Hi everyone!
« on: June 20, 2012, 11:29:40 am »
Hi, My name is Michelle and I can't wait till my thermomix arrives next Tuesday! I decided to get one after a demonstration, it is just what I had been looking for. Up until now I have been struggling with feeding my family as 2 of my 4 boys are lactose intolerant and the cost of a lot of these foods is very pricey and limited. ( food might be sold as dairy free but have heaps of sugar and additives included).

I have been browsing heaps of the recipes and can't wait to try them out! any hints would be appreciated!

 :)

Hi Michelle, welcome to the forum.  The Thermomix is wonderful for people wanting to make their own lactose free milks and save a fortune in the process.  Check out this list from Superkitchenmachine - you will find links there taking you to Tebasile's Kitchen and Quirky Jo's blog which I'm sure you will find interesting.

Thanks for the welcome!

Wow I had no idea there were so many types of milks! Quirky cooking website looks awesome, lots of reading for me to do!

Can anyone tell me where they source their ingredients from? Health food shops or online?

Hi Mishyanne. Welcome  to the forum. Your TMx will be a great help with your kids. You will be amazed.

I just have to say here though, and I know everyone is  gunna scream at me but milk comes from cows. Every other so called milk is not real milk but a made up drink  which I guess could be called fake milk or milk like drink.

OK start shouting me down. I can take it.  Come on five it to me.

Let them drink water then.  Or how about  a nice almond, rice and soy decafe latte with rapadura loc cal de sanitised no added protein spinach shake?  ;D

Hi Michelle and welcome to the forum.
A TM will be a huge help for you and your boys. This forum is amazing for lots of ideas and recipes. I can't help you with the lactose intolerance but I know other people will certainly point you in the right direction.
As I'm sure you may be able to help others in the same situation :)

Welcome Michelle. You will find it much easier to make things using your TMX.

Gert, isn't that what we are drinking on the retreat?

Hi Michelle,
   Welcome to the forum.
I am fascinated with your Username as my name is Anne and my cat is Mishy! And he doesn't bat an eyelid when I use the TM and he is right next to it. And this happens many times a day as I am totally besotted with my TM. In fact I am now so boring I am surprised anyone still speaks to me!

Swanscook a lot of us have this problem. Friends get this glazed over look if TMX is mentioned.
