Title: Newbie from South Wales
Post by: Welsh Rarebit on November 06, 2013, 04:45:29 pm

Hi to everyone

I'm a wife and mother who lives in the UK in a country called Wales (it's not in England) ;)

I have wanted a thermomix for years and I have a demo booked for this Saturday.

I intend to buy one and am very excited to have a new gadget as I'm a techie and a lover of great food. I also have some health difficulties and hope this device well help me make healthier choices!

I'm looking forward to sharing your recipes and in time, sharing mine!

Kind regards

Welcome WR.
I think you will find the Thermomix perfect for cooking if you have health issues as you will know exactly what is in your food.
It is perfect for cooking if you have allergies etc.
Enjoy.

Hello again

Had my demo yesterday and the food was yummy.

Thanks for your welcome.

I ordered my machine, I'm hoping it will come on Tuesday (or at least that is what my demo lady hopes for).
So the delivery time seems good doesn't it?

I bought the extra bowl so would you be kind enough to comment on the usefulness of such a purchase because I need to convince my husband of the extra spend! ! !

I'm looking forward to some fast, easy, healthy meals for when I go back to work after a major operation. I am diabetic insulin dependent too so any ideas of easy stuff I can practice? I love soups, curries, I can eat veggies if they are well cooked and cooked apple recipes would also be really useful useful.

I'm new to forums and if I should have started a new thread, can someone advise me of this too?

Blimey, I'm asking a lot of questions!

Kind regards

It's so handy having that second bowl WR, many of us on here have 2 and we all love having them. Yes your delivery is very quick, it takes much longer here in Australia for delivery.  We have all those types of food you mention on here so have a browse through the soup section, vegetarian has some nice vegie dishes as well and Chookie has posted some nice apple recipes.  Being diabetic though throws me as I don't quite know your rules and dietary needs.  There may be some suitable recipes in our special diet section.

I have a second bowl WR and love it ;D
I think most members here were new to forums when they joined,including me,so if you have any questions just ask and someone will reply.
I'm afraid I know very little about managing a Diabetes Diet but as Judy says here are lovely recipes here that you might be able to eat.
Have fun on Tuesday when you're TM arrives.It will be interesting to know what you cooked first ;) :D

Hi again WR. Second bowl great to have.  While something is cooking in first bowl,  you can prepare stuff in second bowl and then just pop it on and off you go with the second item.
Once you get used to the machine you will be able to convert your favorite diabetic recipes to the TMX.  If you have trouble getting started,  we can help.
With the cold weather heading your way,  you will love making soups in the TMX.  There are some fantastic recipes here.
