Andie, thanks so much for that. I didn't know. I will buy a thermometer when I'm shopping and start using it. I sometimes have raw cakes in the middle. Well slightly raw anyway, but the tester comes out clean.

I've always used Cadburys. I'll try the Woolies one.

I'm pretty sure spud shed is WA only. The owner had an argument with the WA potato board and set up on his own several years ago. We have only  recently had one set up near us. It is actually built on Commonwealth land at the small plane airport and trades 24 hours a day.  We have very restrictive trading hours here in WA. I find that products in season are really nice there but you do have to select carefully. I would even go just for the milk as I now pay $1.79 for 2 litres of milk not what the supermarkets are asking.

This looks different farfallina. I made some rosti the other day and wasn't impressed. I'll try your recipe though as it is quite different.

I was really pleased with it too , thanks. I had to check that it was actually my plates it was sitting on. This doesn't need 'plating up' as it looks so good naturally. Not that I plate up-by the time I serve it gets thrown onto the plate and thrown down throats and then gently thrown into the sink and washed.

I loved last year's festive book and have made many of the recipes from it. I was inspired by tasting them at the festive cooking class. I loved going to sit in a lecture theatre and see all the things being made and am a little disappointed that they ae being done locally here this year. I do realise what a massive thing it would be logistically though. It seemed to have become another part of Christmas preparation. I'm not going to a festive class this year as I had planned to take a friend who is purchasing in the new year but she couldn't make it, so I made the decision not to go. I'll probably regret it.

VHJ you're not the only one who reads the junk mail- we fight over it here. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like Eat, Pray, Love.

It's good to read all of the above. For the price we really should get many years from the machine. Mine does get used very frequently, several times a day on an average day, even if only to prepare things for meals not cooked in the TMX. I think once we have owned a TMX we could never be without one again.

I'd love one. My DH says I should do one  :D :D :D :D. Even just a selection of tried and true recipes that you have used in the van/tent would be ok. I make risottos and one pan meals mainly. Things that can be whipped together quickly and easily.

I hope things are thermomixing along nicely for you. What have you been making? (when you get time to return to the forum :D)

Hi and welcome Janine and MsTwinkles

Janine I hope the fire down your way is out this morning. We got heaps of the smoke up here in the southern suburbs, it must have been awful down your way.

MsTwinkles, hopefully the Thermomix will find that hidden gene for cooking. Good luck.

This sounds similar to one I make farfallina except I put smoked oysters down the centre instead of tuna. It's really nice.

Welcome SusyK from another Perthie. You sound like you and your TMX have bonded well.
