Excited to be here!

[Razco]

Hello Hello!!

My name is Corli-Anne and I've been longing for a Thermomix since a friend lent me one last year. Well... I took advantage of the interest free and my Thermie was delivered last week.

I live in Sydney with my hubby, two boys 3.5 & 16 months and a big yellow labrador (who is my 3rd child really!)

So far I've tried a few recipes with success and am looking forward to trying out more complex recipes. I have not tried the varoma yet.

Looking forward to more interactions

Hello Corli-Anne, welcome to the forum.  What a lovely friend you have and what a great way to find out if you really do want one in your own kitchen.  Guess you were reluctant to give it back   Like you, I didn't jump straight in and try the varoma but once I did, it's now the only way I cook my vegies and it's amazing the things you can actually steam in there - bread, desserts, even meat. Looking forward to hearing of your experiences, enjoy your time on the forum.

Hi Razco, welcome to the forum. After longing for a TM of your own for so long I bet your loving it. What kind of things have you tried so far?
Happy cooking

Hi Razco

I am new here and awaiting my TMX. I too have a fur kid who was my first born before my now almost two year old.

Welcome Razco 
Once you start using the varoma you will love it, but just like you I 'learnt' the TM before venturing into the varoma world!!

Hi Razco, welcome to the forum.
I didn't think to use the varoma for a long time, perhaps for a couple of months. I guess I was concentrating in learning how to use the actual bowl,  but after I had the varoma demo at home I started to use it all the time.
Have fun with your long awaited TM

Welcome Razco.  If you have ever done any steaming,  that is what the Varoma does.  Have a go.  Especially good for veggies.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

I am steaming the vegies in it tonight   I figured there was no point using the steamer when the TX was sitting on the bench not in use.

Dede - I have made quite a few things so far. Scones, dip, whipped cream, pumpkin soup, chicken nuggets, stir fry veg (this was a HUGE hit!), 5 seed bread, dinner rolls, chilli con carne (we are using left overs for burritos tonight), coconut cake, custard & 2 different batched of jam!! Wow that is a lot really... basically I have only cooked in it since it arrived but I must admit I was a little scared of it initially!!

I am a teacher so made sure I had pretty much finished my reports before it arrived because I knew I'd be obsessed!!

Nazar and Cooking - good- looking - I once read that once you have kids you realise your dog is just a dog... I have not once ever thought that. I do wish I could run away with the dog occasionally. Love my fur-baby

Can anyone run me through what will happen at a demo? Mine is booked for June & I don't really know what to expect. If this info s somewhere else - just send me there! Thanks

Here's a thread and another.

Razco sounds like you have cooked a lot of new things since getting your TMX- are all of the things you mentioned in the Everyday Cookbook? I am so excited to make my own 5 seed bread (is that like Baker's Delight Cape Seed Bread?)

I agree I totally love my dog still! She gave me so much in so many ways before my daughter was born I can't understand why or how I could just stop loving her.

Question for anyone that can answer it- do you have a seperate Varoma Demo as part of the purchase of your TMX and is that done with your consultant? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum Razco,sounds as though you are having fun in your TM.

[Razco]

CGL - almost all are in the EDC except the chicken nuggets that are in the community cookbook. Yes seed bread was nice but hubby couldn't get the thought of a Polish Cake his mum makes because of the poppy seeds so no poppy seeds next time.

I still have naps with my dog

Welcome to the forum Razco. You have certainly made good use of the thermomix so far. You must give the varoma a go. I was hesitant at first also but have to agree with the others, the vegies are excellent.

Hello and welcome to the forum Razco. I have 2 little fur babies and DS who is 7. My little furries are jack Russells and absolutely spoilt. Along with DH I guess I have 4 kids LOL.
It looks like you have been busy since your TMX arrived.
Take Care DG xxx
