Hello from Adelaide
« on: October 02, 2009, 09:15:29 am »
Hi all

My name is Heidi. I am borrowing my parents TM while they are away on holidays for 2 weeks. (Can't afford my own yet.)

I've joined the forum because I'm getting frustrated with every second recipe I do because of mistakes, omissions and lack of testing in the recipe books.

Look forward to partcipating
Heidi

Hi Heidi, great idea to find us.  Make the most of the TMX whilst you have the chance and then move house so your parents won't be able to find you to get it back ;) ;) ;) ;)  It would be a great idea to print off heaps of recipes from the forum for them to use when you do decide to give it back - you can never have enough recipes to choose from and ours have been tried and tested.  Enjoy your 2 weeks - you will miss it once it has gone.

Hi Heidi - the secret is slower and less time than it says for chopping and often slower and longer times for cooking - good luck and hope we can help.  :-* :-*

Hijacking the TMX-Good job. Have fun in the next 2 weeks. Tell you parents you will invite them to dinner a couple of times a week if they let you keep it!! ;) ;)

Welcome Heidi!!  ;D

I'm wishing you good luck in being able to give it back when they return!!  :o

Hi Heidi, welcome  :) get plenty of practice in now so that when you have to give it back you can become a consultant to earn one of your own!!  ;) :D

Welcome Heidi. What a fantastic way to get some use from a TMX. I wonder how you will feel about giving it back. Could you say 'the dog ate it' or something similar?

Hi Heidi (from one Adelaidian to another).  Welcome to the forum and I hope you get some enjoyment and ideas from it.  I did a zucchini slice on Saturday and think I will do the vegetables on a lower speed so it is a little chunkier - but it was still very very nice.  I think Thermomixer's idea is a good one - (the secret is slower and less time than it says for chopping and often slower and longer times for cooking)

It was good of your parents to lend it to you but you will find it hard to give it back I am sure.  It isn't anything they will forget about either unfortunately.  I think Very Happy Jan might be onto something though - promise to have them over for dinner if you can keep it.

Good luck
Sue from Adelaide

Time to ask you how you are going with the TMX Heidi - having any successes yet? Would love to hear back from you in this regard.

Hi Heidi. We are all worried that you have gone into hiding with your borrowed thermomix.  ;D ;D ;D
