Now I know what you were all going on about!
« on: April 18, 2010, 09:13:31 am »
We after reading, lusting,  ordering ( unseen ), waiting and recieving I am now converted to the Thermomix world.
Alice ( after the cook/housekeeper in  The Brady Bunch ) arrived at a delivery demo on Friday afternoon, that night she made sorbert ( didn't go over well with the husband but kids loved it), Saturday she started the day with my 13 y.o. making his own porridge. The onto EDC muffins ( not a big hit ) I tried an old family recipe for a boiled fruit cake ( perfect ), orange juice,  then for dinner she made, foccacia bread EDC minestrone ( couldn't fit the pasta in so when without that ) then the biggest hit the EDC Lemon Meringue Pie ( DH husband said my best one ever! )
She has also been busy today with more porridge, Bread rolls, Lentil and walnut patties and Peanut chilli sauce for lunch, she is busy now making Tomato Sauce with the glut of tomatoes from the garden and I am hoping tonight she can cope with mashed Potatoes and steamed veg, Oh I forgot juice again today ...apple, manderine and orange.
And I think I have also finally worked out how to get the lid on first go! So after BIG doubts on Friday night I think she will settle in just fine as the new hired help.
It really is a whole new way of cooking to get used to ( and I am stunned :o that I have admitted to naming a household appliance so not like me but "themomix" gets a bit long after a while ) and now I think I do know why you all talk of your Thermomix's so fondly!

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.

I'm surprised you were able to get out of the kitchen to post after that mammoth effort  ;) I remember my DH actually begging us not to make any more food for a while, because we had too much (he couldn't believe at the time he would ever have to say that because he eats a lot)
