Title: Hi everyone!
Post by: krisso on October 06, 2011, 11:59:05 am: Hello everyone.

My name is Kris and I'm a stay-at-home mummy to 2 gorgeous girls in Brisbane, Qld, Australia. My wonderful husband just bought me a Thermomix for my birthday on Tuesday - I think it may have been the daily doses of "If I had a Thermomix I wouldn't have to chop this onion/stand here with this mixer/get this coffee ground at the shop/etc, etc that gave him the hint! lol :D

I went to a friend's demo about a month ago and I was hooked! I've really re-discovered a love of cooking in recent months - my girls, at 2 and a half and 4 and a half years old, are old enough to help out and I find I have more time now to whip up yummy things that I haven't been able to the past few years. Also, being a mummy and with our household living on one wage I'm very conscious of the nutritional value of what we're eating (and of course that often means hiding the good stuff so the kids don't even realise they're eating it!) and trying to be frugal and smart with what and how I cook, so..... I just happened to hear about Thermomix at just the right time - what an amazing machine - I can't wait to really get to know it and see what I can do with it!

I have a feeling I may be spending a fair amount of time with you people in the next little while as I learn my way around my new baby, so Hi! and looking forward to chatting with you around the forum here. I've already spent a few evenings reading and making notes so I already owe lots of thanks!!

Cheers, Kris

Nice to hear you have been doing some reading, there's plenty of that to be done but you will learn so much if you can spend some time browsing. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and join in all our conversations - the more the merrier.

It's wonderful how the thermomix encourages us to do all sorts of cooking we normally wouldn't try to do. I really wish I'd had one when my kids were little - I'm sure you'll get so much use and pleasure out of it. I find the forum the 'go to' place to check recipes or just have a laugh - the people here are all so nice ;D
