Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Would love ideas for leftover herbs
« on: April 14, 2013, 08:11:44 am »
Hi Everyone! I hope your weekend is going well!
I've got some leftover dill (I normally use it on salads made with tuna, salmon and/or crab/prawns, I love dill!), tarragon, rosemary, and oregano (all fresh) and it's about to go bad in the fridge. I use it, but not a whole pack of fresh ones (and they are not cheap!)....

how do you preserve them?
one thing I'm thinking of doing is making herbed butter, and freeze that..... anyone have experience with that?

I'm not very good with which herbs to use how (other than what it says in the recipe!).... I guess I could chop them up and use them in buns/breads (I make grain free bagels with coconut flour). Thanks for any suggestions you may have!!! :)

Chit Chat / What kind of labels do you use?
« on: April 09, 2013, 01:28:44 pm »
Hi all!
I am in need of labelling help. Hubby is frustrated as there are all these things in the fridge but he can't tell what's what all the time (I would be in the same boat except I make the food! :D )

I have used Avery labels, writing on them, and putting them on the jars, but sometimes they don't come off nicely.
I've bought some gorgeous "chalkboard" labels but the chalk rubs off as soon as I touch the label
If I use a sharpie to write on the jar, it usually wears off
Masking tape is good but it doesn't look very nice (however it's my favourite method so far).

Sticky tape seems to get unstuck with condensation.

I have access to an inkjet printer, I have lots of textas/sharpies :) but no laser printers
and lots of food not getting eaten because others don't know what's what!

I need help!  :D

Thanks for any advice, suggestions, etc. (on some Decor containers I can use the little tabs they give you sometimes, but I can't remember where I put them, so step 1: look for tabs, but I need other ideas for other containers!)  :-))

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Hard boiled eggs in TMX basket sometimes crack and spill
« on: April 04, 2013, 12:33:54 pm »
Hi all
I got my thermomix a month ago, and I've used it every day but one! I adore it.
I like using it to make hard boiled eggs (amongst many other things!) and well, lately, my eggs have split and poured out.
This used to always happen to me on the stove top, that's why I was enjoying doing them in the thermomix so much.

Does anyone know if it's a temperature thing or an egg thing? Maybe the eggs get hot too quickly and crack?

Any insight would be lovely, as it's got me  ??? baffled!

Thanks :)

Special Diets / Fans of Maria Emmerich with Thermomixes?
« on: March 02, 2013, 08:41:01 am »
Hi all
I was so glad to find a Paleo board. I'm a huge fan of Maria Emmerich, specially since following her "ways" I've managed to lose weight without starving myself or killing myself doing too many push ups and sit ups... Her philosophy is "no grain, no sugar, high fat, low carb" pretty much, though those are my words, not hers.
I'm just wondering if there are other people here who follow her ways ( http://mariahealth.blogspot.com/ ) and are making some of her recipes in the Thermomix.

The first recipe I made (just got my Tmx today) was the ginger beer, substituting Natvia for the sugar. Yum! So satisfying!

I look forward to seeing if anyone else here knows her, and her recipes, because I'm probably going to need your help  :D
(I'm in no way affiliated with her or her blog, I just really like what she made me do to my body! :) )
