Hi from Canberra

[Rowyfo]

Hi, I'm Rowena and live in Canberra. No Thermomix, but a demo coming my way next Thursday.

I have been eagerly making my way through the site soaking up all the info.

I also know Karen (Brazen) from about a million years ago (OK, maybe 5)

I look forward to getting to know you, and to picking up more tips!

Hi, I'm Rowena and live in Canberra. No Thermomix, but a demo coming my way next Thursday.

Welcome on board - is Karen (one of the others in Canberra) doing the demo?

I also know Karen (Brazen) from about a million years ago (OK, maybe 5)

Just seems that long I guess when you have somebody with so much energy around you 

 

I look forward to getting to know you, and to picking up more tips!

Hope you'll be sharing some of your tips soon too !! 

[Rowyfo]

Yes, Karen will be doing my demo I was v. happy to know that someone was now demo-ing here, I thought they would have to come from Sydney 

I know Brazen from my scrapbooking and little baby days. She gets around does that Brazen

Right now I am LOL @ trying to translate a cookbook - fragmentation hand grenade anyone?

Hope I will have some tips to share soon too!

[Thermomixer]

What sort of cookbook are you trying to translate???

[Rowyfo]

It's Spanish, one I found on 4shared from a link here... 4.800 Recetas Thermomix

I figure in 4800 recipes there has to be something I want to try

HI rowy!!! long time no see (actually i spied you on facebook a month or so ago via a mutual friend, though i forget who now lol)

you'll LOVE your thermomix, enjoy your demo!

(actually i spied you on facebook a month or so ago via a mutual friend, though i forget who now lol)

Probably Rebecca C

I am looking forward to the demo a lot. I only discovered TM a week ago and it took me about 5 minutes to decide we neeeeeded one.

[Thermomixer]

Hope you are using Google translator or similar - takes some time - but the good thing is most recipes have Time Temp and Speed (or vel) and that makes it easy.    Sort of !!

[brazen20au]

no, i don't have her on my FB!

[Rowyfo]

I used a site through MS Word and the 600 page document was translated in about 4 minutes It doesn't make a lot of sense in parts but I can get the gist of it thank goodness.

I am sure that a lot of what I will want to try will be in the standard cookbook anyway. My first mission is hummus, which we are doing at the demo anyway. I butchered it in my $10 Woolies special mini food processor Still tastes good if you can completely ignore the texture 

Karen, if not Rebecca then I have no idea. I can't see who your FB friends are with your privacy controls. Canberra is so small, I frequently smile when I see who is friends with who.

I know how you feel - I started out by trying to translate from Spanish and Italian sites because there was nothing much in English (except for Karen, of course!!!)

I have a book in Spanish that I would love to translate - but it really takes time to sort out some of the bits that aren't translated properly with the automatic gizmos.  Sometimes the translations are so funny - keep you amused.

Please feel free to post your "translations" here and ask the likes of Amanda (bron) - they "habla" every day. 

[brazen20au]

rowena, i have worked it out - your alter-ego  has 2 friends in common with me, scrapping people. Donna D and Jo C. but not sure why i was looking through friend lists to find you, i am not generally a stalker 

[Thermomixer]

Scrapbooking too .  Where do you find the time   (that's panting)  I'm truly exhausted now.  How is the work front?

[brazen20au]

i hardly scrapbook at all now (since having #3 tbh), just a little stamping / cardmaking mostly.

don't ask about jobs...

[Rowyfo]

Ah yes, I have 2 profiles... but I truly do mean to get rid of one! Just have to clear out the goodies from some applications. I am glad you figured out who the friends were. Now we can sleep at night. 

I do digital scrapping now, much better especially on the mess front.

The translations are certainly mind boggling.

I can be replaced the 2 you exceed of leavening by 3 soda waters d papelillos to my personally likes but thus.

The eggs and the sugar are fought 4 minutes, to 40º at speed 3. One becomes to beat 4 minutes at speed 3. One weighs the cream and he himself weight of oil and bat 15 seconds at speed 3. The flour lies down and the leavening and becomes to beat 10 seconds at average speed 3 and. It is put in a lubricated mold and one puts in the furnace previously warmed up 30 or 35 minutes to 180º

Whatever
