Styler must have been very pleased with herself Allen. She certainly looks as though she is enjoying herself.

Yes Cookie she was, at first she was a little nervous specially when she had to chop the chocolate and the TM5 startup but ones she got pass that it was down hill from there.

Cookies Better than the ones I made 

Today Skyler made a batch of Chocolate chip cookies from the basic cookbook, with the following changes, make note Gals and Guys, she used GP flour, reduce the sugar by 1 oz .(05 brown and 0.5 white) increase the dark chocolate chips to 7 oz and we reduce the cook time to 11 minutes. These cookies are a home run. They are soft, have a raise to them, and look picture perfect. Yes my DGD out did me. 

Cookies

Today I baked the Chocolate chip cookies from the basic cookbook, I follow the recipe except I use whole soft white wheat, 60 seconds, speed 10, (GP flour is made from soft white) I also add a tsp of dough conditioner. I was happily surprised how well the TM5 chop the wheat to a fine flour. Using the TM5 made making the cookies a breeze. I them drove to Shallen’s one of my DDs, house there I had some of my grand-kids waiting to enjoyed grandpa’s surprise. As Conner the 5 year old said they are yummy.

Sykler my 13 year old granddaughter is spending the weekend here and she will be making another batch of cookies tomorrow on her own (grandpa) will only be looking in the background. I also have cupcakes to make for a birthday party Alexandra one of my 11 year old grand-kids I have 3 grand-kids that were born the same year. Kaleb, Alexandra, and Nicholas.

Edit: I add the chop time for the flour

Hi Gert,

Thanks for sharing superkitchenmachine.com first time I have been there. The following that the TMX has, might be the best part of owning one, with web sites like this one and some many others, the world becomes a little smaller. We all get to share great food recipes and by cooking them we all become a little closer together.

New England clam chowder (my way)

I have been looking to make some New England clam chowder so I read the basic cookbook recipe and have been looking recipes up on the web. I did not have all the ingredients for the TMX cookbook so I pick one off the web but it was a stove top recipe, so it was time for me to mix the cookbook and the web to make it My Way, it started with a basic soup base onion, carrots and celery then I add potatoes, next came some GP flour, butter, half and half, red wine vinegar and finish it with salt, pepper and clams. I had some hiccups and need to work on the ingredients measurements, cook times and temperature, but when it was done I had a bowl for lunch. My DW had some with her dinner, her first comment was it’s not bad, but after dinner and she was done she told me that she like the chowder. With a little more work I should have a working recipe to share.

For dinner I pull a bag of leftover spaghetti sauce out of the freezer from last week, after cooking the spaghetti in the TMX I dump the hot water into a bowl and drop the bag of sauce in the bowl using the hot water to reheat my sauce, there you go another complete meal cook by my TM5.

Thermilover, Thanks for reading and comments, you are right about reducing the sugar, sounds like my sister. But I love to eat and I cook with sugar, whole eggs and real butter.

Hi Cuilidh

Thanks for reading, it's been fun trying out my my TMX. I have been trying to stay with the book recipes as close as possible so I can get a taste of what others are cooking. Then I am planing on making changes as I need to keep my DW happy. Risottos is on my list to try.

Well done Allen. Bread making is my favourite pastime. I'm afraid I tend to eat it too.

Thanks, cookie I share your pastime, and by your user name I beat you make one great cookie too
