I am laughing about the person who imported their TMX from Spain for $800 cheaper.  My DH is in Malaysia  at the moment and asked me if I wanted a second one as he can buy it up there for  an unbelievable price. Said he would toss it in the overhead rack. I told him he would have to check it because of the blade and he withdrew the offer. Pity.  He must have had a senior moment as all his life he has been in the airline industry and specialised in dangerous and hazardous freight not to mention the latest  carry on board policies. LOL!

Poor DH Gert!!  :D

I totally love that my birthday is Pi day!!  ;D

I think my children should be into this and make me pies for my birthday every year!  They have no excuses really. ;)

Well this has definitely been an entertaining read (along with the thread on the Simple Savings site).  I have to say that we have two Thermomixes in our house and I wouldn't part with either... nor would the other half!  That said, we bought a third last Friday, secondhand locally.   It was rather tempting to use all three but one was a gift for a friend who really needs and desperates wants one but couldn't afford new.   ;)

She was with me from my first demo over 2 and a half years ago and every single one since!  It was a no brainer.  I don't regret buying it for her for a second.  She certainly is ecstatic and relieved now that she has one in her kitchen!  8)

Oh and here's another review of the Bellini for those interested!  ;D

Thanks Dashingden... I live in hope that he'll be just fine as well... I just worry out of habit I guess.  ;D

He finally called me today!!  Was good to hear from him off his own bat, even if it was just to ask how much he owed on his phone bill (It's a "big" one) and to tell me how he plans to pay for it.  I guess that's a step forward.  ;D

He knows he's welcome home whenever... he will just have to share with his baby brother who is four...  ;)

Which recipe did you use for the rolls please LR?

My partner is also gluten free and a non cook... however, she does use the TMX often! :D

Tips and Tricks / Re: Couple pizza dough questions
« on: March 01, 2012, 07:55:47 am »
I use lukewarm or tepid water whenever I make a yeasted dough Lexi.  If you add the yeast to the warm water with a little salt/sugar and mix it on 1 or 2, it should start to froth and you can smell a strong yeast smell as it starts to activate.   
Sometimes if it's been in the freezer, I find it takes a little longer to rise. 

I freeze pizza dough after the first rise and just leave it out 30 mins before I need it, to defrost.

Good luck!  :)

Awesome to *meet* you LR!   ;D

A few of us blog as well so you're in great company! 

Pull up a seat and join in!  :)

I'm definitely working on it.   ;)

I'll give him some space for a while though.  I guess it will take longer than a week too.  :-\

It won't stop the worry but I'm glad I have you all to bounce off.  Thank you.  :-* :-* :-*

Trudy,  Just love to you in droves.  I'll call when I can.  :-* :-*

Thanks everyone.   :-* :-*

I guess you just can't be prepared for the emptiness that descends.  :-\

I also think that the fact that my "baby" just started school has also added to that quiet house during the day.

I still have to get around to cleaning out the eldest's room... it's not messy or such... just the whole concept.  *sigh*

The younger children have intolerances (and the baby with his egg and strawberry allergy) but it just all seems so much simpler without the eldest's.

He's not in a communicating frame of mind yet.  We've rung twice to chat to him and he's okay to answer questions about stuff back here... but not fill in too much about his new home as such.  Hoping that giving him some space will help.

He asked me for a supply of Byron Bay gluten free curried lentil pies before he left... apparently I can't make those as well.   :P  Doubt he'll be able to source them in a mining town.  :-))
