Another newbie!
« on: May 19, 2009, 01:06:26 pm »
Hi - just joined today!

We got our TM - called Kermie! - last Thursday. First saw it a couple of month's ago at a friend's demo (her friend is a consultant), then I dragged hubby to another demo a couple of weeks ago. Then we decided to order one. Yaaay!

So far finding it really great and fun. Definitely more interested in cooking and hoping that continues.  :)

We have made - the vegie stock, pumpkin soup, bread, mixed berry sorbet, risotto, frothy milk, chilli con carne and our own invention - chopping up crunchie bar and mixing through vanilla ice cream. Yum!

We have bought ingredients to make some dips and also beef rendang which we will try this week.

All good so far! Looking forward to sharing ideas on here. Looks like lots of great recipes. Plus I notice from another intro some other Melbourne-ites.  :)

Jo

thermomixer maybe we should combine all the eastern states in our poll, so as to equal the size (and beat the numbers  :D) of the west aussies?  ;D :P

Welcome Jo.
What's all  this I read about combining states to beat the West-we can't have that. At the moment the things you are beating us in are football and swine flu. :-)) :-)) ;D ;D ;D

Swine flu is certainly bad over there. Sometimes there are advantages to being 'way over here' although  I have no doubt that it will soon be over here with a vengeance.

Hello again!

Just thought I better reintroduce myself....

Joined months ago but then life got in the way and haven't been on the foum. We were focused on finishing our new house and moving in and blah, blah, blah...

Anyhow, Kermie has been wonderful and we use it heaps. Definitely just now getting into cooking more and have become mildly obsessed in the last week or two in sourcing more recipes. Just putting together a folder of all the recipes I have found. Now just need to try them!

Also last week, we had a housewarming/birthday party and I made heaps of stuff which were hits! Dips, cake, chicken liver pate (just like the real thing!), and the best hit of all, chocolate salami. Yummo. Planning to make more for Christmas for family and friends.

OK - now reintroduced, shall check out the threads and start participating  :D

Jo
