Chloe from Victoria
« on: May 30, 2011, 03:32:46 am »
Less than 50 hours to go!

Picking up my Thermomix Wednesday afternoon, very very excited!!

I'm a library worker from the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. A couple of my family members have TM31's and I hosted a demo last Friday. I've been lusting after one for 4 months now. My wonderful husband has given in to 'make me stop going on about it'. I am hoping he will learn to love it  ;)

The classic question of 'What should I make first?' has been keeping me awake at night. It's a slow pleasurable torture waiting, waiting, waiting....

The sorbet and custard are instant gratification, without a doubt, but after those, you should try and get some stock concentrate happening because it opens up a whole heap of savoury recipes to you - soup, risotto, pasta. The time is right for soup, and you won't believe how easy soup making was until the tm. Have fun!

Great idea Thermoheaven! I am going to start a list on paper and I think the stock should go up the top! :)

It's fantastic soup, risotto, pasta weather at the moment! Mmmm I cannot wait!!

Hi Chloe and welcome to the forum!

I can highly recommend the pumpkin soup in the EDC for a new owner (of which I am one) and of course the vegetable stock concentrate is a great place to start and you will use it again and again.

Thanks for the welcomes and suggestions!

I've been trying to find things to do to keep me busy so I don't think about Thermomix 24/7. Just got back from a long overdue haircut, the time always gets away from me and I don't mind my hair getting long-ish.

Now I'm off to watch some Stargate with DH! :)

Hi Chloe, welcome to the forum.  I'd be spending my time browsing the recipes on the forum, making a shopping list and printing out a few recipes to start with. That way you will be all set and ready to go once the machine arrives.  My DH is also a Stargate fan  :-)) :-))

Hi and welcome to the forum, Chloe.  You will certainly find so many things that are a must on the forum posts - your excitement is very understandable especially when you are surrounded by like minds.  :)  :D  :D

Yay! 40 hours to go!!

It sounds like a few of us have geeky DH's ;) I'm a bit of a nerd myself, the TM certainly seems futuristic and I just can't get enough of it :D

It's really nice hearing from all you like minded people. A lot of people I've told cannot understand why I get so excited about the TM. It's nice to know that you were all eagerly anticipating your machines arrival and that you are still passionate about this amazing little appliance.

The list making is coming along nicely. I've got lots of ice going. I think I've got everything for a batch of bread. Going to grab some fresh veges tomorrow. I've been sorting my pantry out a bit today as well. I'll have to wait till I get the EDC before I know exactly what to make but I'm hoping to have all the basics covered! :)

Hi Chloe and welcome  :)

The contents of the EDC book are on the Thermomix Australia website. If you wanted the ingredients of a particular dish, just ask and the next one around is sure to help you out   ;D

Welcome Chloe. It's sooo exciting when your TMX arrives. I suggest you clean the house now because you won't want to leave the kitchen to do it after the TMX arrives  :o :o
My DH & I both Stargate fans  ;) ;)

Thank-you all! Yay everyone is so lovely and helpful :D

26 hours to go!  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Faffa; I've downloaded the iphone app 'my recipe index' which although doesn't have quantity and instructions, it does have what is in each EDC recipe. So I can make sure I have the correct veges for the stock concentrate, etc.

hehe Thanks Jan, the house is still mostly clean from hosting the demo on Friday. The exception is half of the pantry spread out on the kitchen table while I am sorting things, but that should be done today. Then work tomorrow morning and picking TM up in the afternoon! *happy dance*

I'm looking forward to trying the pumpkin soup knittercook! Yum yum!
