Another Thermie in Adelaide

[Honey joy]

Hi all!

After many months of pondering,forum stalking, blog browsing and all over web wandering I finally ordered my Thermomix last weekend! My delivery demo is scheduled for Thursday afternoon and I can't wait- I've been driving DH mad with my wide eyed enthusiasm and prolific bookmarking of recipes to try.

Looking forward to sharing my successes and failures with you

Hi and welcome to the forum Honeyjoy - it is great that you have discovered the next best thing to the kitchen wonder in this forum.  Your research and readings would have provided you with a wealth of information, looking forward to hearing of your TMX adventures

Hi Honey Joy, welcome to the forum.  Some Adelaide forum members got together yesterday in town for a get together, perhaps you can join us next time.  Sounds like you have done your homework and are ready to go - Thursday won't come around soon enough for you.  Get your housework all up to date because you won't have time for that once the thermie arrives

Welcome honey joy,you will enjoy having like minded people to share your enthusiasm.  It's hard to stop raving but some people get fed up and can't understand.

Thanks everyone! It is so wonderful to read of everyone's passion here for good food.

I'd love to come next time Judydawn- I did read about the Adelaide catch up in advance and thought of popping in but thought it could be a bit weird having someone random attend who had never posted and didn't even have a Thermie yet! 

I went to the farmers market this morning and went a little berserk buying a heap of produce for the veggie concentrate (thanks cream puff)  and all the lovely soups I'm going to make.  I bought more eggs than usual for all the baking, as well as almonds, dried fruit...

I couldn't help thinking differently when browsing the stalls -every item begged the question "what would my Thermomix love to make out of you?"

Has anyone got any tips on how to not put on 10kg in the first month of Thermie ownership? 

[judydawn]

Honey Joy, we would have welcomed you into our group but never mind, next time perhaps.
How NOT to put on weight - stay away from the cakes and dessert threads - if you can .  Some members bake a lot but just don't eat too much themselves so maybe this is the way to go.

Welcome honey Joy. Shame you didn't go to the Adelaide get together- they would have welcomed you with open arms

[Honey joy]

Thanks everyone for all the welcoming messages.

I'm so very excited 'cos my consultant Is delivering my Thermomix today at 3pm!  I'm ready to go- gaffer tape thanks to CP's suggestion and gym workout planned as well as a fully stocked fridge and pantry of course. Might need to set an alarm for tonight to remind me to get out of the kitchen and go to bed...

Hurry up 3pm!!!!

We'll all be thinking of you at 3.00 pm this afternoon, HoneyJoy.  Have a great afternoon.
