Another one from Darling Downs

[Snoozie]

Hello! After hearing friends rave about the TMX I decided to book a demo as I couldn't make the recent cooking class.  DH was very sceptical and said it wouldn't be worth the money and it would sit in a cupboard collecting dust.  However after the demo he was just as interested as I was!  We ordered ours yesterday and I'm impatiently waiting for it to arrive (I want it NOW darn it!).  In the meantime I'm having fun trying to source local organic produce to go with it.  I'm pretty excited about the thought of being able to make things like jam, butter, bread etc without all the added nasties. 

I have 2 daughters aged 3 and 1 and I really want to get them eating healthily and think that the TMX can only help in that. 

I think one of my first endeavours will be to use the vanilla beans I bought in a co-op a while ago! heehee  I had planned on using them to make vanilla extract as part of Christmas hampers but I've left it a little late but I'm sure I will get through it anyway!

I have been lurking around the past few days and daresay I will be posting more when the tmx arrives... I am still deciding on names... lol

Oh and my name is Susan... forgot to say that! lol

Hi Snoozie, welcome to the forum.  It certainly pays to take DHs to demo's doesn't it   Make sure your TMX sits ON the cupboard not IN the cupboard.  That way you will hear it calling you everyday to use him/her.  In the meantime, whilst you are awaiting delivery, keep browsing this site - there is so much to read and learn on here.  Have fun.

Welcome Snoozie - good to see you out of lurking.   

[Snoozie]

Thanks - I recognise your names from my lurking... I now have a favourites file of recipes to try when the tmx arrives!  I've just started a christmas hamper favourites folder too and am adding recipes there. heehee  I've always wanted to give homemade for Christmas a go and I think that might actually be achievable this year now!

Initially I was so impressed with the tmx I discussed becoming a consultant with the guy who demonstrated at our place but the next day I was offered a job and I don't think I have enough time to do it all right now although I am still interested in the concept as I can see how it sells itself but with my new job I feel comfortable buying outright and not having the stress of repaying it if that makes sense?

I have always loved cooking and tend to cook in bulk.  In recent years I have become more aware of what's in the food we eat and the more I find out the more concerned I become.  I can see the difference in my children when they've been fed up on rubbish by nanny and poppy and given my family's tendency to obesity I am wanting to give my kids the right tools from an early age so they eat the "right" foods. 

Back to recipe hunting!

Congratulations on scoring a job in the current climate - good for you.

There are a number of consultants on board and you could Private message them to get ideas - also check out the Demonstrators ChitChat thread http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1461.0

Good luck either way.

Hello to a neighbour!  Well Darling Downs is pretty big, but I'm from Toowoomba.  I know a few fellow owners up here, but most aren't on the forum (as far as I know anyway).  Sounds like our girls are about the same age, and we're both trying to do the right thing by them.  I'm gradually replacing what's in my pantry with healthier options.

Make sure you try the chocolate custard!  It's just like yogo (which I never bought) and great for the lunchbox, but with all natural ingredients.

Hi Cathy, yeah we're in Toowoomba too.

Will have to try the choc custard... the lemon custard at the demo was divine and I am so hoping it's in the book that comes with the tmx! lol

Yep, straight from the book, no tweaking necessary, although can be adjusted to taste.  But we like it exactly as per recipe.
