Introduce Yourself / Re: Greetings from the Diamond Isle

Isle of Wight aka Vectis, it's a diamond shaped island off the south coast of England. It's part of the South Downs but a deep channel filled up with sea water and cut us off from the mainland. Has dubious reputation of being the most expensive water crossing (£/mile) in the world.

Introduce Yourself / Greetings from the Diamond Isle

I bought my tm31 a few months ago on ebay having lusted after one for years. I'm not a great cook but I do like to cook and was a prolific jam maker but over the last few years I've struggled, particularly with chopping, whisking and erm... remembering what I'm doing LOL. I pretty much gave up with cooking because I was burning the food, and myself, nearly every time I went in the kitchen, even making a cup of tea was hazardous and sometimes a meal would be burnt 3 times before I got it to the table:( Things got so bad that at for several months all I 'cooked' was toast and pasta. So Izzy is quite literally a life saver for us - fresh soups, steamed fish etc - what a star!

I'm looking forward to trying out more adventurous things and having a laugh about the stupid things I do in the kitchen when my CPU starts to malfunction - like the time poured the milk into the marmite jar instead of my cup of tea :D
