;D So so so so happy right now!
It's almost a year to the day that I had a demo and I've FINALLY convinced and bugged DH enough to buy a TMX. YIPPEEE!!!! I am going to Perth tomorrow and picking it up in the afternoon. I am SO excited! Happy dance happy dance! YAY!!!
I'll be able to cook up a storm at my brother's place. :)
No doubt I'll BB next week with LOADS of questions!
-
Aaahhh yes, I remember that day well...HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!! You go girl I am excited for you. Life is about to change for the better for you all...ENJOY ;D ;D ;D
-
Well done - have fun
-
That is exciting news. Keep us informed of all the things you cook.
-
WDYT I should cook first? Good ol' sorbet? :D The kids would love it.
I'll be at my brother's house so I am not sure what I'll have access to. Think I might take some staples down with me just so I can do some cooking there. LOL!
My poor hubby doesn't know what he's gotten himself into. I'd been bugging him the last two days about it when he finally said, "If I get you one, will you shut up about it??!!" I took that as a loud and clear YES so I rang my consultant first thing and had the paperwork filled out and gone straight away. Haven't told DH yet... Hee hee...
I pick it up from head office tomorrow after lunch. Shall be interesting because I have to drive 5 hours first with our two kids and do some other shopping as well. Hopefully the toerags will be ok by the time we stop for it.
-
wow! you deserve it, your DH deserves it, and the kids do too. price will be forgotten once that food production line gets cranked up. happy cooking ;D
-
the_vermins - there are some threads on here with suggestions for first up efforts. Will have to hunt the links.
-
CONGRATULATIONS ;D ;D ;D
It will take you all of about 10 minutes to pick it up if they aren't busy, so the kids should be fine. Bribe them with promises of sorbet lol - even if it means you have to buy a 5kg bag of ice :D :D :D

Hi, we have had ours for 6 days now and keeping a list of the TWENTYTWO different uses it has ben put to so far! Almost all from my 12 and 14 yr olds (girls - sorry boy mothers :)
Last night we tried mango sorbet - which turned out really well only you really don't need as much sugar as the recipe calls for - 150g as the mango is so naturally sweet. It was a huge success using only one med-large mango and feeding the family of four with seconds. Next time I will quietly cut down the sugar by at least 50g.
I have told the kids that I am no longer buying store biscuits or cakes so if they want to have something along those lines they have to put in the effort. They have with crepes - super easy. The coconut butter cake - very successful - don't know how easy as wasn't even home! Buttermilk scones - good way to use up leftover buttermilk and very yummy though did add more flour at shaping stage to make them manageable - 12 yr old managed that one all on her own etc etc etc
You go girl, thermi makes all your ingredients go along way - not sure why but it just seems to ??
have fun!! ;D

Ha ha, not only girls - my 3 teen boys are very adept as using the TMX and my nephew is begging his mother for one so he can cook ;) ;)
Honestly believe with TMX there is no excuse for kids not to have a go in the kitchen as it is so safe - so whether it be boys or girls you have - let them at it ;) :D :D
-
Congratulations on the new TM the vermins.Happy cooking at your DB tomorrow.What did you decide to cook. ;D
-
:) finally told Dh that I bought it. Hee hee. So norty! Definitely going to make the sorbet. Will think about the rest later. I'm getting the Indian cookbook so maybe that will inspire me. Oh I am SO going to make real custard though! I wonder what I'll be able to make before my work meeting tomorrow night. Hmmmm
Pick up is around one. Meetin six. I think that's plenty of time to whip up a feast. :)
-
vermins, go for it ;D ;D ;D ;D. If you look at the posts on the Forum, you will notice some have a LOT of comments. These are the ones that are very popular, and the ones you might find good to start with.
-
Sounds like you are one very happy chappy the vermins - how's the cooking been going?
-
How is the cookin' goin' vermins? I hope things are going well. It is normal to have some failures, often they can be turned into soup or icecream. Bron is a wizard at this.
-
I am SO in love with my Thermomix. ;D
Picked it up on Friday and had it unpacked and cranked by 2pm on Fri afternoon. Made the kids a glorious mango sorbet, whipped up a batch of choc chip muffins and made some custard too. Nom nom...
Saturday night was a doozy though. I was given the Indian cookbook and I made the Chicken Korma for dinner. It was SO easy and so flavoursome. You could always make it hotter by adding more chilli powder, but the basic recipe is lovely and tasty. Not too hot for kids either.
Made some more custard for pudding. Mmmmmm...
Tonight was a big challenge. I had an hour in between one job and the start of another so I had to get home and have dinner cooked within that time. I made Chicken and spinach risotto and had it in the thermoserver on the table for when DH got home with the kids. Was nice and easy. After sitting there for some time though, it did get a touch gluggy.
The best bit about this all, is that DH is getting inspired and looking through the books to see what he'd like to try. Am feeling REALLY good about this. :)
-
You are going great guns vermins - there will be no stopping you now.
-
Quick question for whomever is awake.
What does MC mean?
Um, also does soft mean the ^^ button?
:: what do you use that for?
I've tried finding it in the books, but it's not really very clear.
-
It means measuring cup the_vermins.The cap that sit in the lid. ;) I'm awake, it's lunchtime here. :D
-
Thanks for that.
Makes sense now! LOL!
-
Forgot to add yes ^^ = soft speed, and the :: symbol is used when you make bread as it's intermittent for kneading.
-
Ah ha. Right.
DH is making his first thing! Frothy milk for a coffee! Ha ha! :P
I'm going to make some bread dough now so it can proof overnight.
-
Good luck with the bread.Are you trying Isi's recipe?Bread is so rewarding to make, would love to hear how it turns out. ;)
-
NAh. Cheating. Already have the bread mix. Once I work out a nice bread mix, I'll make my own, but for the moment, we'll stick with the shop stuff.
All made and proving.
DH was pretty chuffed with his coffee too. Very frothy.
Might have converted him to trying a few dishes too.
-
What wonderful exciting news the_vermins. I'm glad your DH is getting into it too.
