My parents new thermie
« on: November 20, 2010, 06:38:16 am »
hi guys

ive been away a bit of late as ive been holidaying in oz with my family...one more week to go 'snif' before we head back to the world of freezing wintery europe.  Just before i arrived a few weeks back my parents got their new thermomix so i have been showing them a few key recipes for the short time we have actually been home...i also got nearly all the aussie thx cookbooks while i was here..yay..i think my husband is freaking out at where on earth im going to put my ever expanding cookbook collection both thx and other haha..oh well think yet another bookcase will be on order when we get back home!

ive joined my parents up on the forum as well so be gentle they are not super computer savy.... my parents will be under the pseudo 'Magoo' normally..all being approved by the forum powers that be lol

On another note i cant believe there are consultants out there that have no clue about this forum...its one of the first things i checked out and im not a consultant..pity could do some people some good i think..oh well..the consultant my parents have certainly didnt sell the thermomix well unfortunately and didnt cook that well either and it was only my ranting on about it and telling them of the huge range of recipes that got them intrigued and keen to purchase!  think i may also have got other family members into it as we took it on a family weekend and i did some coleslaw and dips etc from this forum..yum yum..would mention them but i dont know how to link the recipes to here so...

anyway hope your all well and i look forward to checking out what new recipes have hit the forum while ive been away

Hi Frozzie, lovely to hear from you again. What a lovely holiday you must be having. We'll welcome your parents with open arms. Where abouts do they live?
It is horrid when consultants aren't helpful. Hopefully they will be able to get all the help they need on here.
I'll look out for Magoo.

they live on the sunshine coast on the range and we are having a great time just starting to get a little sad about having to go back home back to life as normal  :(

Oh Frozzie

I wish we'd have had a chance to catch up!  I'm not far from there.  ;)

Hope your journey home is wonderful and I hope your parents can connect with another consultant in the area if they need support.  There are a few great ones around! :)

Hi Frozzie, welcome home.  Only mentioned your name the other day and wondered where you had gone.  Looking forward to meeting the Magoo family - we can be their other family when you go home  ;)

How wonderful that you were able to catch up with family for a short while.

I do hope they find another consultant to help them. Is there anyone on the forum from that area?
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
