Thanks Meagan for passing this recipe on - I've just made it, and after never having much success before, this has to be the easiest, creamiest and tastiest mayo I've ever made!
Thanks again,
Judith

This is a call for help!! I thought the red & green shortbread sounded great, and made plans to make lots for Christmas gift giving. I tried my first batch tonight, and used a gluten-free flour mix (milled rice & sago with potato starch), but forgot to add xanthan gum - and they don't hold together at all. Next time, I won't attempt gluten-free - but in the meantime, does anyone have a suggestion for using my cranberry & pistachio biscuit crumbs? My daughter suggested making a slice, but I don't know how I would bind it together and I'm hesitant to add more butter when there is so much in the mixture already. Any ideas?

Well, it's 48 hours since delivery! So far I've made pumpkin soup, mashed potatoes, chocolate sorbet (from quirkycooking - yum!), breakfast smoothies, almost GF bread (didn't quite work out as well as I'd hoped - a bit sticky), a bruschetta type topping, chicken korma (achookwoman's delicious recipe), and chocolate swirl cheesecake (adapted from a standard recipe - found it a bit fiddly as I had to keep taking the lid off every 5 seconds to check how it was going at each stage, I guess I'll get better as I get used to it). There are (almost GF) hot cross buns in the oven now - not sure how they will turn out -they look & smell OK. Really liked ILoveBimby's idea of using a muffin tray - I'd been wondering how to get gloopy GF dough into bun shapes! Tonight I'll be doing mulled wine (from UK Thermomix site), and with family coming for lunch at the weekend I'm planning hummus, garlic & herb dip, chicken & cashews, and orange & almond cake (with chocolate sorbet on the side.) I'm also looking forward to making yoghurt, peanut butter and vege stock concentrate when I get the chance.
STOP PRESS: Just stopped to take the buns out of the oven - did a taste test on the most uninspiring looking one - and it was great!

Thanks for your welcome.
I'm thinking the initial plan of attack will involve strawberry daiquiris (celebratory drinks!), and I might give the chicken korma a go (thanks boonderoostudio for the tip - we love a good curry), and for dessert, the Mars Bar dip is looking pretty good!!
Will let you know how it goes,
Judith

Hello everyone,
As I write, I am enjoying leftover risotto from my demo on Saturday night, and looking forward to the arrival of my very own TMX. I've haunted this forum over the past three months as I've researched, saved and made the decision to purchase - and it's been so helpful to see the kinds of things I could make and to be prepared for the potential pitfalls of new operators. It's reassuring to know that help and advice are just a mouseclick away.
Looking forward to trying out new recipes, and converting some old favourites - lucky I'm a teacher and will have lots of time to play during the school holidays,
Best wishes,
Judith
