Hi from Vic Park

[schmendy]

Hi there, I'm Wendy, from East Vic Park in Perth. Woo hoo! So excited - my thermomix was delivered last night! We made a pumpkin soup for dinner and the custard for dessert, since my partner didn't go to the demonstration and he *needed* to see it Actually, you should have seen his eyes bug out after chopping onions for a few seconds. Very funny, and I think his words were "WHAT? I'm never chopping an onion again!"

I stumbled across this forum while searching for reviews when I was considering buying a thermomix. Really impressed by all the tips and recipes and sense of community on here

*sigh* best go to work. All I want to do is stay home and play on it now!

Hi Wendy and welcome to the forum and the land of Thermomix. I can imagine how difficult it must have been to go to work and leave the new Thermomix. I hope you have fun with it and feel free to ask questions here.
My DH used to live in East Vic Park.

Welcome to the world of TMX and especially this forum - I have gained so much in the 5 weeks since owning my machine. It is unfortunate that the new school term got in the way of my constant visits to this forum - it become a way of life over the QAld school hols.

Cheers

Methinks I'm going to spend the whole weekend cooking

I had lots of fun with "Trevor" (he's had a name change - this one will stick!) over the weekend. Made steamed puddings, rum balls and vitality balls for a birthday present, red onion relish, mizuna pesto, more pumpkin soup and berry sorbet. I'm having so much fun with it! Everything was absolutely delicious, except for the pesto, which was a semi-success...mizuna has taken over my vege garden (to the point where it's enveloping all my seedlings!) and I've been trying to find ways to use it up. Unfortunately my partner isn't the greatest fan of the taste. Used a heeeeeap of it in the pesto, with silverbeet instead of spinach (also growing rampant right now!) and some token greek basil. It turned out a bit 'grassy' tasting but still nice with some parmesan. Kinda like freshly mowed grass with a twist and a peppery finish We finished our pasta though so it must have been ok

It sounds as though you've had a fun, busy weekend. Well done.

Sounds like Trevor had his work cut out. Shame about the mizuna pesto.  wonder if you could get some rocket or more basil to help improve the flavour?  The nuts & cheese aren't cheap.
