G'day thermie lovers!
« on: January 07, 2014, 06:43:13 am »
Hi all, just popped in to say g'day.

I got my thermie as a Christmas gift from me ex-husband (yes u read that right lol) I am completely in love with it and have been using it every chance I get. I've found that the recipes I've tried from the book that comes with the machine sometimes leave a bit to be desired but Google is an amazing thing and there are some incredible forums (ie this one) full of tried and true recipes. :)

Can't wait to have the confidence to whip up some original dishes of my own to share with you all!

Looking forward to getting to know u guys

:)

Wow, from your ex. That is rather wonderful Lea. 
You will find the forum very friendly and cheerful. Everyone on here loves to help each other and share. Enjoy your thermomixing.

Hi Lea, welcome to the forum.  Lucky you having such a generous ex, most unusual I must say.  You are right, there are so many recipes out there from ordinary Mums and Dads all over the world - so many recipes we want to try and those with reviews are usually the best to go with.

Hi lea. It is the least he could do. Love for your  Thermomix is everlasting. Husbands not so much.

My ex gave me a first class one way  flight to Australia from NY nearly 50 years ago.  Great gift. Least he could do.

It sounds like he wanted you as far away from him as possible Gert  :D ;)

And I never heard from him again until two catholic priests  arrived on my doorstep in Sydney wanting me to fill in a book to send to the Pope so my bisexual ex could get an annulment in Rome so that he could remarry in his church.

I would love to know what he is doing now. If I could remember his name I might look him on on Facebook.

Oh shoot Gert, just had to clean my cup of tea off my computer screen.

Are you serious??? Yep I bet you are.

sorry...you just really made me laugh out loud. I am sorry that your marriage didn't work out, although I can understand why, but at least he had the bal....er... gumption to give you a ticket out.

Think hard about his name and look him up! He's either going to be completely normal and wishing he never gave you that ticket.

Or not.... :o :o

A testament to  how naive I was as a  19 year old virgin in the early sixties.  There are probably not too many of those these days.

Nope probably not Gert!
Can imagine that you grew up pretty darned quick though!

Did you fill in the book with the catholic priests Gert? (just had to ask  ;D )
