News about Thermomix / Re: List of Demonstrators

People hate to see orphans Cookie1 so I'm sure they will adopt you - besides that, if they are new to the game, look at how much you can teach them ;) ;) ;)

Chit Chat / Re: Sorbets - what fruits/flavours have you tried
« on: September 04, 2009, 02:58:22 am »
Thanks Karen, will try that. If I make a batch for myself, there are heaps of leftovers so it is going to be time consuming getting it into all those little trays but then I can see how much easier it will be to just blitz a bowlful at a later date. DH very rarely eats cold things like ice-cream or sorbet so it's great when the grand-kids come down to visit - they love it.

Can you believe I've had my TM for about 5 weeks now and I haven't made a sorbet yet  :o   ;D
You will JulieO, once our weather warms up a bit.  I haven't done one all winter either and you need a few people to share it with. I prefer it freshly made - anyone got any clues how to freshen up the frozen leftovers - it sets like ice.

Boy, have you got a walk-in freezer Kathryn :o :o :o  Still, it has to work out a lot cheaper buying it in bulk.  Can you come over for our next Adelaide get together (bring Cookie with you) - I'd love to sit and chat to you for a while and hear about a week in the life of Kathryn and her family  ;) ;) ;)

Unless we all go to her place and help her out Kathryn ;D ;D ;D  I can remember 40 years ago buying hindquarters of beef and sides of lamb for the freezer and thinking nothing of it but I'd hate to think how much it would cost today.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Such excitement!

Hi & welcome Sim.  I haven't made a lot of ice-cream but intend doing so this coming summer.  Here are 2 links using frozen custard - may give you some ideas/method.

Introduce Yourself / Re: new to thermomix

Hi Cathy, welcome to the forum.  We all have disasters from time to time (even now) but you will soon learn which are the best recipes to try and which to leave alone.  Once you get around to converting your own favourite recipes you will be wrapped.

Like Kathryn, I don't seem to get to sit down and see much news these day and don't know what is happening to bread either ??? ??? ??? Sounds scary :o :o

Spice Mixes / Re: Chopped Garlic to store - from vivacity
« on: September 03, 2009, 02:57:13 pm »
Cathy I freeze my garlic cloves (do a bagful at a time, easy to peel them in the TMX on reverse) removing the green centre part.  It makes life so much easier just to grab how many you want out of the zip-lock bag and throw it into the TMX.  We had a huge discussion on the forum a while back.

Spice Mixes / Re: Vanilla Extract - from Shayla
« on: September 03, 2009, 02:49:33 pm »
When my girls took me to America a bit back and we did a bus tour to Tijuana (just over the border and into Mexico), I noticed (apart from the zebra striped painted donkey everyone was having a photo taken with!) that there were signs everywhere advertising the sale of bottles of pure vanilla essence.  Apparently it was really cheap but I only used to use imitation vanilla essence back then and couldn't understand their obsession with the real thing.  Anyone know why they were making such a big deal of it - do they grow the beans there I wonder?

Thanks for trying them CP63 - yes they are expensive but good for special occasions. Lamb is a luxury these days unfortunately.

Does it taste like and have the texture of soft-serve icecream?

Hi Sylvia, welcome to the forum.  Glad to see you've already been browsing and now you have another 2 weeks to do more reading and printing so you will be fully armed with knowledge and recipes you want to try by the time your TMX arrives.  Hope to see you report back once you start cooking and trying different things - reviews are so helpful to us all and I'm sure this is what encourages others to try recipes too.

You just scrape the seeds out at the end of that period? I can't believe it is so easy to make vanilla extract - would save a lot of money the way I seem to go through it (and I don't even bake a lot!)

You are doing really well JulieO - not frightened to try anything ;) ;) Love your feedback too, thanks for that.
