Very new owner from Arcadia Vale NSW - just 5 days!

[Suzispoon]

Hi All,
thanks so much for the warm welcomes!

I had an amazing day in the kitchen yesterday starting with my sourdough, made marmalade, carrot cake and then a curry from scratch! All were delicious.

Look forward to learning more from the forum.

I do have one question though - Is the dough mat (sill mat) worth purchasing? Are the any recommendations as to the best general cookbook for the thermie?

Thanks guys!

Suzispoon, in Chit Chat there is a thread for URL links to TMX owners with blogs which is worth checking out. Sorry I can't link at the moment.

Thanks gf, that's fine.  I will be making a phone call to my provider later and ask how much longer this changeover is going to take - I think 5 days is stretching things a bit and I am Not Happy Jan!
