Hi from WA

[cookie1]

You'll be an old hand with the TMX when you have your demo. At least you will be able to clear up any queries  you have.

Yay TiM should be coming to stay tomorrow arvo

And they wanted the demo 3 weeks after we got it (and the varoma demo about 6 weeks after)

Now the question is... should we make beef stroganoff or pumpkin soup?

This is becoming a 2 way conversation Jules, and you probably live next door or something weird like that.

I'd go for the soup and some bread to go with it. Then follow up with some custard. I can fully understand your excitement. One more sleep.

lol you know what as a consultant I say go the stroganoff - though it is entirely your choice

[cookie1]

Why not both?

[~ - Jules - ~]

Because the consultant is going to go through one of those two with us to show us how it works.

[cookie1]

Fair enough. As Kathryn said from a consultant's point of view the stoganoff was the best.  I mis understood, I thought you were making them your self.

Enjoy your machine when it arrives.

I only say strog as I think it is more impressive than a soup. A soup you just generally leave on the stove to simmer away anyway and you don't get that impact. Where as a strog would generally require some attention while it is cooking!! (except for the TMX of course  ) As one of my customers said when it was cooking...now what do I do lol ... and proceeded to clean up after her daughter

I wanted to go strog for those sorts of reasons, but we have not been shopping yet, and have almost everything for the pumpkin soup, so it will depend what time I actually get home from work, and if I can convince DH that the strog would be better - and I've been hanging out for strong for weeks now, but we have soup often.

I will make a pumpkin soup anyway either tonight or tomorrow as we have a large pumpkin that needs using, but maybe for the "demo" the strog.  will see.

Either way I am hoping it will be tasty, and the TMX results in less dishes (my DH cooks most meals in our house (I bake, he "cooks") but I have to do the cleaning up - and he uses LOTS of dishes when cooking)

Ha ha, you will love the TMX then. My DH is a wonderful cook and I love it when he cooks for us, BUT prior to TMX I was sure that he used every jolly pot and spoon in the kitchen in the process and yes I was on cleaning up duty.

Whatever you have will impress you Jules and then you can really 'go'. Have fun.

Well went the beef strog - very yummy - esp with a dollop of sour cream to serve.

Now what to make?  I have a batch of lemon spread cooking at the moment. 

Maybe I should just get baking these 5 mini bears I need to make by sat - yes they dont need TMX though but it still needs to be done

Opps Tim is singing

The lemon spread is very sweet, but rather simplier to make than the batch I made on the weekend.

[~ - Jules - ~]

Well the lemon spread was more like shop bought lemon spread than what I made on the weekend.  But so much easier, so will depend on time as to which I make.

We also made some hot chocolates - which were super chocolately, but tasty.

Now to find some party food to tomorrow   (have started a thread in the recipe request section too)

I'm glad things are going well Jules.
