Hi JulieO

Thanks for the recipe.  It sounds delicious - will look for a replacement for the cream (wonder if you can get soy cream or such) as my husband and son are a1 milk protein intolerant and I'd like to be able to make it for them as well.  I can eat this yummy version though!!!

I'm also going to have a go at tweeking the mayo recipe in the basic recipe book and see if I can get something similar to Salad Cream.  Will post how I go with it.

Cheers
Sandy 

See!  I knew it would be something simple!     Thanks for helping me out.

Thank you all so much for your lovely welcome notes! 

My (our) Thermomix arrives this Saturday and we are VERY excited!  All the boys (except for the dog although he is one of the boys) are champing at the bit to get started.  I think custard is going to be making a frequent appearance in our house for some time to come.

I've been extolling the virtues of having a Thermomix at work and two patients are checking them out now, as well as one of the blokes who was eaves dropping on our conversation.  My sister in law in Townsville is asking about getting invited to a demo, as is my daughter who lives in Canberra.

Our freezer is stocked up with frozen berries and rhubarb so I think we'll have to try the Strawberry Rhubarb syrup recipe soon.  My husband is a huge fan of rhubarb.  Really looking forward to making jams and pickles and chutneys.  My grandmother always made her own and they were the best - she would have loved one of these!

I can't remember - does the Thermomix come with any recipe books?  It'll be interesting adapting our family favourites so that we can cook as much as possible in it.  I'll be able to make stir fries without turning them into stews!

Back to school tomorrow, so it's bed time for all of us - we have pretty early starts.  Thanks again for the welcome - it really made me feel good.
