Chit Chat / Re: iPad apps
« on: January 15, 2012, 09:32:42 am »
If u put iCloud on one of ur apple devices it uploads all the same apps to each device.  For example if you download kindle onto ur iPhone it will automatically go to ur iPad, iPod.  You cannot as far as I know sync these except to a pc to get ur latest versions of the platform progs that run ur device.  Does that make sense.  I haven't synced my iPad or iPhone for ages and am dreading the new versions that have come out to update  - its going to take ages :-)). I'm pretty sure about the iCloud thing as afta I downloaded it all new apps I acquired appeared on my phone, iPad and ipod ;D.  I just would love a MacBook now but got a "regular" laptop to keep the continuity for the kids to work on between school and home.  For those obsessed about angry birds you have to download Where's my Water ( a crocodile who lives in the sewers and requires water to shower. - we are all hooked on it. :-*

Hi everyone,
well I made marshmallow! Tastes ok - strawberry ess.  I did the syrup in the saucepan on the stove rolling boil for 10 min - really thickened up.  Then started to use my kenwood hand mixer but it crept up the whippers and into the little holes, so transferred the extremely sticky, gooey stuff into the TM bowl and with butterfly in, MC off tried to further whip it.  For some reason - maybe too thick the TM had GREAT trouble whipping , speed 4.  So stopped and just put into the cones, just checked them before and the kids will be happy but it has sunk back into the cone no fluffiness on top!!  I will not be making them again, to much effort for little gain. - only got 7 cones!!  Recipe I used as follows:
2.5 tblsp gelatine
1.5 cups water
2 cups white sugar
.5 tsp red coloring ( did not add)
.25 tsp strawberry ess. ( did add tastes a little gelatinely otherwise)

Many thanks for all your replies hope some else attempts marshmallow and has better success.

Yes JD it was Tenina's.  Not sure what went wrong?  Might just use my kenwood handmixer and find a recipe in the WW cookbooks to have another go, or some of the links in my previous post.  Just trying to use my TM for all cooking to get used to using it :)

I have both Deceptively Delicious and Double Delicious by Jessica Seinfield.  I too am a newbie and had these pre TM, she uses alot of purees in her recipes so I plan to look at these cookbooks closer now.  Cauliflour, pumpkin, brocoli puree etc.  My kids would pick out the grated vegies in bolognaise but not when I've done it in the TM and pureed them!

 :'( Ok the marshmallow did not fluff, just a thick white goo - if you know what i mean.  Tried beating it for a bit longer to see if it would fluff but to know avail.  Anyone know what may be wrong??  The recipe I used was from here,
220g sugar
1tbsp gelatin
250g boiling water
Disslove gelatin in boiling water inTM bowl  Cook 22mins at 100deg on speed 1.
Cool to room temp. almost at setting stage.
Whip syrup 3-4 min at speed 4 until thickened.
The syrup did not seem to set once cool - maybe gelatin to old, although mum said it doesn't go off??, fairly humid in brisbane tonight??
Any ideas be greatfully accepted.  Want to have another try tomorrow morning.
many thanks Annabelle ;D

Uncooked in balls sounds great, at the moment we are eating shop bought ones called Penne Toscano ( from Coles) traditional bases.  very tasty!!! But expensive at $3 each - only for mummy and daddy the kids had TM Bol.sauce tonight.

Didn't get there today :-[ made my great aunts chocolate cake recipe in the tm as 12 muffins and then the two ring tin cakes for racetrack birthday cake, the Nestlé choc chip biscuit dough, 3 rolls in the freezer ;D. Going to do marshmallow late fri arvo hoping it will be ok for Sunday.  Pretty impressed with the tm and seems not to hard to do my own recipes in!  Just need something as clever to CONTACT the 4 kids books for school - it is soooo time consuming. : >:(

2 x toothpaste dispensers of eBay about $ 15 total including postage. Was sick of the 4 kids putting toothpaste literally everywhere except their mouths.  It delivers a pea sized amount, perfect for kids, saves on toothpaste and MESS!!! :-))

 :)Ok this morning i went thru all my party stuff for the marshmallow cone recipe i had.  Of course it was cake mixture that u put in the cones. Have downloaded the marshmallow recipe from here and just going to give it a go.  Will leave them at room temp, as the recipe judy found said.  I am hoping that they will last a few days in an air tight container :P happy to post pictures if i can work out how to do it.  Now I'm going to print of the choc bimby cake recipe to make the Car Racing track birthday cake ;D  Wish me luck! Thanks Annabelle
