Hi - My name is Sophie and I'm in Geelong. I ordered my thermomix last week and I'm desperately hoping it comes before Christmas. We head off camping on boxing day and I'm hoping to take along the thermomix :)
I've been stalking this forum for a few weeks now, have bookmarked so many recipes I think I need to start printing them out! I've just cleaned out the pantry and have started stocking up on items I might need.
Patience has never been my strong point!

Hi Sophie - I DO trust you receive it in time.
I was TOTALLY impatient in getting mine - over 2 years & 3 months ago now.
All the best & Happy Christmas
Cathryn
P.S. Would TOTALLY appreciate a Vote & Share for my Christmas Menu Idea as the winner receives a THERMOMIX, hehe - - closes 21 December & I've only just entered, WAY behind the competition, but, nevertheless I'll still try! I have a dear friend who's going through a really rough patch & she simply loves cooking, and is totally envious of my Thermomix & the help it gives me in the kitchen. Thought it would be a great idea for me to act as a Secret Santa!

hi and welcome to the forum Soph77 i know it hard waiting :( . did your consultant give you any idea when the delivery will be
-
Thanks for the welcom cgale and fundj. Fundj - no specific date for arrival, was just told that it should be here before Christmas. I will call again tomorrow though and see if she can give me a day. I also want to order a bag and a few other bits and pieces. Already decided I think butter chicken will be our first dinner in it. It has to be something that will impress hubbie!

Dear Soph77, I understand your impatience. Your poor consultant can't do anything about it. Just forget about Thermomix for the time being and it will all happen as soon as humanly possible. I was the same, but good things come to those who wait, as the saying goes. Thermomix is more than GOOD - it's AWESOMEand you have one. Lucky you!

Hi Soph77, welcome to the forum. I do hope the TMX can be delivered before Christmas but be prepared for a disappointment if it isn't. Which butter chicken recipe are you planning to do - I take it you have seen the one from the Indian cookbook here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5295.0) and will be doing that one? It is much better than the one in the EDC which comes with the TMX.

Welcome Soph77. WE'll keep our fingers crossed for a pre Christmas delivery.
-
Welcome to the forum Sophie. Fingers crossed!!!!
-
Hey Sohpie! I'm from Colac :) There are a few of us here :) Look foward to seeing you around!

welcome Soph77 - I am sure Santa will be working very hard to get your TM by Christmas Day ;)
-
Welcome to the forum Sophie. :)

Welcome Sophie, waiting is the hard part but it does give you time to get some recipes together and read up on the tweaks posted at the forum. I was so impatient I made some of the recipes in my food processor while waiting for delivery.

I think my thermomix may have arrived.......oh the excitement!!!
-
Soph77..... I am so excited for you, I hope it has arrived. This is the season for miracles, so don't lose hope. If it is delayed, be patient, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT ;D
Have a Merry Christmas and a Thermie New Year

Ahhhh heaven....yes my thermomix has arrived! THe kids and I made some orange sorbet which was quickly demolished and I've just made the tikka paste so I can make butter chicken tomorrow night. I think I'm in love! Such a shame I'm working all day tomorrow.
Anyway thank you for your welcome and I'm looking forward to 'getting to know' you guys more as I explore this thermomix adventure :)

That tikka paste lasts for MONTHS and is fab - use it as a marinade, use it for butter chicken ....
My boys LOVE the Thermomix and most of that which it produces :)
Its really elevated my cooking to another level - I've even attempted puff pastry :)

Well I feel almost guilty saying this but it was FANTASTIC! Next I'm going to give criossants a go.
I adapted the method from Lorraine Pascale's book "Baking Made Easy" I'm afraid I'm a real cook book addict (although I'm slowly moving towards electronic media for my books - FAR easier to sneak into the house that way :) ) but I really like her writing, she makes it seem so easy.
I've linked the recipe for you here

Honestly, follow those instructions and you will wonder what the fuss was about :)
