Hi MM
I am getting my TMin about 2 hours.   Don't be scared ... There are a lot of us newbies... At least you know that whatever time dayor night there will be an answer on the forum, if the Aussies are in bed those in the N Hemisphere may be posting... 😄

there is a great place that does mail order or you can go in if you live in Perth they have jars and packaging in every shapes and size. I use a lovely 100 ml hex shape jar with a gold lid and it looks great with lemon butter in it. as I am getting my Tm today.......yippee I will now be making TM lemon butter. as I am new I am not sure if I am allowed to mention the name of the place that sells jars!  If I am let me know and I will tell all.

HI
I am looking forward to trying this when I get my TMX next week as we love mash. I am wondering what type of potatoes are "floury" in Australia.  YOu now all know that I am not much of a cook if I dont already know this....!

Hi
I havnt posted for a while because I am still waiting patiently for my Thermomix to arrive. those of you who read my first post will know that I chose to order just before the consultant went on holiday. As I was very keen to wait for her to do my delivery demo ( I chose not to have an initial demo) I have had a long three weeks wait. 

plenty of time to prepare!!! I have been busy stocking up on pantry essentials including bakers flour, for those of you who live in Perth I get mine from Cash n Carry in Balcatta it's pretty cheap. I also stocked up on whole spices Prime foods the Indian wholesales is good for those and great price.  I got myself a silicon mat from Ikea and a baby bottle brush cleaner and a few spatulas.

I have been looking at you tube videos of cooking and have also picked up a tip that a silicon rolling pin is also good if used with the silicon mat, can't see to find one in the shops I have been in lately 

 And of course I have been busy reading the forum and planning what I am going to cook.  I had booked the day off work for my delivery demo and then to play for the rest of the day, but my DD is an apprentice hairdresser so I am now going to get a colour in the afternoon. 

I now only have one week to wait and getting quite excited.  I am hoping I can share my enthusiasm with my husband as so far he thinks the TMX is just an exorbitant priced mixer!!
keen to hear what very first recipes worked well for newbies preferable straight out of the book.

Hi I am enjoying reading recipes and tips in preparation for my TM arrival.   

I would like to know If it is possible to bookmark a thread to come back to?  I am finding my way through threads to recipes and then not being able to get back there!  Is it best to just import the recipe into Paprika or similar ?

Although I am enjoying the content of the forum, I am finding navigating my way round it quite cumbersome. Any hints on Easier ways? I have Tapatalk which makes it visually better to navigate but would like more ideas on how to find way round the forum.

hi CGL
Looking forward to hearing about your delivery of TM. Would love to have the stock paste recipe is it in the book that comes with the TM?  What is your first meal going to be?I still have a couple more weeks to wait until my TM arrives, plenty of time to chat to other new members.

Hi jodiethom,
How exciting for you.
I am new here and am getting excited about my TM delivery.
I chose to wait three weeks as the consultant is on hols, it will give me plenty of time to chat here and start planning.

 I have not had a demo only been to a cooking class. My consultant is going to cook something with me on delivery day. Really keen to hear of good "first week" recipes. Have fun tonight 

Hi cooking-good-looking

Lucky you, I will eagerly be reading your early experences with your TM. Have you already got a list of things to make on Day 1?
