Marina, interesting. My DIL gave me one. I find chopping on 3 or 4 does the same, that is doesn’t move up the bowl.  Maybe I should try again.

I recently bought this food mixer and chopper https://www.en.cuisamix.com/products/mixix?fbclid=IwAR3UEYaeS7D0S3vMGanGdTua1_fW6vgJl9ARLiT6FyVRL-DGJAJydnwabDk_aem_AeEUf1oEFaFZD3k6W5KQ0X94TBEC3gBkL6k7b_PzkAzycLBauT_KipMe5EWbzszMubUZJdYj66OTdPGF1QSLoCZp&utm_campaign=23858054690810291&utm_content=23858054877710291&utm_id=23858054690810291&utm_medium=paid&utm_term=23858054830260291&variant=47236076798297 for my TMX. The first time I used it, to make pesto, I wasn't impressed and tossed it into the cupboard.  Then one day I was chopping garlic and onion and thought I would try it on that and it worked really well, so it has come out of the depths of my cupboard and onto my TMX where it should have been all the time!  Not expensive and when I got mine, it was two for one.

It looks like this post has shot out really wide on the page, sorry about that.

Marina they will teach you how to use the crutches and possibly get the correct height for you . We put like foam noddles on them to make it easier too. There are different types of crutches it takes awhile to get use to it . A knee scooter will help when out and about .
As you have said, K Atie, I am anticipating that the physio will help with the crutches - I have got both types - elbow and full length so I have a choice.  I ordered a knee scooter today though, they are not as expensive as I had thought they would be.  My main worry is that I have got a 20 step staircase that I have to scramble up when I get home and that will be a huge challenge for me - scrabbling up on my backside!!  Ah well, what will be will be, no use getting wound up about it all.  I am finding it nigh on impossible not to use my foot and I must just do my best.

Starting to stress now about my operation next week.  I've been practicing with crutches for the past couple of days and just cannot seem to be able to use them correctly.  I have very little upper body strength and am somewhat overweight - the combination is not good for non-weightbearing mobility support.  I think I am going to have to get a knee scooter so that I can move around once I am back from hospital.

Keeping in mind that spiralised zucchini are called zoodles ... today I made poodle and sweetpoodle soup (clue: think of potato)

Love it. I’m going to make some poodle soup when it cools down. 😀😀😀😀😀
.me too.
Made 5 chicken / veg pies but find 1/2 is enough for a meal. Very filling. Great soup weather.
Going to make the herb paste recipe from Cookidoo.
