Hello old friends

[Lellyj]

Hello forum folk. I thought I would say hello and thank you to all of you who make this forum the wonderful resource it is. I was quite active on the forum for some time but over the last 18 months or so my work and home life have been so busy, I have kind of drifted away. Although still using my thermomix regularly, I have been lacking inspiration and just cooking the same dishes over and over. I usually got my recipes from here or on the web from blogs etc (I'm a very messy cook!) and so I asked dear husband to buy me a thermomix cookbook for Christmas providing links to books by Tenina & Alyce! Well, he must be looking for a shake up in the kitchen too, as he bought me 4! Since Christmas I have been leafing through, drooling over the pictures in said books, with no clue where to start! Ahhh, the forum to the rescue! Thank you, thank you all for your wonderful reviews. I am certainly re inspired! I have made Teninas's Frozen Meringue cake (with reduced sugar as advised be forum peeps--yummy and easy) and Alyce's salmon patties will be next. Funnily enough browsing through the forum I even found reviews I have written about recipes I had forgotten all about, too. Still trying to learn to drive tap a talk so I hope I am posting this in the right spot.

It was good to see some familiar "faces" and also to see that there are plenty of new folk flying the forum flag. Thanks again & Happy New a Year!

Hi Lellyj, how lovely to hear from you again.  Great of your DH to buy you so many books to re-inspire you.  Just being back on the forum will probably have that effect too.  We know many people have busy lives so many tend to come and go on the forum but we're always happy to welcome them back with open arms.
