Chit Chat / Re: Fete Stall - Sorbets in the TMX

Thank you everyone for your well wishes.

We had 4 thermomixes.

Great weather and heaps of helpers.

Cutting up all the fruit, weighing and bagging was a great idea.

We did Mango and Strawberry smoothies in 2 thermomixes on one side and Mango and Strawberry granita/sorbets in the other 2 thermomixes.

We would have sold about 400 cups (200ml).

My only problem....our poor spatulas have had a beating.

I may have to buy new ones. Can you do that???

Wow only 5 days to go.

All the fruit is washed, cut up and pre weighed into individual bags.

Sugar has been milled.

Ice is on order.

Everyone has labelled their TMX so that we don't confuse items.

I am excited...

I didn't know if I am allowed to post the school and date on here so I will wait until I hear from a Moderator.

In the meantime, I will PM you!!

As for food safety, we are all attending a special meeting next week.

We have already been told about gloves for handling food at all times.
Storing food in the correct containers with labels.
That the person who handles money is not allowed to handle food and vice versa (eg. a delegated person for money and delegated people to make the food).
We must all wear an apron.
We are right next to our school kitchen which is TAFE Certificate hospitality grade (so lots of safety, lots of fridges/freezers) etc...
And being a school we have Insurance and special insurance even for the Fete that day.

Although it is the first year I have worked at this school, it seems this Fete (that happens Biennially) is very well organised and thoughtout.

 :)

eta -
containergirl, some excellent suggestions there - we hadn't thought about preweighing the fruit. I think that is a definite goer.
zan I am hoping to try and find a similar type company here. I will start googling now!

Hey ThermomixBlogger Perth is having a HEAT WAVE - over 20degrees (celcius) everynight and up to between 34-36 degrees every day. YUKKKK.

My electricity bill is going to make me cry.

Thanks Meagan and Caroline.

It is in Perth on the 10th of April.

We have been asked not to do lemon as there will be another stall making homemade lemonade. So we are probably going to do oranges and other tropical flavoured fruits.

Great idea about the Thermoservers!!

Ok, I must be crazy. I have been talked into running a stall at the school fete - Sensational Sorbets.

We have access to 4-5 Thermomixes. We think we will only do 2 flavours - (one citrus, one berry).

We are going to serve in plastic glasses (200ml) with plastic tea spoons - I know it isn't environmentally friendly but I am worried about consistency if we go for icecream cones.

We are thinking of using food grade bags of ice, pre-prepared ground sugar (ready to go in a container) and then pre-chopped fruit.

We have 3-4 ladies on roster during the day 10am -4pm.

Any hints, ideas, have I missed something?
What flavours do you think we should do?
We are thinking of charging $2.50 a serve.
Most importantly, what do we need to do to ensure we don't break our TMXs??

Thanks

Introduce Yourself / Another newbie here

I got my thermomix on Saturday.

I thought I would only try the things in the recipe book first.

On Sunday we made the pumpkin soup - I had to cook it for a lot longer than what it said, it kinda tasted raw after the quoted time.

And on Tuesday we had the chicken and cashews which was great.

I had a meeting at work tonight and something else planned on Monday, so not sure what to make for Thursday night!!

Hmmm.... any suggestions?
