - that is, after I have added some more content to make it feasible.
I'm putting together a bunch of my own and family recipes that are just a bit different than others on the net - at least different from the ones I have seen. Some are really old recipes that I have brought up to date with modern measurement (but not yet metric so that is a factor I have to work into my tasks).
I also have to sort through thousands of photos. Just in IPhoto I have 7,643 photos. I have more in older files from earlier macs, some are very old photos that I have scanned and converted to Photoshop and JPEG. I thought when I started this I would be spending a couple of hours a day on the blog. Now it looks as if that is just the beginning and it's going to take a lot more time, until I get it fully operational.
I still haven't figured out how to put in a "subscribe" button. I've uploaded some plugins but when activated they don't show up on the page and the host can't figure out why either. Odd things happen out there in the ether.

Enjoyed reading your blog Andie and will forward to the future installments.

Very interesting Andie. Well done
