Seafood and Fish / Re: Thai Fish Cakes
« on: December 17, 2012, 09:18:06 pm »
Im doing my homework on what to make with my new thermie arriving on sunday! We are currently on holidays and went deep sea fishing with my three sons yesterday... son no. 1 caught a 30kg Hammerhead shark! we ate him for dinner last night - took a few kilo's to the local chinese restarurant and the chef served him up for us for dinner, several different ways!
im thinking thai fish cakes would be a great way to use some more up, any more great recipes anyone can think of?
How long do you process the fish cake recipe for? At this stage I need hand feeding!!
thanks

Introduce Yourself / Re: I too just bought a Thermomix.. so excited!

Aww thanks everyone! I feel very welcome and cant wait to get started with my new thermie (see... I already feel like a local lol) I dont feel nearly so selfish now you have all said what a lovely present to myself. I feel I have earned it, Im the mother of three 6 foot 6 plus sons, and a big burly husband, so I think after 28 years of keeping them all happy and satisfied in the culinary department  its time to sit back and let the machine do the work  ;D
Im planning on making all sorts of goodies for Christmas & birthday party so Ill let you know how I go. I have my delivery demo on Sunday before Christmas so Im sure cutting it fine! I have a month off work so am just going to have so much fun getting to know my new baby and learning how to navigate her.
thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes, who wouldn't be happy to make the big 50?
As my cricketing friend said "wave your bat in the air and claim that half century"!! ;D ;D ;D

Introduce Yourself / I too just bought a Thermomix.. so excited!

Hello all, today I made the decision to buy a thermomix after thinking about it for a year, having been to a demo this time last year. I felt it was just too expensive even though I fell in love with it, (love at first sight). After having thermo envy all year I decided that life is too short not to have what makes you happy! I work very hard full time so this is my little treat for my 50th  birthday on Boxing Day. Im looking forward to making some lovely things for my friends to enjoy on that day!
I have been looking on the forum for a while, but still feel a bit overwhelmed at what I need to know. I have an unendurable wait of 10 days or so, but guaranteed delivery before Xmas which is great.
I will do some shopping and stocking up, any suggestions about what to have on hand?
I cant wait to make the beetroot salad that I still remember as delicious from the demo one year ago.. hope I can do it!
I look forward to meeting you all, you all seem such lovely people cant wait to get to know you
x Helen
