A late welcome Linda from another one south of the river.

Thanks Cookie and all the others who welcomed me too!

Had my demo yesterday and I'm still in love with this thing...  Had a few friends who were VERY sceptical and won most of them over.  My little sister thinks it's a waste of money but that's ok - I put in my order and will have it very soon,  I've researched this for months and am convinced we've made the right decision.

Can you all let me know what was the very first thing you made in yours? Did you go all out and make a meal or start easy and do the sorbet?  I've got a million dishes in my head!  All hubby wants to make is bread, I can see all the kilos we've just lost going straight back on again......... :(

I was concerned I had wasted a lot of money until my machine arrived and I started using it.  Now I absolutely love it.  Many of my friends and family members still seem to think it is overpriced, but they don't see the workout that it gets on a daily basis and all of the amazing things it does!   ;D

Well - guess what I have on my bench, and today is my 40th birthday!!!

O happy me!!    :D :D

Last night made the butter chicken and seriously wanted to stick my face in the bowl and lick it clean....
Hubby made bread, I made a cake for work (not very successful though) and this morning hubby converted our favourite choc cake for the TMX and it was sensational!!!  The girls at work were impressed.

ALSO - I ordered a bench top pizza oven from FlyBuys and it arrived today so am making Megans pizza sauce right now and will do the dough for it soon.....

Love love love this thing......   :D

Happy birthday Linda - perfect surprise for a 40th.  I think you are going to really get the best out of this machine from what I have read so far.  Nice to see DH into the converting of recipes already - how clever is he 8) 8)

Ok - so we are now officially "goin off" in the kitchen! ;D

Have made enough bread for hubby to go back into the baking game I think...
I've cooked, whizzed, blended, steamed, processed and kneaded myself silly these past few days and am only just starting!  Had a group of girls here this morning and have all of them coveting my new baby....    :-*

Gotta start writing down our conversions now so we can remember how to do them again!

Well done Linda, looks like we might be getting a few recipes coming from your kitchen very soon. Don't forget to do some recipe reviews too if you are just following those from the cookbooks and some comments under forum recipes would be appreciated too.  :-* :-*

Hi Linda,
 just discovered that website today and found your messages. I am also south of the river and got my TM just before Christmas. I cooked so much during the Holidays, breads, jams and all, had already 2 demos for my friends, really love it and the entire family is under the spell.
Have lots of fun.

Hi to you cathmomix10 - welcome to the forum.  Glad you finally found us and that all is going well with your TMX - 3 months on and you know all the good things this little wonder can do. You will find heaps of lovely recipes on this forum and now you have soooo much to chose from, you won't know where to start.

Hi to you Cath!  Yep - we are totally under the spell here too..

Judydawn - I need to familiarise myself with writing reviews.....?  I'm still a bit of a techno dummy   ???

I have tweaked a lot of EDC recipes - ie WAAAAAYYYY too much salt in the bread dough for our liking and it retards the yeast.  I made awesome rolls the other night for the kids lunches - will learn how to post photos.  (If I can drag myself away from my machine long enough that is!)

Note to self - cheddar cheese does NOT take very long to grate....  And brown rice doesn't work in the risotto.....   :-[
