I'm here to get my thermo-fix until my new baby arrives...just ordered on Tuesday, and trying to be patient. We have been wanting one since we first saw one while on holiday in Perth four and a half years ago! TM wasn't available in NZ then, so it's been a long wait, and so excited to know it will soon have pride of place on my bench, at last.
I have 2 young kids (5 and almost-3), and looking forward to making our family lots of delicious food. We all demolished the sorbet and custard and other goodies that our demonstrator showed us. Hoping to find lunchbox ideas and just general family meals.
My husband is most looking forward to getting rid of all the other kitchen gadgets - bread machine, cake mixer, scales....
Looking forward to sharing and testing lots of delicious recipes here!

The TMX is a wonderful machine, you will find loads of recipes, ideas and inspiration here. As we have said on this forum before, now is the time to give your home a good clean and stock up your larder because, once your TMX arrives all you are going to want to do is cook! Think about the first couple of recipes you want to try and make sure you have all the ingredients to hand. You are going to have a wonderful time.

Cuilidh - I'm a Welly girl too. Currently in Petone.
Obbie, lalala, not listening....SO don't need more things to spend money on. I'm a bit of a crafty gadget fiend so have o force myself to just that "little" addiction...
I'll stick with just checking out those lunchbox ideas for the moment.

Jo - You are right in my back yard - or maybe I am in yours ... I'm from Lower Hutt (near Hutt Central School, if it still exists).Yes, definitely close neighbours!! DD goes to playcentre right next to Hutt Central, and her wee cousin lives just down the road from there (Moa St).

I was actually in Petone earlier this year for a friend's 80th pre-birthday party get together. I don't recognise Petone any more either! In fact, I even find Wellington a bit of a challenge - but then I so rarely get the chance to get home to NZ now and every time I am there something has gone and changed on me!

It's been a long while since I have posted on the forum, so thought maybe an updated intro would be a good starting point.
It's now coming up to three years since I bought my tmx, so the kids are now 8 and about to turn 6. Both are keen cooks - with and without the tmx.
I have just had a small break from thermomixing and cooking in general - 8 weeks ago I tripped on a friend's front path and broke my ankle. So after surgery and seven weeks in a cast, I am now in a moon boot and trying to get mobile again. Still about 3 weeks until I expect to be driving again - DH has really had to step up with the school runs and kids activities, and we are all looking forward to getting back to normal (although he is planning to keep doing school runs 1-2 times a week).
After my unexpected hiatus I am back on here looking for new inspiration, and revisiting some old favourites.
Looking forward to "catching up" with everyone.

I have been so grateful again for the tmx during my recovery - makes things so much easier. Trying a new curry tonight with rice (and store bought naan - too long standing to make my own just yet)
I was actually a little concerned in the first week or so of my recovery...DH had been using "my" tmx (usually he doesn't get a look in), and it kept coming up with an error message. I suspect he had been putting the bowl back wet. It has stopped doing it, so fingers crossed it is all okay under the hood! Otherwise that would be an expensive consequence of tripping over!

Hope the recovery is speedy and hitch-free :-*
