I bet you aren't :D  It is well worth the wait isn't it?  Hi disgruntleddog, welcome to the forum and thanks for letting us know what you've made so far. With the holiday season approaching, I can imagine how much you are going to do in the coming weeks.  Have fun.

Welcome DD and Mrs DD,  I've had my Thermomix for five months and i still marvel at it everyday, today I made some Old Bay seasoning ready to make some KFC coating,  ice-cream, (which unfortunately is a little grainy I decided to put in the extra cream left over  and over beat-ed it ) and the everyday juice and have you tried poached eggs . I love this forum everyday there are so many tempting recipes to try.

Welcome Mr and Mrs DD. Who gets to use the Thermomix the most? ;)

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Both Ms DD and I cook. Being a bit more of gadget kind of guy, I've been using it the most.

Going to make some more bread tonight. Don't really need to cook for a couple of days as we've got plenty of leftovers. Had the chilli with bread rolls today at work. Yum.

Welcome to the forum DD. Good to see you enjoying your new toy.

For bread, try Isi's Everyday Bread (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2665.0). It's a great recipe.

Thanks for the bread link. Looks yum.

I tried the spelt bread recipe in the basics book and it was good but I used wholemeal flour and I think it needed a little more kneading. Quite tasty but texture was a little scone like.

Have fun, welcome to the forum.
You will just love it, and cook as much as you can all the time.


Try Quirky Jo's blog for bread too.
