And it looks like a wonderful time was had by all.  You certainly like feeding a crowd unconundrum and yes, we had noticed you were back.  Now all we need is for Ayla and Cookie1 to come back and I think our regulars are accounted for.

I think I'll add the whisky to tonight's brew to balance out the honey taste. It seemed to loosen the conjestion on my chest and I coughed for ages until I thought of another remedy I had read about and that was to rub the soles of your feet with Vicks - it worked (not immediately) and I then slept cosily until around 7am.  Think I will spend the day in bed with the paper and my computer today - plenty of leftovers in the fridge. It is such a waste of time being sick  :( :( :(

I wish you luck Intrepidtrier, I had a hell of a time trying to get mine right.  In fact, never did - I'm 1/2 hour out but near enough is good enough as far as I'm concerned and I am from S.A. ;D ;D ;D

Paul, you are doing a good job adding meat recipes to the forum. Thanks for your efforts as we are sadly lacking in this category. Tenina also has said meat recipes are lagging behind too for her new book, plenty of chicken though.  I emailed her and asked her to check out one of my recipes from the forum which she did but guess she hasn't the time to go through them all.

Had friends here yesterday afternoon who were coming back today with stuff for DH's pinata project so I invited them to lunch.  Luckily had enough stuff in the freezer to put on a casual meal which went as follows:- sundried tomato and cashew dip for starters, garlic oil and chilli pasta to accompany honey stir fry chicken winglets, cheese stuffed french roll and for dessert a choice of mango mousse or apricot or apple slice with custard.  I had the dip, roll and apple/apricot slice in the freezer, made the mousse and marinated the winglets last night so today all I had to do was the pasta, cook the chicken and make the custard.  Not feeling that well today but managed it quite easily.

You are going great guns Luisa and yes, you are right, most things the TMX does are simple, everyday type things - almost like going back to basic home cooking like our grandmothers did.  There are some nice recipes though, a little bit more upmarket and suitable for dinner parties.  You have learnt early - read the recipe :( :(  Failure to do so can make or break a recipe and it doesn't matter how long you have had it or how many times you've done a recipe, it always pays to read it and not trust your memory.

Welcome nay nay, good to see your mind has been put at ease re the plastic bits.  That's what is so good about this forum, we are all here to help each other. Just ask a question and someone is bound to know the answer.

Tonight we had the lasagne from the everyday cookbook that I cooked yesterday.  It was delicious and DH (not a lover of lasagne) actually commented that it was the best one he has ever had and the dishful I took around to Mum yesterday went down equally as well with her ringing me after she had eaten it - she went ape over it :D :D :D   As mentioned previously, had heaps of parmesan cheese and bechamel sauce left over though so tuna/corn mornay coming up for tomorrow's tea.

I thought I would subscribe to the monthly newsletter (again) in the hope that I would receive those recipes and not have to go looking on the Thermomix site for them but it informed me that I was already subscribed.  I knew I was but, like Thermomixer, it is not recipes that I get but just news of any cooking classes, special offers on the bowl and things like that (it all just came back to me, couldn't remember earlier). Why won't they send the recipes?  It is almost like it is them and us whereas it should be WE.

Amanda, I have noticed that about the cooking classes too - same old thing, sorbet, dips etc - so I don't go to them.  First one is OK but after that you want to progress to the next step.  I get 2 emails (the same so I must have registered twice!!) every so often but do you know, I can't for the life of me remember what they tell me ??? ??? Can't be all that interesting or contain recipes otherwise I would remember (I think). Like you, this forum provides all the information and recipes we need but it would be nice not to feel like a mushroom.

Rowyfo, mine looks like powder (not breadcrumbs) too so age has nothing to do with it.  You didn't put the ammonia in the TM bowl did you? You shouldn't have had room to do so anyway but I can't think why your machine smelt stinky - it is afterall, only soap and doesn't get stinky until you add the ammonia once it has been put into a container.
