Hi Penny,
I also bought my TM sight unseen and was a bit nervous when it arrived. But it is the best decision I ever made and it is easy to use.
I use it multiple times a day, actually enjoy cooking now (a miracle) and have hardly used my stove or pans since it arrived.
I also thought of giving my Vitamix and Magimix to my daughter (my other daughter already has my older versions of these) but I feel like I am giving her something second rate and that she should really have a TM! If I can ever afford it I would like to buy them both a TM.
Have fun and welcome,
Anne.

Delivery is tomorrow...how exciting!  My birthday is in 5 days so I think I'm set for a gift.

I made boloagnaise today and we  quadrupled the recipe, so imagine me cutting up 4 onions, 400g bacon, celery etc.   I ended up getting out the food processor and then made pasta too, the whole time thinking next times make all this it's thermomix time!   I am going to make bechamel sauce late tomorrow or Friday and pasta for lasagna, any hints are much appreciated.

I'm very excited!

Enjoy your TM. I almost hyperventilate when I don't get to use my TM, especially when I'm away and haven't taken it with me. You'll learn to dream about what recipes you can create and make all the time!

It's here, mother and child both doing well. 
We made the concentrate (halved the salt and will freeze inPortions)
Lemon cake is cooking in the oven and rice is now brewing away.
The machine is much noisier than I expected, oh well.

My kids said the concentrate smelt good...my kids don't eat veggies so what a positive first comment.

My actual demo is on the 26th once school goes back and I think I'll book a veroma demo in may all going well.

Yippee

Woohoo Penny, what a way to get started. Your new little baby girl is hard at work all ready. Have you named her yet?

Can't think of a name...she certainly is spoiled though.
All this attention!
Today I made porridge, focaccia, cookies, hommus and meatballs (chicken)
Tried to make tahini and failed, used store bought stuff.
Oh pizza dough last night!  My pantry is going to be bare at this rate..so far I've run out of butter, choc chips and flour.

Is there a stock standard list of basic ingredients that people have on hand?

My biggest issue is cleaning her, can see that two bowls would be an advantage.

It's hard to get everything out of the bowl, not sure if that's a left handed issue or design..

Penny, I am anxiously waiting for the second bowl promo.

As far as cleaning is concerned, it can hard to get everything out. There are new brushes for sale via Helenes website. For more information check out http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=8808.0

Also Gert has a few good ideas here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3489.0
