First, hi everyone sorry for not getting back sooner. Thank you all for the welcome, it was lovely.
Good to know there are some other SAD's floating around here (seriously SAD? ... Hmm actually probably a little apt, I do find being a SAD tough)
More a sciency type, so improvising recipes / adapting existing ones is not my thing. Prefer following explicit instructions
Zan - will invesitage, kids are very fussy. Ice-cream has to be vanilla or chocolate, not keen on Pasta other than Spaghetti Carbonara, Spaghetti Bol (and then only sometimes, last attempt on Friday, oldest wouldn't touch it, youngest ate it), Lasange, Bread, Bread, Bread and nor Bread, Fried Rice, Bacon and Breakfast Cereal
oh yeah Nutella
Judydawn - happy for referring to the girls, growing up I used to mostly hang out with girls. Preferred their company
Trudy - we are near Hamburg (Buchholz, 15km away, state of Niedersachsen). I'd probably enjoy it more if I could speak a decent amount of German but I use English with the kis all the time so I don't learn that fast and getting to a course isn't possible at the moment.
Used the Thermomix again this evening for Chicken in Yoghurt
http://bit.ly/f3w8Qw the taste was nice, though a little burny (will try again soon but probably leave the Chillies out, as it was we used red and not green as we couldn't get green) as an after taste. We just did naan bread with it, rather than rice & naan this time.
Going to try the other half of the naan dough as a pizza base tomorrow, I like thin bases, so hoping it will work out.
