Hi Mich,
What have you cooked over the last couple of days? Hope it is going well!

Thanks for the tip CarolineW, heaps easier to do it that way! I've done up a few jars as Christmas gifts for family members who I'm not meant to buy for.

Thanks for the tip on the cordial! Will give that a go this morning. I don't think we're far from our trees season being over. I need to make another batch of jam too. The last batch I couldn't get to wrinkle on the plate like ususal (cooked in my saucepan) and I think I overcooked it. There is no hope of it falling out of the jar it is very solid. Are there any other ways you test if jam is ready? The boys are loving the jam though.
I made a cashew sauce last night for tea, to use on our chicken wraps, it's a recipe I converted. I am so inspired to cook. I hope this bit sticks around with the machine.
It was lovely to meet everyone at Kings Park. Hopefully next meet Paul has the day off so I'm not so sidetracked keeping an eye on my children.

Yes definitely nice to know what's going into our food, I'm ok with the sugar, it's all those additives and preservatives that I like to avoid if possible.
I definitely wouldn't have had so much fun with a ring, so no change of heart here. I have been talking with a few people about the TMX too. My Bessemer lady rang up tonight asking if I wanted to buy anything. She ended up taking Meagan's number and she's going to google the machine, she'd never heard of it before.
I've made some Mulberry jam tonight, as we're lucky to have a tree out the front. Every year it is painful to make, tonight was an absolute breeze, no stirring, no testing the temperature.
I hope to make it to the Perth meet tomorrow. I feel really lucky that it is on so soon after getting the machine!

Thanks for the warm welcome! Bonus that there is a meet so soon after getting our TMX, I will try to make it, I'd love to join in.
I made the crunchie icecream slice to take to my BIL's for tea tonight. It was a hit all round. Thankfully none of it has come home with us, the boys don't usually eat sweets, so they were a little high going to bed. I couldn't believe how quick it was to make, my first ah it is quick experience.
About to grab the book out and see what would be good for tomorrow.

Hi all. I'm Sam from Perth (born in Hamilton was reading a Hamilton/Horsham post earlier), I've had my TMX for a day now.
We've been married ten years in Feb, and DH was planning on buying an eternity ring. I convinced him the ring wasn't going to help me at all, this was a far better buy for us. We have three children under five, and DH works three/four nights a week, it is going to help our family in so many ways.
We've had a really busy weekend so I've only had a chance to do the potato cakes for lunch followed by the sorbet, due to not many ingredients in the cupboards. The boys didn't really take to either meal, I've never done potato cakes for them before and the sorbet was pretty sweet. Thinking the strawberries being so fresh and sweet naturally, didn't require as much sugar? I'll try it with the lemon next time, Meagan's demo sorbet is going to be hard to beat!
Anyway I look forward to roaming around here for recipes and tips and chatting along the way.
Samxo
