Just getting started
« on: January 08, 2011, 06:23:33 am »
Hi forum,
I have been the owner of a Thermomix for a couple of years, I'm a bit of a gadget freak and buy almost anything new, but I was so busy in business that i never got around to learning how to use it and so have only made a couple of things so far.
Friends with the machine are all loving it, but I think I've been a bit lazy at learning to do things another way.
I have time now so googled around and found this site and so I have decided to get it out and start using it, and have seen quite a few things in here that I want to try.
Thanks for this forum it's such a great idea
Jan

Welcome Jan. I'm glad you have the TMX out and have decided to start using it again.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Hi Jan, poor Thermie shut in a cupboard for 2 years  :o :o  So glad you found us & I do hope this forum inspires you to leave him out on the bench and use him daily like the rest of us  - or several times a day for the bulk of us.   What do you think you are going to start with?

i'm proud of you using it again. Personally, I couldnt imagine not using it. I actually get depressed on days I dont get to use it!

Thanks everyone for the welcome and encouragement, when I bought the TM I went home and made the Beany pasta recipe that was used at the demo, nice, and a sorbet, and a disaster porridge, I then put it away and went back to my old ways, although recently I got it out and did a hommous.
Judydawn I have decided to make today the Chicken Zucchini recipe I saw on here, and tomorrow my sister is coming to visit and show me some of her tricks.

Nice that you have a sister with one too Jannikins - she will get you moving again I am sure.  Is she a forum member too?

Yes Judy she is but I see she has only ever made a couple of posts, but she says she refers to the site for ideas.
My Chicken Zucchini thingys are in the oven now, I will let you know how they turn out. I just came back to find the zucchini brownie recipe as I have picked the zucchinis they are on my list to find things for, I have made a chocolate zucchini cake before and it is very good.
