My husband is really taking to using the TM5. He had the day off and I unexpectedly came home to a TMX dinner. He used both guided cooking and more impressively the Internet to make some dishes for a Mexican styled meal. I was happily surprised.. usually he is in charge of meat on the BBQ and making salad from a packet. I heard his son talking about my last demo and he said to his Dad as soon as I have a spare $2000 I am buying one too...clearly blokes find this style of cooking quite accessible.

Essie,  that is great.  Yesterday was talking to a car salesman who has a 5.   I was really surprised at what he was cooking.  Cinnamon scrolls, spaghetti Bol, and meat balls. His 4 year old son loves the machine and pulls up a stool to watch it work.

Wow! My husband only knows how to use the kettle and the toaster....  :-))
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I have the TM31 and my husband uses it  quite often. Maybe I should upgrade, he may want to use it even more!

I think I might be the first TM5 casualty - I was quickly wiping out the bowl yesterday monring after making my smoothie which is something I do every day and the blades put a decent cut in my finger. They are obviously a lot sharper than even the new blades I got earlier this year.

Also, my consultant sent me a text this morning to say my original machine has shown up at the post office. 3 weeks after it was sent from about 25km away!!

The machine showing up is unbelievable Wonder. I haven't cut myself but the blades are certainly sharper, I've come close a few times.

Speaking to someone today who also cut finger on blades.  Mine tried to poke a hole in my finger.

Thanks for the warning re the blades. With my recent luck I don't want the new toy to hurt me as well.

My thermie has taken some chunks from my new spatulas, thankfully not my fingers...yet!

Does anyone know how long it should take to arrive in Melbourne once it's been dispatched?
My consultant told me a week and a half ago that it had been dispatched and should arrive within a few days, but i'm still eagerly waiting
I hope it hasn't run off looking to make baby thermies with Wonder's walkabout one  ;)
