Glad to be of service, goldfish ;D

Lauzzie, that makes sense, but I didn't even know whether or not to include the pith- lol! But now I know :)

Sooooo yummy:) One lemon was perfect for me.  I can't wait to make the chocolate  version for the kids.

I still can't believe that little old me is cooking custard to use up milk at it's due date. Previously I would have just tipped it down the sink!

Chit Chat / Dumb question about lemon zest

I am going to make the custard in the EDC to use up some milk. So how do I get the zest off the lemon?! (told you it was a dumb question- lol!)

Chit Chat / Cooking for one

My kids are with their dad for the long weekend. Are there many recipes for one? I know I could just cook some normal recipes and then freeze the rest, but the recipes seem to be just perfect for 2 nights for the kids and me.

I know I could just chuck in a bit of this and that but I am not exactly a "chuck in" type cook

Started my weekend by cooking banana and choc muffins with my son (8). Of course we had to eat one each the minute they came out of the oven while we watched the footy- Yummo!

Loving it! Veggie stock done with consultant. Made hummus after she left. Can't wait until kids are settled in bed and I will make soup. I can see myself wanting to cook all weekend. Never thought I would say that!

Lol!

Boring, but I am going to cook the vegetable concentrate so I can cook other things. I am also going to make hummus as a surprise for a work friend who loves TM hummus. Plus pumpkin soup if I get to it:) I can feel a big cooking weekend coming on! Wish I had annual leave tomorrow- lol!

I ordered mine this afternoon. Might take a little while to come as they have to process the interest free paperwork.

I mentioned to my bro and his wife today that I was going to get a TM. My brother's response was, "NoOooooOo!" His wife is going to a demo next weekend and he is worried- lol! Now I am going with her, he is extra worried!

Thanks everyone ;D

Judy, I am in Clearview.

I can't even imagine not buying packets of muesli bars etc for lunches. I think my little family is in for a big shock!

Good morning everyone:)

I'm Lisa, from Adelaide. I use this username, Lees75, on a number of forums, so if you recognize me, please sing out.

I am not a good cook by any stretch of the imagination. I can cook when I have time, but I work full time and am a single mum to 2 gorgeous kids. We eat mildly healthy, but lots of processed and pre-prepared foods. I have been thinking about getting a TM for months now, after numerous threads about them on a parenting forum I go on. I have been waiting for the interest free promotion, so it looks like this will be my month. My boss is holding a demo on the 15th and I can't wait! I am already reading this forum for tips and ideas.
