Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Crack in front panel
« on: August 05, 2013, 11:39:16 am »
I have that crack too! I noticed it about 6 months ago & seeing as it hasn't affected anything I didn't worry.
Should I?

Chit Chat / Re: New Stove - What to buy?
« on: March 06, 2013, 10:49:44 am »
We are building a new house soon & I am looking at Falcon ovens.
They have gas cooktop/electric oven & induction/ electric combinations.
I am looking at the induction cooktop but am not sure at this stage as it means
buying new pots & pans! Still researching...

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Re: Fruity Chicken Salad with Minted Orange Dressing - Merry Christmas
« on: January 17, 2013, 10:11:59 am »
This is my absolute favourite salad ever!

The dressing is delicious & makes a lot, so I store it in the fridge as it keeps well.
With the quinoa & chicken, the salad is substantial enough & loved by the men in the family too!

Unbelievable!
I just stumbled on their site a couple of days ago & ordered spelt flour, rapadura and a couple of other goodies.
I am hoping my order arrives this week as I look for healthier alternatives in my cooking.

Chit Chat / Re: Best budget place to stay in Bali or Thailand
« on: July 17, 2012, 02:11:39 pm »
We are going to Bali in early August & we like to stay at the Aston in Tanjung Benoa. We usually go there 2 or 3 times a year. Our daughter is getting married there in June next year. I buy fabric on my trips as I am a quilter & the Balinese are well known for their beautiful batiks. This trip I am doing a cooking workshop that I hope to adapt to my thermomix when I get back. I love Bali! 8)

My dad called me to say he got some tinned tomatoes for 59c a can & did I want some? :D

My new favourite soup from the tinned tomatoes is on the menu this week!

Thanks so much for this recipe!

I made it yesterday & it was just lovely...smooth & creamy.
I used half milk & half cream & couldn't have been happier.
Served with fresh bread straight from the oven...what more could a girl want? :D

Of course nobody has bothered to tell you that you will put on weight!

I went from having no interest in cooking, to whipping up loaves of bread & making calorie laden cakes, just because it's sooooo easy!
Then I had to eat them....that's when I realised that maybe there's a downside!

I made this cake yesterday and can't believe how good this TM makes me look!
Everyone that tasted it thought I was brilliant! I made the chocolate ganache & served it with the EDC
Strawberry sauce & double cream......yum!

Made this tonight for dinner and.....we have a winner!!!!!

This will definitely become a regular meal at my house. It was tasty, healthy & soooooo easy!
I made the basic version & will try some variations in the future.
Thank you to everyone who contributes to this forum, you really inspire me to try new things!
My interest in cooking has returned  :)

Bread / Re: Plain White rolls - no fuss
« on: May 03, 2012, 09:01:03 am »
What a great recipe!

Today I made a pull apart with chilli onion spread & sprinkled with cheese.
I ate it with my Broccoli & cheese soup & it was yummy on such a miserable day.

I also made jam drops & then some nut spread.
I never thought I would love my Thermie this much!

Hi all,

I have been lurking for a while & got my TM just before Christmas.
I am really enjoying printing out the recipes & experimenting.
I have been having the best fun and have a renewed enthusiasm for cooking again.
I am in Diamond Creek in Melbourne.
