Abusing the Thermomix - Smoking?

[cookie1]

Poor Mrs T, I feel for her. I've learned over the years, and most of our friends know exactly what he is like. I guess it's one of the reasons I love him, even after 41 years. He calls it 2 life sentences.....

Well, after all the helpful hints on smoking - thanks again - I arrived back from my holiday yesterday. Totally fishless. We had storms, flooding, all the little things that make fishing totally unfun.

After standing on a pier for one and half hours waiting for some sympathetic flounder to nibble the bait with gale force winds belting against us, we decided to give up and walked bedraggled and disappointed back to the car. "Catch anything?", asked some really ancient man. "Only a cold," I said. He talked about how much he'd love to go fishing, his grandchildren really love fishing with him, only the wife is against it. "She has a Thermomix. All she does is play with it. The whole day." I told him there were some really good fish recipes out there for the TMX. Maybe he should buy her the relevant fish cookery books? "Oh, she has all of the books," he said. "She even has a recipe file (last two words were spat out in disgust)."

How many husbands of Thermomix owners are suffering out there?! Maybe Thermomixing is a kind of addiction. But, hey, we can stop whenever we want, can't we?

LOL oh the poor man OBVIOUSLY doesn't know and appreciate good food when he gets it 

Oh and yes I could stop tomorrow...maybe...if there was no power....I think

Good story vivacity - he could have be talking about any of us   It probably does cause some problems within marriages with the amount of time spent cooking or on the forum but I'm sure we all know how to find a happy medium and keep everyone happy. Trouble is, those who like to be fed can't have it both ways - someone has to be in the kitchen producing the food. Sorry to hear you didn't catch any fish - I know very few people who do these days, even those with boats.  I'm sure it is just cheaper to go to the fish markets to buy it than all the expenses for boat owners.

Spoken like a true addict.
I guess I recognised that because I'm the same - and loving it!!
we were away for the weekend & as it was only overnight I didn't take the TMX. I couldn't believe how lost I felt while I was preparing dinner.

I could give it up tomorrow.



Thank goodness 'tomorrow never comes'.

Well said cookie1,     Sorry to hear about only catching cold Viv.

....and some complain that all the food the Bimby produces adds inches to the waistline !!!!!   Bad Bimby - go and sit in your corner and stop making me happy ).
