Hey Gang,
The name's Kerry, and I live in Ontario, Canada.
I have been a proud owner of a slightly used TM31 for a few months now. My initial interest in the TMX was for the purpose of making ganaches for chocolate centers, but I've found quite a variety of other uses for it - and am having great fun adapting various recipes.
This site has been a great source of inspiration and help to me - I don't have any of the cookbooks that others get with the TMX and didn't attend any demos so I'm teaching myself. I'm also operating without a varoma - someday I'll get one and that will expand my repertoire I'm sure.
Hoping after a while I can teach you folks as much as you've taught me.

Hi. Welcome. Lovely to see another Canadian. Thanks for the nice comments :-) One day Thermomix will be big in Canada.
Chat soon

Welcome chocdoc. Curious as to why you didn't get the varoma when you got the machine?

Well I bought the TM31 used, and apparently at the time it was purchased it didn't come with a varoma.

Hi & welcome Kerry. Glad this forum has been useful to you already - that's what we are here for. Did the previous owner not pass on any cookbooks with the machine? We all got one free with ours. Have fun, looking forward to hearing some of the things you do with your TMX.

Welcome Kerry,
nice to see another Canadian from Ontario :). In which area do you live? I'm wondering why your machine came without a cookbook ? How old is your TM31? Can't wait to read your ganache recipes.

Welcome chocdoc. For those who don't know Kerry is a superhero on egullet !
You can see what she has done from this point in the duiscussions http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?/topic/125907-thermomix-collection/page__view__findpost__p__1697738__s__7b3c175f9b6280bfaf29437773cc07d0 (http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?/topic/125907-thermomix-collection/page__view__findpost__p__1697738__s__7b3c175f9b6280bfaf29437773cc07d0)

Thank you Thermomixer :-*,
cool, I was going to look for chocolate molds in the next days ;).

Thermomixer, you should post Bron's Dulce de Leche on egullet - they didn't seem too sure how to make it in the TMX.

welcome chocdoc - I thought TM31 always came with the varoma. I can't wait for your contributions after having a peek at egullet! And our beloved andiesenji originated there too by the looks. ;)

Welcome Kerry, glad to have you onboard!!!!
Cheers

Welcome to the forum Kerry.

Hi chocdoc. I am sure you can tell us a lot about chocolate making. You will love your thermomix. I used to spend my early summers on Lake Ontario. Originally I came from Syracuse but have lived in Australia for 45 years.

I'm just a few miles down the way from you in Burlington. I spent a fair bit of my misspent youth in Rockwood.

Feel free to wander down to my place and look through the molds if you need some - probably have a thousand or so.

I'm a sailor - spent a fair bit of time on Lake Ontario myself. Grew up in a house on Burlington Bay, which is at the head of the lake.

Perhaps this one did originally - and the cookbook, but it was long gone by the time I got my hands on it.
I suspect I may have been at least a bit responsible for convincing Andi that she 'needed' a TMX. She's a gadget girl like myself!

Yes indeed! Kerry is one of the culprits! ;D
I had been following the "Pastry" thread on eG but what put me over the top was the topic Kerry started on Nov. 7 about Cooking in the Thermomix.
That started me on a search for more info, including this forum and I immediately made a request for a sales contact and placed my order. My "Tuffy" arrived on Nov. 12. I have been playing with it ever since with breaks for other tasks and using other appliances because I need greater capacity for some of my recipes that are not easily reducible to a size that would fit in the TMX.
Kerry is extremely talented and has a lot of knowledge to pass on.

I will Kerry. Thank you. I was planing to come down on Guelph Line anyway next week and sent you a message :)
