Chit Chat / Frozen lemons
« on: November 06, 2012, 04:57:52 am »
I was sent this a few days ago by email... has anyone tried this?

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted.
How can you use the whole lemon without waste?
 
Simple.. place the washed lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods.
 
Sprinkle it to your vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, whisky, wine.... the list is endless.

Chit Chat / Preserved lemons
« on: September 11, 2012, 05:22:37 am »
Last year I did 3 jars of preserved lemons, but they all went moldy on top.  I have since read that the lemons should be kept completely covered by the lemon juice, but mine kept floating
So any suggestions for keeping the lemons under the juice??
thanks

Chit Chat / How would I...?
« on: July 08, 2012, 03:45:02 am »
I have a recipe for a strawberry semifreddo and the recipes says
place the egg, egg yolks, vanilla and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and using a handheld electric mixer, beat for 6-8 mins or until thick.  Remove from heat and beat for a further 6-8 mins until cool

Any ideas on how to do that in the TM?
Thanks

Special Diets / GF pastry for meat pie
« on: May 08, 2012, 09:27:08 am »
My gs 13yr is coeliac and is missing his meat pies and sausage rolls  I have tried a few GF pastry recipes, but none taste right (his words).  Does anyone have a recipe? His family have bought some from a GF shop south Perth and they taste great, so there must be a recipe out there. Thanks

Chit Chat / Jamu
« on: March 03, 2012, 01:49:13 am »
I am presently on holiday in Bali and have just read a very interesting article by Shari in the Bal Advertiser about Jamu.  Jamu is the Indonesian traditional medicine made from herbs, that comes in the form of a drink, capsule or paste.  The article explains about its history and also gave some recipes.  With the kind permission of Shari I have included a couple to try.  I can't wait to get home to try them.
Jamu Giner Tea
Warming tea which helps to settle stomach. Antimicrobial, antibiotic and anti inflammatory

ginger root (Jahe)  200g
Pandan leaf (Daun pandan)  3 leaves
Spring water  1ltr
Raw sugar  (Gula pasir)  150g

Slice ginger root and bring to the boil, add sugar.  Boil for 10 mins, or until desired potency of ginger.  Remove from heat and add pandan leaves.  Cool and serve

Aloe Vera and Corn Mask
Draws out toxins, smoothes and tones the skin
stbls fresh aloe Vera gel
1 cob of fresh sweekt corn

With a knife cut off the kernals of corn. remove the skin from the Aloe Vera. Put in the blender until creamy.  apply to the face or body.  Wiat until dry and remove with tepid water

To see the article go to   http://www.baliadvertiser.biz/
click on the page with the face, and go to page 8-9

I am quite fascinated by this and have just bought a book about Jamu a bookshop here


I am not sure just what topic this post should be in, so please feel free to move it if neccassary

Chit Chat / What I have learnt from this Forum!
« on: January 27, 2012, 06:54:05 am »
I have had my beloved Maurice for over 2 years and still in love with him   What I have learnt from reading all the wonderful posts on the forum is
1. Not to be worried if something doesn't turn out perfectly the first time.  Try again.
2. Improvise. If I don't have the correct ingredient in the pantry, look to see what I can substitute
3. I am not the only buyer of cook books!
4. Try something new
5. I can rely on the forum to come up with the answers to any questions I mayhave

I am sure there is more

Today I cooked my boiled eggs, made apricot jam, made pesto for the freeezer, and now Isa's Rolls.   Someone asked me today if I used Maurice everday.  YES

Scenerio... I had left over roast chicken, next day made a curry.  Now have left over curry which I have made into pies using the piemaker.  These will go into the freezer
Hope this is is OK.  How many times can you reheat left overs?

Chit Chat / WA children with Coeliac
« on: November 23, 2011, 11:04:59 pm »
My grandson 12yrs, has the blood test to confirm that he most probably has Coeliac, but now has to have the Endoscopy op to confirm it.   However my daughter has been told that there are no WA private hospitals that will do the test on children and that she will have to wait for public and that could take months.  Does anyone know if that is correct and if so how long is the normal waiting time?
I am now looking up the forum for recipes!.  Thank goodness for TX

Chit Chat / zoku pops
« on: December 14, 2010, 12:02:56 am »
Has anyone tried these?  They sound very intriguing and healthy

They freeze in 7 minutes. Thinking it might be a good thing to have for the school holidays and to try and get the grandkids to eat moe variety.
They cost about $69 I think

Chit Chat / I have to get a life!
« on: October 15, 2010, 04:17:54 am »
Hi all you fellow Thermomix fanatics.  Here I am sitting in a caravan, in York, WA which is about 90kms from where I live in Perth. the camping ground is lovely, full of bird life, and surrounded by trees. and here I am reading the Thermomix forum!  Yes we bring Maurice with us and tonight we are having Swiss Beef.  I look for recipes that do not have too many ingredients. Last night was chicken curry. 
Does anyone else take their Thermomix on camping holidays. What do they cook?
cheers
Kay

Introduce Yourself / Another new owner from Perth
« on: October 24, 2009, 03:49:33 am »
I have had my TM for 3 weeks and like everyone else just love it... and whats more so does my husband who has now started looking through the recipes books and has started expirementing.  I think its because it tells him exactly what to do and he feels in control!  My daughter also has one so we daily compare recipes
Love all the chat within this group

Kay,
