LOL Michelle!
I think that those of us who live a certain way are just more likely to be the types to buy a machine which does the things a thermomix does
Ok Here's how I made my Grandma's pumpkin pie;
Made 1 batch of almond pastry but substituted hazelnuts for the almonds. Chilled and blind baked the pie shell for 15 minutes.
While that was happening I put
500grams chopped pumpkin into the bowl 15 seconds speed 7
added 1/2 a cup of water and cooked for 13 minutes 100 deg speed 2
let it cool completely then add
1/2 tea cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger and a pinch of salt
add one can of condensed milk
4 eggs and 1/3 cup raisens. Mixed it all up 10 secons speed 3 reversed. Poured into pastry shell and baked for 1 hour at 180 degrees.
