Chit Chat / Re: EBOOK What’s For Dessert? is out and about!

Yippee! Got mine too  :) :) :)
Looks great so far!

I hope more people puplish their books/recipes as ebooks, they really are handy to have and take up much less space than traditional cookbooks...my Galaxy Tab and TMX are rarely seen without each other (usually with forum recipes on the screen)!

Hi Rara,
I'm the same as you.. and I got an odd email too. I think my problem is that I was not a registered member when I purchased.....I only signed up after.
I've emailed Tenina through the website and haven't heard & I'm just assuming they're working on it. Tenina seems really on the ball with such things, so I'm sure they're trying to fix this for us  :)
Anyhoo, it's nice to know we are not the only ones!

Chit Chat / Re: New Oven suggestions
« on: September 10, 2012, 12:19:44 pm »
I was just about ready to buy a new oven (nothing wrong with the old one, but it doesn't like me), but then bout a tmx instead! Anyhoo, there are some models that have thinner insulation than others which means that they have a larger capacity even though they are the same dimensions outside (I hope that makes sense)...just another point to consider.
And IMO the pyrolitic cleaning function is worth every cent!

JTW, I used the supermarket liquid 'Pillarbox Red', just because I had it already in the cupboard and it was fine, not a super rich red, but it was certainly red, other people would know better than me though! There are some real experts here  :)

I like your thinking Cookie...I was originally thinking more start to finish type meals, but I really like the idea of making pizza bases and sauce....maybe making more of my own basics to keep in the freezer is the answer! Thank you! You've certainly given me more ideas to think about  :)

I've made Baf's Chicken before, and it's a great one for the list too!

Love our Weber Q.....we have the big one and the grill plates can be cleaned easily in our kitchen sink...other family members have the smaller sizes and they're great because they are very portable. We've also found some BBQ cleaning wipes to be pretty good, which is good for transporting etc

Thanks so much Judy!
I don't know how I missed that thread, I must have skimmed over it, there is so much information on this wonderful forum!
I'll look up the garlic and chilli pasta, it sounds yummy, I think it will be on my menu this week!

Oops! That's an easy mistake to make the containers are very similar!

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Quick Dinner Ideas
« on: September 01, 2012, 01:24:26 pm »
One of the reasons I bought my TM was to be able to make quick dinners when I've worked late or have had one of 'those' days (and avoid take away food as much as possible). I like the idea of stocking my fridge and pantry with a few items that are always available for a quick dinner....so far Pasta Faglioi and risotto are ok but I'm needing a bit more inspiration, and also wondering if there is a magic quick dish I need to know about!

So my question is:
What do you make (with your thermothingy) on 'those' nights when you don't want to spend a long time in the kitchen but have hungry mouths to feed asap?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated and then I'll be able to adjust my pantry staples accordingly!


I did a few searches for fast and easy meals but didn't find anything, but I do apologise if there is a similar thread elsewhere and I've never started a thread before so I'm hoping I've put this one in the right spot -moderators, please feel free to move if need be  :)

I have an android (Samsung Galaxy Tablet), they are so similar to iPads, I hope it's OK for me to post a hint too!

My hint is when you find a recipe online that you like, you can just take a screen-shot of it (there is an icon to do this at the bottom of the screen), then you will have it saved in your gallery for quick reference. It also helps as you don't need internet access and can take/use the recipe everywhere! My tmx and tablet are rarely seen without each other!

I also do this regularly with my smartphone, I take photos of recipes then email the photo to myself so I have in my tablet when cooking at home and on my phone when I am out shopping.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Introductions from Cookiemother2

Hiya! And welcome!
I've had my tmx for nearly three weeks an LOVE it! It is wonderful to be able to quickly make things from scratch! Because if this though, my pantry is now crowded with 'packet' type things I don't think I'll ever use again!

So from one newbie to another my advice is to use up all those things before it arrives! And my other piece of advice is to start reading up here on recipes you want to make and write up a grocery list so you are ready to go! I've found I use lots more garlic, olive oil, onions and parmesan cheese than ever before! Oh and be sure to have a couple of litres of vinegar on hand for cleaning the tmx!

Just made cookies and cream fudge........from the scrapings left in the bowl it is delicious! Now I just have to resist temptation whilst it firms up in the fridge......I wonder if there'll be any left to take to a dinner party tonight  ;)

We had our first 'takeaway' equivalent meal since having our tmx and I must say, I would have much rathered a home cooked tmx meal! I think we've been spoiled with the great flavours, fresh ingredients etc that we will certainly be thinking twice before dining out again!

OK so I can have a tendancy to enjoy organising...but at the same time much of my house is in shambles as I've been recovering from glandular fever for the most part of this year, so I feel a bit hypocritical offering organising advice with the current state of my abode but....

When I'm storing books I try to order them by type and then by size (and then colour if I'm really fussy that day). I find that the large books are best stored vertically for easy access but you might find that you have a collection of small books that if stored horizontally will be more space efficient IYKWIM...In my classroom I often use storage tubs as 'drawers' so that the kids can find the books they need quickly, I've found this is helpful with some books at home too.

Happy organising :-)
