Hi Antionette, joining the others to welcome you to the forum.  Sounds like you are wrapped already so we don't have to convince you that you have done the right thing by buying one.  Have fun.

A review and tweak which makes you want to try this recipe.  Thanks CarolineJ and your consultant.

Of course there is the pizza dough in the EDC with your kid's favourite toppings - what kid doesn't like pizza.
ILB's Honey Soy stir-fry chicken winglets are popular, Chookies Chow Mein is loved by any child I know and Bron's steamed meatballs in tomato sauce seems a popular one too - these 3 are in mains on the forum.

You are such a stirrer Thermomixer but I'm sure Jo's children would love you 

Thanks Sheree, sounds delicious.  My kind of food and I have heaps of brandy in the cupboard. Another one-pot meal for those looking for them to simplify mealtimes.

Thanks Julie & Chookie, yes have tried both suggestions.  The drawer, unfortunately, is the top one and when we took the second drawer out, could not get my hand up behind it.  I shake it everytime I walk past it Chookie - more in frustration than hope   No, my steak knives are in the smaller, everyday cutlery drawer so yes, rolls it must be. When I think about what else is in the stubborn drawer, it occurred to me that I very rarely use my wooden spoons these days because our clever TMX stirs itself. I have the guys here today doing the renovation of the side area of the house so I might even ask one of them to have a look at it later. My raised garden bed was delivered yesterday and can't wait to get that set up in this new area and do some planting.  Laying awake from 4am worrying about the drawer.

Now I can't read lots of SMS messages and don't understand Twits - guess it will all be OK in years to come - I'll be dead. 

  Precisely Thermomixer - the world just gets too much for us and it is therefore not hard to leave when we get old (much older than we are at the moment though I hope )

I thought of using gelatine isi.  I don't think the caramel made any difference as it is 2 separate layers.  I had one of the blocks of 'ice-cream' for dessert tonight, just put one of the blocks into the microwave for 20 seconds to soften it (it was rock hard). It was nice but not as ice-creamy as the chocolate version I did with your light coffee cream dessert.  I will certainly make it as is to serve to visitors in a stemmed glass with the caramel on top - I am a fan of any dessert in a glass.  They always look nice.
