Huge Excitement!!!!

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

LOL - I haven't stopped thinking about that CP (as you can imagine ). I think I will keep it pretty basic so Mum can see how easy it is to make everyday food. Mum is a wonderful cook, but I don't want to bombard her. Perhaps some lunch box cooking first - choc crunch slice and scrolls? We can then cook dinner for us all.  Dad likes fairly plain food and nothing cheesy so I thought perhaps ILB's spiced sweet potato and chicken with some steamed rice and then Trudy's peaches and cream pie for dessert. That menu would involve heating, kneading, using the varoma etc.

2 machines would probably be fine if you had 2 or more people helping in the kitchen but then again maybe they would all get in each other's way.  At least you've proven that 1 machine and 2 bowls is the way to go Chelsea.
Hope Mum is not too overwhelmed with her first cooking lesson - has she watched you use yours before to know the basics of TMX cooking?

I regulzrly hsve 2 mschne here, but i have the owner of the tm too, its fun cookimg 2's. We ake loads of food.

I agree 2 bowls is the way  to go, so you do have time to load the dshwasher etc.

Have fun when you are all home together.

Happy holidays too

Very true JD.  If you had helpful teens it would be wonderful. Hopefully Mum won't be too overwhelmed.  She has watched me cook often enough but hasn't touched the machine yet.  When she babysits she often looks through my cookbooks but won't use the machine (even though I tell her too).  It will take her a week to get over the shock of having her own TM!

Hi Chelsea I may have missed it - but have you given your mum her thermomix yet?

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

Not yet Shazzy.  The TM is hidden in our bedroom at the moment.  Mum and Dad came down for lunch on Sunday but it wasn't the right time.  They had been away for over 8 weeks and wanted to play with the boys and give them their special pressies.  We won't see them for a little while now as they are away babysitting my little niece for a few days. I'm going to burst though if I have to wait too much longer to give it to Mum.

Chelsea we all share your excitement.

Me neither Marina - I used to buy the kids and DH birthday presents and give them before the day which meant I had to go out and buy something else

I am so excited!!!  I just got off the phone from ordering a second bowl for myself .  . . . and a thermomix for my Mum!!!  Woohoo! My beautiful Hubby gave me his tax return and combined with my own little thermomix savings stash I finally had enough for my big order.  I now have to wait for my parents to return from holiday so I can give Mum her big surprise. 

What a great kid!! May all our children be so gorgeous…your mum will be so happy!
