My husband is terrible...

[Thermomixer]

Mmmmmm. 'Thems dangerous words Thermomixer.' It may have to be spatulas at dawn! ;D

Think I will use my Thermomix spatula for that - hand little section to protect blows from another spatula.

BTW - you are three hours behind !!

I now use TB's suggestion of post its.  My EDC is disgusting with all my notations and spills but my latest purchase, the Festive Flavour already has 5 post its in place - not my hints, I haven't even done anything from it yet, but other peoples ideas.  In a perfect world I would like a recipe book that has no need for post its or scribbles

Maybe a netbook JD that you can have all your recipes loaded onto and have it sitting on the kitchen bench.

After all the disussions on the Menu Planning thread I had to go and look it up - never knew there was such a thing, but were are behind in the country.... LOL

Maybe Thermomix will supply us all with one when we purchase their coobook in DVD format

I would like to request that they make them available for the Kindle!   I'm a big fan of the Kindle, and have purchased a few cookbooks and love that I can make "notes"  and bookmark pages when I want to make alterations to a recipe.

I love it.   I got the original, which I still have and is the one I take when I have appointments, and upgraded to the Kindle II last spring.
The books are always archived with Amazon and downloading takes less than a minute for most books.  I recently downloaded a bunch of books that I had mistakenly deleted and it took about 8 minutes to download 28 books. 
A couple of months ago I got a notice that Whispernet is now available in Australia and the Kindle could be sent there. 

It's great for me because I do read a great deal and like to read  book series one after another.   Near the end of summer I read all of the Alexander McCall Smith  books that started with:  The Number One Ladies Detective Agency. 

One great thing is being to read a sample of a book, prior to purchase.  I can usually tell within the first few pages if I am going to enjoy and story so get the free samples and download the book if I like it.   Can't do that with regular books.
Our local library has hours that are rarely handy for me.  Because of cutbacks they have reduced staff and hours.

Thanks for that. You may know that books are very expensive in Australia due to government restrictions regarding publishing. A lot of controversy on that one. Makes me cross.  I would use the Kindle mainly for travel as I carry a very small bag filled with books and not much else.  I will look into it further.

OMG - wish MrsT would do that - I had to buy her an extra case last time when I insisted we could get all into 2 suitcases.  ....and nearly had excess baggage!!  All mine was in a carry-on sized bag 

Do you wear clothes while away ?      Hope you pack your toothbrush.

These days I only do beach , books and food holidays. Usually to Thailand. One swimsuit, one sarong, one skirt,3 tops, undies deodorant and a toothbrush++++ plus at least 10 books. What more do I need?  Carry my bag on board pretending it is very light. If I can't go at least business class I ain't going. Give me QF1 to Bangkok every time. Spoiled I am.

Oh Gretchen, business class, how wonderful. We went up to Singapore business class last year.  We usually travel sewerage class. I'm like you with the books. I nonchalantly stroll on to the plane with a bag on my shoulder, little do they know it is full of books and weighs half a ton. Especially when you can buy them so much cheaper than here.

[judydawn]

Good on you Gretchen, it is the only way to go if you can afford it.  I've only ever flown once in business class to America with my DD1 and she used the frequent flyer points she had - I loved it.

I have been very lucky in the travel stakes for the past 45 years and have only ever travelled First or Business. Mind you, there are no first class flights out of Cairns and very few Business class so we have to go to Sydney to get a good flight out of Australia. Unfortunately that means we often have to travel in economy to get to the start of a journey. Sad eh?  Don't dispair girls. I was smart enough to marry an Aussie who was in the airline industry for well over 50 years. He didn't have any money and still doesn't but he did have the good connections.

I can see a good reason to buy a Kindle can't you cookie1? If you ever get on that ship Judy you will have a good library.
