two thermomixes!! Lee's on to something with this . . . one thermomix is amazing, but two is simply awesome! My mum is away and my grade are going to make sorbet and lemonade at the school fete next weekend and I've also been baking and freezing scones with some of the kids at school (VERY strict supervision, I guarantee!) so she said I could borrow hers as well. Last night, I had a vegetarian meal bubbing away in one and honey soy chicken in the other! And tonight, I had the pasta and cauliflower for Judydawn's pasta and cauliflower bake in one, and the sauce in the other! Most of the time, I find one tmx enough actually, as I prepare the next thing, while the other is cooking, however, if I have two here, may as well use them, eh?!

The only thing better than a thermomix in the kitchen is . . . someone to follow along behind me and do the clean up.

i was wondering what would be better than a tm in the kitchen, and i did think of exactly those two things mentioned - another tm and someone to do my bidding, lol

I was really spoiled during the years I had a live-in, part time housekeeper. That is, she lived in my home while going to design school in L.A. - only attended school five hours a day and I provided her with a car to commute back and forth and she did all my normal housekeeping and then some.
She was from Hungary and was raised by mother and grandmother who believed a house was only clean if the floor and front stoop had been scrubbed on hands and knees. I wouldn't let her go that far but she was a cleaning terror. I kept trying to tell her she was doing too much but once she had the bit in her teeth she was going to clean till she dropped.
She even cleaned the inside of the dishwasher.
My oven looked like it had never been used and the fridge got a good going over once a week.

You can't begin to imagine how sad I was to see her off after her graduation to Milan and her dream job.
I gave her a MacBook Pro as a graduation/going away present and felt it was little enough for all she had done for me.

You were indeed lucky to have found such a little gem andie - most of us know there is more to life than cleaning, especially when you get older. It seemed more important when I was young than now but then I guess I was stuck at home with not much to do then and now there is so much to do you need more hours in a day

wow, you were spoilt! how old was she at the time?
i don't think i'd ever be so lucky.

The only thing better than a TM in my kitchen is.................ME.
We work so well together

Well, he would be pretty hopeless without an operator

Dede, I would have to agree. But after having two machines for a week or so, the only thing better than one is two Thermies singing a duet.

Maybe we should say the second best thing in the kitchen is the dishwasher!

She was twenty when she arrived and had just turned twenty five when she left. Sigh....

Her teaching coach and sponsor is a friend of mine and Anka was having problems with her roommates in the city, partying all the time and couldn't afford to live on her own. My friend brought her out here and suggested we arrange something so that she could go to school and not be continually disturbed by other young people. She had plenty of friends she could see in the city but was happy to come home to peach and quiet. She also loved having access to my kitchen. Her mother came to visit twice during the four + years she was here. Lovely lady, spoke no English but was a great cook and that language is universal.

DH's response to this was an 18 year old blonde housekeeper. I told him he wouldn't know what to do with her and she could outrun him anyway. Men.................gotta luv 'em.
