Introducing myself - PennY
« on: April 04, 2012, 02:32:03 am »
Hi everyone, I joined the forum yesterday after making a snap decision to purchase a TMX.  Sight unseen, no demo!  That's how good the reviews and discussions on the net are,  I'm impatient to get cooking as is my youngest daughter who wants to ae lemon tart ASAP.  I had ths brain wave that all my appliances that will now be unused and I plan on storing them for my kids when they move out..issue being, they will want TMX too!   I'm a bit apprehensive that I've just purchased a very expensive bread kneading machine ( my hubby loves making pasta, pizza and bread so he is set).  I've been searching the kids recipe thread and can see lots of school treats to be made too.   One recipe Im Searching for is coleslaw, without much luck!   Anyway...I'm sitting here in anticipation of delivery which will be post Easter, I have to gab to friends to be wowed by my purchase then I get the thermomix server too..

hi penny and welcome u r right in saying that the kids will want a TM i know my lot would love one. making pasta and pizza dough is a
walk in the park so DH will be very happy. i will try and find a coleslaw recipe for you. or u can go to the home page and type in  ,coleslaw.

Welcome to the forum ,
My best advise I can give you is always leave your TM on the bench and you will find you will be using it all the time. I am fairly confident that you and your DH will absolutely love the TM as the rest of us do.

And as for the coleslaw you are going to be amazed by how quickly you can whip up a coleslaw with very very little effort. (something like 10 seconds and your done) lol
The Coleslaw recipe is in the Every day cookbook that comes with the TM.

Hope you get your TM nice and quickly. :)

Welcome Penny, you will love your new purchase.  When making the Coleslaw be careful not to over blend it happens so quickly, also try the beetroot salad that is in the same book, very yummy.

Thanks for the welcome, I'd forgotten I get books.   10 second recipes are just mind boggling to me!  I just cut an onion up to use in my lunch.with a knife...how old fashioned!

Hi Penny, welcome to the forum.  No procrastinating with you  :D :D :D  You won't regret your snap decision though and already you seem to know exactly what you want to make first. When I make coleslaw using 200g cabbage, I only chop it for 3 sec/speed 4 - it takes longer to get everything out of the fridge than it does to make coleslaw so be careful not to over chop.

I've made coleslaw before in the TM, but my preference is cabbage sliced in long fine strips.

Welcome Penny. You have made a life changing decision. I wanted to break up some biscuits for a cheesecake base a while ago, it took less than 3 seconds to do 250g biscuits. Fantastic machine.

Hello and welcome to the forum Penny. Chookies 2 second salad is a winner in our house. We all like this much more than coleslaw.
Another of Chookies tips (there are many great tips here at the forum) is to make your mayonnaise/dressing first -
don't clean the bowl - then make your salad using up the dressing left in the bowl. Happy Thermomixing.
