Hi all
« on: July 15, 2009, 03:18:55 pm »
Hey there, 

my name is Karen and I live in Melbourne's wonderful and wild west with my hubby, two grown up daughters (son has left home), my 4 year old grand daughter, two mad dogs, two equally mad cats and a cockatoo that has it's own psychological issues.

I saw the Thermomix on Mastechef, did quite a bit of googling which impressed me with the capability of this machine.  Showed hubby a few videos and comments and he is very keen also on the machine (he is more a kitchen gadget person than I am, although I am into gadgets of every other kind).

Looking forward to getting to see a machine in action and to be able to purchase said beastie.  Anything that makes meal times less of a trauma in a time poor household has got to be a good thing in my view.

Welcome sianon/jenna/Karen - LOL - I'm just down the road - in the wild, wild west of the greatest city in the universe.

Have you managed to contact a consultant?  I believe there will be a class in Hoppers Crossing on August 4th. 

Editted after reading in the fingerpaint section :  I now see that, yes you have, and that you knew that !!!

Welcome to the forum and the TMX world sianon - nice to see the appearance on MC is bringing us a few new owners and interested people.  See, advertising does work!

Well hubby and I are off to a demonstration this afternoon, so hopefully we will have our machine within a few weeks.  So far I have found this to be a friendly and informative site.

Thermomixer, compared to that OTHER cooking forum, this is an absolute haven of sensible and grown up people :).  Nice to know you are so close by if I should need any assistance :)

Well it is done, ordered the machine today.  Hubby was very impressed as was I and I suspect that he may even be about to start to spend more time in the kitchen.  On the way home he was talking about how how he would modify the sorbet recipe that Jane prepared as well as the bread rolls.  He also asked "does this mean I will have a decent spaghetti sauce made" :)

This sounds very exciting. TMX seem to have very positive effects upon the male of the species!
