Hello from a recent Sydney Transplant :)
« on: July 12, 2012, 02:58:06 am »
HI I'm Beth and I moved to Sydney about 6 months ago from Brisbane. I'm originally from Chicago and moved to Australia for what was supposed to be 2-3 yrs with my dh for work. We were in Canberra for 4 years before moving to Brisbane for 8 1/2 yrs and then to Sydney. I like Sydney but I'm really missing Brisbane!

I first heard about the Thermomix about 2 yrs ago when I was talking to a friend about a pressure cooker that I got for Mother's Day (I seem to ask for and get appliances for the different holidays  :D ). I'd never heard of it before but a friend said they were all the rage in Perth. Fast forward to last winter when I friend got one for her birthday and I knew I wanted one for myself. I'd told my dh that if we had to move to Sydney he was buying me one since I surely would have a tiny kitchen and well, I ended up with both!

I'm really enjoying it and have used it to make all sorts of things and my dh and 2 girls are both starting to use it which is nice.

Hi Beth - a very warm welcome to the forum - and to Sydney!  Hope you've all settled in well down here - Enjoy your adventures with the TMX!  It really is a miracle machine - particularly in a small kitchen!  It's so good the rest of the family is joining in, too! :D

I feel weird welcoming people to the forum, because I still feel like such a newbie myself, but welcome anyway Beth! ;-)

I 've been to both Sydney & Brisbane, and I agree - I much prefer Brisbane. Especially seeing as I'm from Melbourne, the Brisbane weather is very enticing.

You'll love this forum, great recipes and great people!

Hi Beth, welcome to the forum.  I read your subject line in my unread messages and went straight to it to see which part of your body had been replaced  :D :D  Glad to read you only moved from state to state and all your bodily organs are still your own.   :D
Thanks for joining us - have a great time on here with this friendly mob.
