Hi There

I have been lurking around this forum for awhile and realised that I had failed to introduce myself properly.
In my late 40's, step mum and FIFO widow (for the moment) who is extremely new to the world of a thermal mixer though have been coveting one for a while (after I got over the  "of course I don't need one of those, I can make all of those things traditionally" stage, which actually lasted a few years).

Due to my circumstances, I am looking for making and developing little simple meals that are kind on the waistline and can probably do me for one or two meals at s time. I also love to bake a big luscious cake for the hell of it and of course when the extended family is over it is a "very large and full of life stories and food" event.

In a former life I was a Home Ec teacher so find myself looking at this new kitchen addition with complete horror...not an experience I have ever had before. I want this appliance to be my friend not an enemy.

I am loving the generosity of this forum, the old family recipes, the wise words and the conversations.

So thank you for letting me be a part of here.
