I have had my KA about 10 years now and still love it for baking and now for making pasta, thanks to JulieO. I do a lot of baking and some recipes need the KA for success, pavlova and large cakes that need a big mixing bowl. I love my TMX for quick cakes, cupcakes and pastry doughs. That being said if I had the TMX first I probably wouldn't have gone to the extra expense of a KA, a basic mixer will make cakes and the KA is designed for a lot more with added attachments. I use the KA for mincing meat as I have the mincer attachment which works better than TMX for mincing. These attachments aren't cheap so once again ask yourself would you use them or are you just after a cake mixer. All that being said I wouldn't part with either of them and to me they are my complete kitchen appliances

I have two files on my iPad, recipes and favourite recipes, first they go into recipes and the ones that I make on a regular basis move into favourite recipes. Mind you the favorites is growing daily

For years I have gone without butter or margarine on my sandwiches and toast, at first it took a bit of getting used to but now I don't even realize it isn't there. I do have one little treat though, a dollop of praise mayonnaise on my salad sandwiches

I have successfully made Faffa's, I don't use a starter, just 1/2 a cup of pot set yogurt (Jalna) natural.

I have had the Tupperware one for years, easy to use and leaves no sharp edges.

Knittercook you are lucky! Just had a look at your blog and wow such great things there and your knitting tension looks very professional. My knitting is all over the place. See you have an etsy shop too. You haven't got a red beret have you? Have to dress up French for a dinner party next weekend. Have my long elegant cigarette holder (sans cigarette of course) and was thinking about a beret.
Jude59, most of my items are made to order and the only berets that I have ready to go are these: https://www.etsy.com/listing/68987403/crocheted-beret-hat-ginger-ready-to-shipand one in brown. Sharon

I would love to have a family meal at the table!!! I get lonely in my room and I don't like TV 
We always sit around the dinner table, except for Saturday night which is take away night and we 'spoil ourselves' and sit in front of the tv. Amy my mum didn't have family meal times around the table, she had an extremely dysfunctional mother, so everything her upbringing lacked she made up for big time when she was a mum. One day you will have a family of your own and make meal times special

Can't wait to hear what you think of the vanilla version, Le Rice is quite expensive compared to this as it makes quite a lot.

thanks cookie, one of my fave winter warmers we must have been underprivileged as we only ever had jam 
So did we, but my mum did use suet, I can still see her grating the big lump of fat LOL! Great recipe cookie, will be making this one for sure.

Made this tonight and realized there are no instructions for adding the milk juice, I took a punt and added them to the batter? The cake was delicious and moist but there wasn't any sauce, so next time I will only cook for 3 hours and add a bit more golden syrup, but I will definately be making this one again

I also have used this recipe a few times and my tweak is use the same amount of rice and milk and cook for 45 min. and then add a can of condensed milk and a tablespoon of butter and cook for another 10min. No sugar. Turns out great.
Oh yes that would be amazing, next time I will do that.

ok here I pose a really hard question:
DS20 cannot cook, he has moved intersate and we are not going to buy him a TM until he is at least 21 ("the 21st present"). I really don't think he is up to a slow cooker, and most probably not a pressure cooker. Does that leave a frypan? If so, what do you recommend? Could there be something else, as he is slowly starving IYKWIM?
A good old fashioned deep square electric frying pan, he can make simple stir frys, omelettes, eggs and bacon and cook meats including roasts. On a limited budget when we were first married this was my saviour in the kitchen. http://www.breville.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/11/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/e/bef500_hr_hero_14dec2012_1.jpg
