I get aggro when I have parmesan cheese. It's a delayed reaction but I'm horrible to live with for 24 hours.
My kids get really bad eczema from the preservatives in ham, bacon and dried fruit.

The brown sugar is a still a good idea - we (i.e.Dean) should have left out the bicarb though. Will do next time.

Gosh - all of you are amazing! Thank you for sharing. I'm a SAHM (love it most of the time!), and about to start a new job teaching kids about frogs and their habitats. I am very excited about starting next week. For all the SAHMs out there, here's a link to a publication about SAHMs, that I was involved with a couple of years ago. I'm on the cover too, so should I put cover girl on the list as well? http://www.dhcs.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/39061/MSB_Web.pdfGood health and happy thermomixing, K3

I'm scared to use raw eggs too. I can't handle the smell or taste of them either (not fun cleaning the eggs off our house when it got eggbombed and Dean was in India!). I never use eggwhite in the sorbet and I make the eggless aioli from the Vego Cookbook when I need mayo.
Happy Thermomixing everyone!

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if it's already been mentioned but are you letting the bread rise in a warm place for 20 minutes?

Hi Everyone,
Gosh, all this FNQ talk is making me homesick! I'm a Cairns girl originally. I'll be back visiting family at Christmas and I can't wait. I'm living in Canberra now and we had a freezing day - there's snow on the mountains at the moment.
Enjoy the wonderful warmth everyone and happy thermomixing!

Hi All,
I cut the wheatgrass into one inch pieces first (so it didn't wrap around the blades) then added 3/4 cup of ice then 3/4 cup of water. It seemed to work okay but it wouldn't be the essence that people are normally used to. I also spoke to Tenina about something similiar and because of the speed and cutting action of blades, there isn't nutrient loss or damage. HTH.
Cheers,

Hi Sim,
Also check that the o-ring under the blades is completely dry and clean. Feel free to phone me if it happens again and I can listen to it over the phone or come over - that's what I'm here for :-)

Hi Everyone,
A friend sent me her opinion about the mandatory fortification and it's quoted below. This is just in case anyone wanted some more info.
Cheers

"Thanks to Food Standards Australia & New Zealand - from 16 September, all (non-organic) breads & flours sold in Australia must be fortified with folic acid. Why? - to reduce the apparently increasing incidence of neural tubes defects e.g. spina bifida. Folic acid is only effective in preventing NTD when taken 1 month before conception & during the first three months of pregnancy - at the time most women find out they are pregnant (6 weeks), taking a supplement has little to no effect. This is why the government has decided on a mass medication approach. Folic acid supplementation does not prevent all cases of NTD. Synthetic folic acid is not equal, equivalent to or better than folate (aka vit B9) from food.
Negative effects of folic acid include double risk of prostate cancer, increased risk of bowel cancer, increased risk of neuroblastoma (a very nasty cancer in young children)
FSANZ have, in their wisdom, chosen to ignore this and their website states "Based on the best scientific evidence, there is no apparent risk to public health and safety from the estimated increase in folic acid intakes due to mandatory fortification". I beg to differ. There is so much information available. Please just google (use google scholar if you want scientific articles) folic acid with the following terms: mandatory fortification in bread/flour, neural tube defects, prostate cancer, bowel cancer, neuroblastoma, NORVIT trial, folate. Even Wikipedia has an informative & balanced article on folic acid."
