Tebasile yours look divine.

Mr Containergirl Mr SPANNERmight even try them if I made mine look so pretty. ;)

Mr Spanner always tries new food ... he just chooses to like some food more than other foods.

Let sit for 1 minute (Should start separating)

This is the ducks nuts, the pigs trotters, the good oil, the best darn thing this side of KFC and the kind of food I would crawld over broken glass for!!!!

I love this and so do ALL my work collegues.

Oh my god if I were to be left to die on a dessert (pun intended) island this is what I would want as my last meal before setting off accross shark infested waters for rescue.

Lies lies lies .....its all damn lies ..... dont believe any thing that wicked women tells you about me unless it is good ....  oh and by the way if she tells you anything that can be interpreted in one of two ways .... its the good one that you should intrpret it! 

 ;D

I would have to say with out a doubt that containergirls would have to be one of the BESTEST bottom of the fridge draw magicians I have ever encounterd.

Ask her about her magnificent choc ice cream .... Oh god it is soooo Yummo!

I have missed being on the forum but have been so very busy at work ..... that is the only time I am allowed on this forum    :P

  • better sound insulation. - it is noisy! even when just on a slow speed
    • ability to adjust volume on the end of time alarm - I dont need the alarm to be screamingly loud - maybe they could have a graduated alarm which starts soft and then gets progressivly louder
    • ability to stop fine particle of rice flour etc comming out the top - I dont want to HAVE to use a bowl - I want it to do the job properly

    But at the end of all this I would like to say how happy I am to be an owner of such a magnificent machine.

    I also like the idea of the CD for the recipies. ..... maybe in fantasy land there can be a voice telling me what to do next.   lol    that could well lead to a nightmare I think.

Kind of keen not to have the heating part of the tmx which is the 1500 watts but more the 500 watt 30 second blits for our morning smoothies and maybe a quick blend or three of other stuff.

If we were to cook it would be on the lower heats for a 'raw meal'.

Cheers

am doing this now .... of course it helps if you actually read the recipie ALL the way THROUGH first.

I just waisted the marinade as I read 'put all ingredients in except chicken and spring onions" so I puit in the 1200 g of water ....  BEFORE I did the first cook!!!

doh!!!

Well after a little screaming match between me and the computer screen and the screaming kids I have finally regained my composure and am ready to start steaming the chook.

Hope it all works well as the brother in law is comming to dinner tonight ... kind of unanounced but announced!?!

Wish me well.

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / running a thermo on a car battery?
« on: August 19, 2009, 07:43:45 am »
Howdy to all and sundry .... if you feel like being a sundry then who am I to stop you!

I would like and answer to my question and this may or may not be a mission you can complete BUT.......


does anyone know if the thermy can be run from a car battery? I am wanting to take it camping .... cant wait to start grinding my nut milk at 0630 am in thelocal state forrest camping ground!!!  I can see it now .... all the tree huggers (like my self) will come screaming out of their tents naked looking for the loggers who are trying to cut down the trees.  Hahahaha ....

Anyway ....I digress....  I am wanting to cook and process foods when I am away from a mains power supply. I also have a potential customer who wants to have one in their 'rolling estate' .... (bus with a bed and kitchen) for the non-technical like me.

So any ideas on the how to and what is needed would be gratefully accepted.

Tree-huggingly yours,

Spanner

Hi Molly,

Welcome (belatedly) to the Forum of fun and fantasia!

We have such a wonderful time here listening and laughing (with each other of course) at the stories we hear and the triumphs that occour.

I love the sound of the pinaple sorbet and when the pines are cheep as chips up this way this will be a great thing to 'get rid of' those pineapples that are hanging around the kitchen attracting fruit flys.

Was the sorbet tangy and yummy ?


tingely yours

Spanner
