The book is Alyce Alexandra's latest Mich. AB not one of us seems to have a golden ticket. Very disappointing. I guess there was a lot of others pre ordered as well.

I saw this at the newsagent today. I figured as it was new I would buy the first one and see how it was.

I asked at our News Agent yesterday and he said he would look into it but hadn't heard of it.

I bought two new pillows with the bamboo covers yesterday and they were nice to sleep on.

I also bought the new T mix + magazine. I haven't had time at all today to read it properly, at first glance, I didn't think it was worth the $20. I will reserve my judgement till I've given it a thorough read, probably over the weekend.

Troupie, I have a couple of he bamboo pillows too, I found them too 'full' - and also hard to get pillow slips to fit!  I rotate mine about once a month with a different type of pillow.  Hope you enjoy yours.

Yes, I will see what its like as well. I've cancelled the 4 Blades as I never made one thing from them. I can go back on them tho in the future if need be. Gone are the days when there was nothing to buy relating to Thermie  ;D

I aIso bought the new Tmix magazine while out shopping today, haven't had time to have a proper look yet. I also unsubscribed from the 4 blades mag after a few months. I'm waiting for the postman to deliver the new skinnymixers new cookbook A Little taste as Asia.

That's interesting that you both unsubscribed from the 4 Blades as I did a few months ago too. I only made 2 things from the magazines and both I had been asked to test.

I was going to unsubscribe too, but I've  already paid for the next issue, once it arrives  I will unsubscribe too. I think the authors are lovely and the recipes I've tried are good but I'm  just not using it, I wish it was available in hard copy.
I've read through my TMX+ and I'm  not sure what I think of it. There are a couple of interesting recipes to try, but many of the methods are a bit longer than I think they need to be. But proof will be in the tasting!

SNAP!  Got the Asia & India today in the mail after seeing it on Facebook. I think I had better throw my computer in the bin as it causes me to spend so much money  :-\

$20 for the TMix book is very expensive, but I suppose there will only be 4 throughout the year and it doesn't feel like a cheap publication. It has some very interesting articles relating to food in general, and in particular because it is TM related there is a lot of relevance to this style of cooking. There is quite a bit of reading there, so its not a 5 min throwaway trashy magazine (which cost about $5 ea)

Mine arrived today too. I like the look of the pork belly.
