conversion quiz!

[CarolineW]

I usually look through the EDC and find something a little similar (eg: if converting a meat recipe, I find a meat recipe to see an example of how to cook it), I then fly by the seat of my pants but record AS I am doing it (not before or after cooking).

Then, at the end, I jot down changes I would make next time to perfect it   

You're just showing off, Marmee    I dream of being that organised ....

I voted early on in this poll but have just realised I didn't add a comment so here goes.  I read a recipe right through then write down the whole recipe to how I think it should be converted for the TMX. I can't seem to look at any recipes these days without my little mind doing conversions. When I start the cooking, I just follow my 'new recipe', re-adjusting and recording any changes to my times as I go. I then re-write the recipe which has become very messy at this stage and if it tastes good, come into my computer and let you all know about it

Wow    - I think the crown of organisation goes to you JD!! 

[judydawn]

Well thank you ILB - that is so nice of you.

[Thermomixer]

Wish I was so organised JD - just read something from Geoff Slattery about doing exactly what you have outlined.  Take the recipe, write it out as you think you would do it and then go for it. 

Queen of Converters .. yeah

can we change Hero Member to say "queen of convertors"? hehe

Ohhhh I just noticed - I've hit HERO status   
That's pretty exciting!!! My heart skipped a beat, pulse raced, sweaty palms.....

(Or I need a life outside of TMX?) Nah!

[brazen20au]

[Thermomixer]

I knew you'd do that whilst I was away for the weekendILB - glad you have joined us I think it is the passion for the TMX that earns us the stars but the TMX itself is the real star.

[I Love Bimby!]

Thank you.
You're right JD - the TMX is amazing, and you can't help but be passionate about it.
Honestly I thought Hero status was 1000 posts...

Well done ILB. I'm not sure which I'm addicted to: The Thermomix or this site-perhaps both.

Last night I tried JD's way of converting and pre-planning. I'm happy to report that I think I'm converted too now 
Jokes aside - this went much more smoothly than if I had of tried converting as I went. Thank you JD!! 

[Thermomixer]

Nah - I've got a large seat on my pants - so I'll probably continue to fly by that method.   

Actually, truth is I love just looking at recipes and re-arranging them into TMX language.

I'm essentially lazy & lazier than ever since I discovered this site!!  I bought my TM because I couldn't cook - why would I start now???  Thank you to all you wonderful ladies & gentlemen who post such fantastic recipes here.  When I run out of inspiration I might attempt to convert something myself & will probably take the JD approach but definitely won't write it down - or if I did it would get covered in something wet & sticky because I am so messy!!!
