I met Rara today!
« on: March 22, 2012, 09:39:40 am »
So amazing! I was interviewed this morning by the Farm Weekly for an article they're doing in the Ripe magazine.
The article is about online blogs and forums and Beth, the journalist asked what it was like to meet people from forums in person.  I said it was fantastic but I hadn't had much of an opportunity to do so.
Then I went to the Galleria and saw there was a Thermomix demo. I asked one of the girls if she was on the forum and she was Rara!
So lovely to meet her and just wish I could have stayed and chatted.😃
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Wish I was staying longer, Rara, but going home tomorrow. 😔

Michele, you never know what the future might bring.  I have now been fortunate enough to meet two forum members, and it has been wonderful knowing them in person as well as on the forum.

Michele, try putting out a request for members from such and such an area for a get together - you never know who may live nearby. Meeting other members really puts the icing on the cake when you belong to this forum - no one understands us as well as someone else with a Thermomix :D :D :D

At Teninia's cooking class I met DragonGirlie, "Hi Fiona, are you back in Thailand yet?. " Yes have to agree it is nice to put faces to the names.

Rara, are you demonstrating TMX until April 7th at Galleria? Did I read correctly? If so I'll have to try very hard to come over and say hello.

That's great Rara. I have a few appointments this week but hopefully the next week. If I can get over there I'll make myself known.

It's happened. I've met Thermomix Lover. I was looking for another consultant as my consultant is taking it easy for while.
I happened to mention it at work and one of the girls said her friend was just starting out. I've now booked a demo for this coming weekend and have met the lovely Wendy. We are both looking forward to meeting more owners and having some get to-gethers.
