TM arrives today!

[keeki]

Ok, so raced home from work and the TM consultant was here already. I felt a bit rushed but it wasn't her fault as I hit the ground running. I attempted rough puff pastry from the book. But alas it was so hard to work with and it was a disaster! My pantry was a bit depleted so I wasn't TM ready. We resorted to boiled eggs which turned out ok but hubby decided on 1 min longer and they were a little hard. We just laughed as it was an e pensive egg boiler!,

Last night was better, I made the 5 seeded bread and it was amazing! Very proud I was and I will look at another recipe for puff pastry, there is an iced one in the book. Then I made protein balls which were so easy. I have made them quite regularly in my processor but it has so many parts its a pain to clean. These turned out great too. I am just about to make butter and will try the Beeff Rendang today.

I am prepared for disasters as I can still have them with conventional cooking too! My daughter is cooking up a storm too and already is passing hints my way. What a TM team!

This is such a wonderful forum, thanks for the welcome and reassurance , you guys rock!

It's lovely to hear that you are having success and enjoying your cooking in the TM keeki 

[keeki]

Thanks Cornish Cream, I have today off to play! Just me and TM, will keep you posted on the next creation.

Yay keeki, you will be up & running in no time!! Sounds like a bit of a hiccup for a start but now good! 

[keeki]

Yes a few hiccups but I have now made Red curry paste and have pumpkin soup on and made butter this morning! I am going to attempt the Beef Rendang recipe from the book, for Sat nights dinner. I think I will make it tomorrow so the flavour can sit for a day. Always better on the 2nd day. So far so good, I will make scones too this afternoon from the buttermilk.

Keeki, you have hit the ground running, congratulations.
I'm pleased that you are sharing your adventures with us too. It is such an exciting time when you have a thermomix. Keep cooking up a storm. I laughed about the expensive egg cooker.

LOL, way to go keeki!
Sounds like you are cooking up a storm after tiny shaky start, I can just see you and your daughter having a fun TM get together.
She might like to join us on here too?
Hope you keep enjoying your new Thermie  

[Deniser]

Sounds like you are doing well keeki.  Thought about trying the iced pastry myself but have not got there yet. Keep enjoying.

[goldfish]

Wow, keeki!  No future in expensive egg cookers!!   So glad you've been able to replace it with a more versatile machine!!    You're off and running now!!  Good luck and enjoy all those wonderful things you've been able to rustle up!!

[keeki]

Well I must say when I sat down to my lunch at work today, I was quite proud of myself. I had homemade soup, bread and even the butter! I am going to make some Red Curry Chicken tomorrow, to go with the Beef Rendang I have also made.
My daughter who has just got her TM has had a bad run as her baby boy hasnt been well. She was right into her TM but it has to take a back seat at the moment. I will cook up a storm and deliver it to them for dinner tomorrow night. Any excuse to cook!

well done keeki it certainly does give you an enormous amount of pleasure knowing what is actually in the food we are cooking/eating.  I hope your dd's little one is better soon xx

[keeki]

Thanks Suzanne, yes it did make a difference knowing that what I was eating was all natural.  My d Nicole will be back on track this weekend, but as she is bfeeding she is in demand at the moment.  She just loves her TM and it was her talking about it for a year that got rme into it. It's beginning to be a family affair as both my nieces have one too.

You can't beat a happy Thermomix family keeki, bet I know what you talk about when you all get together LOL
