I  have been sitting here enthralled with the ongoing soap opera on 'the Hill'  amazing! It has all the hallmarks of a new mini series. Wonder who will play Julia and Kevin. Maybe Kate Blanchette and Bert Newtons son??  :-)) hopefully now they can get on with the business of governing  ??? On the topic of coffee, I have a Miele capsule machine installed when we built our home, it was on the top of my wish list. It takes the nespresso capsules and produces a coffee/ cuppacino as good as you get from a top notch cafe. Love it as does all family and friends. :D

Hi Astarra and thankyou for the welcome. At the moment there is only myself and DH, however I have a boomerang son who comes and goes when it pleases him although has recently built a new house for himself with a full on home theatre/ media room so he may have gone for good this time, lol but he still drops by often to raid my fridge!. One of my daughters and her family ( DH and four children) live within walking distance from us so they are over quite often for a meal. Two other daughters visit from Sydney and visit regularly so when everyone is here it is quite a full house. What about you, do you have a large family?

I followed the recipe in the EDC the first time, cooking the potatoes in the milk-disaster! Next I tried steaming  them in the varoma basket, took way too long, ended up throwing them in a saucepan to finish as the rest of the meal was ready. Maybe I didn't have the temp high enough at 100 degrees and pieces too large? I now make them the 'old fashioned' way,at least I know they will turn out right. Maybe I will give it another go sometime when I have some rice in the fridge to fall back on.

 :)Welcome L plater, I suppose I would be classified as having my P's and I'm sure it won't take you long either. Your journey will be fun with possibly a few 'pot holes' along the way, Mine was mashed potato, more like glue, but that is part of the learning curve. How cute are your babies!!

 :)Hello and thankyou for such a warm welcome!! Yes we have had some really cold nights here but thankfully followed by sunny days. I have been making different types of bread and rolls, cinnamon scrolls, pasta dough, butter, custards steamed puddings, and heaps of cakes and muffins as well as soups and risotto.looking forward to trying crumpets and English muffins. I use the TM more for preparation than cooking, especially meat dishes, haven't yet broken old habits but it gets used most days, sometimes multiple times. :P  regards to all

 ??? Hi to everyone, not sure if I am in the right area, still trying to navigate my way around. Looking forward to trying out and possibly posting recipes in the future. I have had my TM for around 8 months and enjoying lots of new things I would never even dreamed I would/could ever attempt to make from scratch, but still hope to learn more. Regards to all. :)
