Glad to hear you are on the mend Sue but sounds like you still have a little way to go with that ankle. You are the 3rd person I know who has had a fall recently - must watch my step ;) ;)

They are a Melbourne based company and were at the Taste of Melbourne "show"last month and got rave reviews including this one http://www.theage.com.au/news/entertainment/epicure/showing-the-whey/2009/08/17/1250362021450.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1

They had a stand, but were being "promoted" by Tobie Puttock of Fifteen Restaurant.

Gretchen - thanks for the websites.  Have just had a look at them - very interesting.  I am determined to find burrata here in Adelaide though.  Will search on the weekend.

Thanks Judy.  My doctor tells me I will be in pain for at least 2 weeks.  I slipped on wet pavers which were very uneven in the city on my way to work.  Just one of those things.

Thanks also to Thermomixer for the website.  That would have been wonderful to attend.  The doughnuts sound amazing.

Well I am on my way home now to make some bread.  I love my TMX (suitably named 007).

Julie, loved that icon of it laughing.

I am calling my machine 007 as like James Bond it can do nearly everything and has all these buttons to do all different things.  Plus it kind of looks suave.  My house mate has named it Deks (or Dex) as she thinks it looks like a dalek from Dr Who.

Hey Gretchen, I can't get the Burrata cheese here unfortunately.  They used to sell it in one of the shops but not anymore.  One of the cheese specialists in the central market is looking at getting it in though as they have had a few requests for it.  So fingers crossed.

Wonder if that is because of this forum SR ;) ;)

That is a shame Judy but I am sure they will get some in if they have had requests. You may have to drive to Melbourne or you can fly up here.

Sorry SR. just realised that post was from you and not from Judy but you are invited up here too! I wonder if your cheese shop could get in touch with either of those suppliers and set something up. There would be more flights from Melbourne to Perth than from Cairns to Perth. All these good Aussie products should be available to all us foodies no matter where we live. What ever happened to all those travelling salesmen? So much good produce not making it to markets.

If I were younger I would open a good deli in Cairns with a proper cheese room, a meat room, a wine room. Oh dear I would probably then not fit trough the door!

No worries Gretchen.  Hey, nothing stopping you opening a deli at any age.  Did you see that 90 year old bar maid in London.  She is still doing a wonderful job.

I really have my heart set on that Burrata though.  I will let you know if and when (hopefully when) they get it here in South Australia.  Next time I travel to Queensland though I will certainly remember to try it.  When they did sell it I believe it was just under $13.00 for 200 grams.

Quick question.  When doing steamed vegetables and mashed potato - Which one should you do first?  I am still so new to this machine - sorry if it sounds like a silly question.

Cheers,

I tend to steam them altogether... potatoes in the basket and vegies in the varoma.. then empty jug and add potatoes to it and other ingredients and mash.  Hey presto all done.  :)

Thank you so much for that Ceejay.  Der I hadn't thought of that.  I was just thinking about cooking the potatoes in milk.  I will do that on Saturday night.  Am going to try the Hungarian Goulash.  Hope it turns out okay.

I am also going to try some savoury biscuits tomorrow to go with the dip, so I hope it is all a success.............
