Maddy,  the bread demo came about because I attended a couple of "Back to Basics" classes ,  mostly just to support my consultant.   I noticed that a lot of woman at the meeting were not using their TMX very well and felt that they had paid a lot of money for a useless bit if machinery .   They particularly were having trouble with the bread recipe in the EDC book.   I have taught several groups of people to make bread over the years,  so why not with TMX.   My consultant said she had several clients who would be interested.   And it grew from there.  As they were leaving they asked if I would do more. So there is obviously a need.  I am not sure that HO would be impressed as they like to keep a firm hold of what is going on.  There are about a dozen members on this Forum, whom I could name, who would have the knowledge and skills to do what I did.  I would be prepared to share planning details with any one who is interested.

Maddy,  great photo,  glad you liked the Korma.

Lovemythermo,  I love my 2nd. bowl,  because I'm a lazy cook.  You can leave bread to rise while you make soup in the other.  But as Judy says,  you can manage quite well without it.

Good one Caroline.

obbie, your kis at school are well looked after

Hope your machines come soon so you can both have fun like the rest of us.  Let us know how you go.

Andi,  these are just beautiful.   My chooks are ISA Browns,  little egg laying machines.  Very ordinary looking eggs.  They lay 1 a day for a year,  and then mostly stop laying or lay an egg every couple of days.

Cottchick,  it is a good idea to mill your grain.   Just watch the water/flour ratio.  You may need a little more water if following a basic recipe.  Could be a good idea to start with 50% bought flour and 50% own milled to see haw you go.  Let us know.
