Hi MamaMix
Pumpkin soup from EDC book and lovely bread rolls is nice for the cold weather at the moment :)

Welcome.
It is exciting.
I've had mine since April and my second bowl came this week. I found one bowl was not enough.

It is such fun trying new things after a lifetime of cooking and there are so many good things in this forum, lovely recipes and lots of help from so many lovely people

Enjoy !

I like the sound of the seafood risotto, and pumpkin soup too!! I'm still waiting IMPATIENTLY for the arrival of my Thermomix, no word on when it might arrive. I ordered on Monday (seems like sooo much longer ago) and the consultant said it was meant to take about 5 days but she'd been waiting 10 days for one... so who knows!!
My husband is going overseas in a couple of days, gone for 2 weeks, so hopefully he'll be coming back to a Thermy confident wifey :) Can't wait to make some nice lemon custard for dessert when it arrives, I'm finding myself not wanting to cook anything while I wait for its arrival, wanna save it all for then ;)

Dear MamaMix,  Just a tip to make your lemon custard perfect:  Try this tweak to the EDC recipe:  60g raw sugar, 30g cornflour, peel of one lemon (zapped for 20 secs), then add 2 eggs and 500g fullcream milk and cook 7 mins on 90 deg, speed 3.  See if you like it better than the plan flour version.  Good luck with your Thermomix journey and welcome to the foum.  :)

That sounds delicious cecilia, I will definitely give that version a try!! Do you think, when making it for kids, that I could cut down on the sugar without having to add more corn flour?

Just heard from my consultant and my TMX will be here tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning. Yaaaaay!!! :)

Haha Aussie Brenda, I feel like I've been saying that line on repeat for the last week!!!  :D
Nope, will be here tomorrow at 10 am!! Counting down!!! Still haven't worked out what I'll be cooking for dinner in it, my husband left for Europe this morning, so I've just got to please 3 kids. Thinking some sort of pasta dish. And will probably have to try some baking too. And porridge the next morning!!
Totally excited!!!  ;D

MamaMix, I make porridge nearly every morning, I make it with half Almond milk and half water it is delicious. Then top with Almond milk and honey.   Straight after dishing it up I put water in the TMX and give it a quick wizz on 8 or 9 to get most of the residual porridge out then just soak until I'm ready to wash, it is really easy to clean then, I hope your consultant gives you a brush, mine did.  Also buy your self some silicone spatula's they are the best for scraping the bowl out.  But look for firm ones I got some soft ones and they don't work as well.

Hi MM
I am getting my TMin about 2 hours.   Don't be scared ... There are a lot of us newbies... At least you know that whatever time dayor night there will be an answer on the forum, if the Aussies are in bed those in the N Hemisphere may be posting... 😄

I faced my fear Greyhoundmum, and started cooking.
Tomato soup, bread rolls, spaghetti carbonara, and pear and banana sorbet... I think we'll become good friends pretty quickly.
My only problem - I'm SO full!!!!  :o

A belated welcome Mamamix. The waiting is so very hard, especially when you come on the forum and read and see all the lovely things people have made. I'm glad yours is here.

Welcome to the forum Mamamix  :)
I am an ex-kiwi, moved over to beautiful Tasmania when we got married (DH is a Tassie - ex-Melbourneite), My family is all still in NZ and I agree, TM doesn't seem that well known over there. My mum and little sis have one each, SIL is getting one sometime, I think once they are in the family everyone wants them!! ;)
My Miss 5 and Miss 3 enjoy using TM, (under my supervision of course, TM is MINE!!)  :)
:D
