Oh Gert we make an asian chicken and corn soup and whisk through an egg.  It's very popular here.

I've recently converted a Taste.com steamed asian chicken recipe for the TMX.  I cooked the rice in the basket while the chicken was cooking.  About 1/2 way through I turned the chicken a bit and added some veggies to the varoma.  Once it was all cooked I rinsed the TMX bowl and added all the juices from the baking paper that was in the varoma and thickened it with a bit of cornflour to make a nice glaze.

I've been very bad.  That's all I'm saying. 

I raced into the supermarket yesterday to buy some plain flour, I've been doing so much baking I'd totally run out!  Anyway while there I bought, 2 kg flour, icing sugar, cream, purple cabbage and a whole duck!  I know not on the list but it was market down and I was feeling adventurous.  All up $21.00

PS.  We've decided now that we love duck.

I'll make up for it next week! Unless they have duck again!   

Well I've gone over my $175 allowance for the 5 of us.  I went shopping hungry (I knew better).  I did come out with some yummy things though. Such as, king crab to have with home made pasta tonight.  Calamari as a treat for my youngest, he just loves s & p calamari.

Also bought macadamia nuts and choc chips which weren't necessary but you only live once.   

I also needed to make sure there enough things for the kids to take to school for lunches.  Youngest goes to a nut free school so it isn't as easy as a peanut butter sandwich for him. 

Groceries $184.41 plus I went to the spice bazaar and bought some spice mixes, fried onion and a heap of peppercorns.  ( I hate running out of pepper)  that was about $24.00. 

I'll make up for the $13.40 over spend next week!   

My friend has been waiting for this offer to purchase her TMX so I had a demo for her and she purchased the TMX and bought the bowl 'from me'.  I got the recipe book out of it.    Oh and the comfort that I'm an awesome friend.   

So I really did blow the budget!  In my defence everything I bought was on my list.

Meat - 71.66
Fruit & Veg - 25.53
Groceries - 48.69
Dairy - 28.63

So I spent $174.51 on food.  Which scrapes me in to the 5 in the family result. 

I also spent $33.19 on toiletries and light bulbs but their not food!   

I agree! That's awesome that your consultant could do that.

I also think that consultants should be give purchasers an EDC when the purchase to give them a bit of time to look through it and read it properly before their TMX arrives

lol, would be funny as if we did a food swap, meet & greet. 

Freezer is looking very well organised now and I definitely know what I don't need any of (besides lamb).
