Following a recent discussion with some friends I am interested in starting a thread relating to Cancer fighting foods, recipes etc, I know there are a few of us here who have had our own battle with Cancer and there must be  wealth of knowledge from so many members.

There have been many books written on the subject with some being practical and helpful while others being of the planet loony tune.  I always think  local knowledge is best. There may be some ideas regarding eating while undergoing radiation or chemo therapy as well as just plain everyday health eating after a diagnosis.


Any ideas? 

I may say that while I was undergoing Radiation therapy I had a strong aversion to coffee. The  smell of it made me nauseous and it took me several years to get back to drinking the odd cup after being a coffee lover. I have often wondered if it was a natural crazy preventative!!

In any case I do drink coffee sometimes just to justify the cost of the damn expensive  coffee machine but my new found love of tea (thank you Hally) makes me feel better.

Another absolute winner

Mustard Lamb page 112



The lamb fillit was $55 a kilo so I had had the gal butcher cut the top side from leg and used it. About $11.

Cooked the leeks and mash in the Thermomix. I never peel my potatoes that I why they look a bit dark.

No celery hearts  so used witloff

The sauce is so simple and delicious.

Will make this again.



Put the leeks in the thermoserver while cooking mash then put the lamb in the thermoserver while making the sauce.

FINAL DETAILS OF OUR HOTEL BOOKING IN TASMANIA FOR FORUMFEST 2014

Their email address seems to have changed:
reservations@hgchobart.com.au


Toll free number 1800 753 379


FROM THE GRAND CHANCELLOR


Hope you are having a pleasant week.

It has been decided to make it easier for your attendees that they call and
quote a rate that we will call Thermomix Forum Fest 2014 which will be the
quoted rates below for their stay.

Yes all details below are correct and confirmed.

Room  Only Rates

Mountain Side  Room Only:        $230 per room per night

Harbour View Room  Only:         $265 per room per night

Additional Buffett Breakfast add $20 per person per room per night

There are a limited number of rooms available at the Seniors discount rate of 50% off the rack rates

Mountain Side Room                   $178 per room per night

Harbour View  Room.                   $195 per room per night

We would also like to take advantage of the meal offer of  $58 per head with a choice of 3 entrees, 3 mains and 3 desserts for a booking at 1800 on 25 Sat October 2014.

We will need around 20 rooms more or less. We are mostly singles.  There are some seniors .

When making a reservation we must mention the Thermomix Forum Fest group booking.

Seniors when booking must mention not only the Thermomix  Forum Fest group booking but must also also mention they are requiring a Seniors Discount. Seniors must be aware that this discount may not be available at the time and their booking may  revert to the previously negotiated price above.

Bookings will be made by individual attendees.

Bookings will be for the following dates. In on 23/10/2014 out on 26/10/2014. Some attendees may book for less or more nights during this time and will confirm their own dates at the time of booking.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart.

Our Reservations Manager is setting up the rates in the system for you,  as
mentioned all your guests will have to state is something along the lines of
:
" I'm wanting to book a room for the following dates, I was told to quote
the Thermomix rate..."

Because it's a specially set up rate bookings will not be able to be done on
line however they can send an email to this address requesting a room as
long as they specific which kind or room they're choosing, check in and
check out dates and a credit card will be requested for each booking just to
guarantee it in the system. No payment is required until the time of
departure from each guest so the credit card is simply a standard guarantee
of the booking at time of booking.

I have passed your details to the Restaurant Tasman Manager Tegan Magee who
will be in touch with you in regards to the dinner as stated below.

We are so pleased you have decided your accommodation will be with the hotel
whilst in Hobart and look forward to welcoming you to Hotel Grand Chancellor
Hobart.

Should you have any enquiries please do not hesitate to call me or email me
at any time and I will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your time on the phone, it was a pleasure speaking to you .

Many Thanks

Kind Regards,

Thinking some arrive Thursday. An adventure on Friday. Saturday all day roaming Hobart and the Salamanca markets. MONA . Dinner. Sunday maybe brunch.

Staying at the above hotel.

Any and all suggestions very welcome and anyone in Tassie who can help with ideas would be lovely. If not anyone with any experience in Hobart please raise your hand.  I am going down next month and will be pretty busy but I will at least be able to tell you about  the weather. I will be staying at the Sullivan Cove apts .

There are many wonderful restaurants in Hobart but it is a busy time so booking will certainly be necessary for hotel and eating.  Saturday evening meal booked at the above hotel.

Tasmania is a small place so we would all be delighted to meet as many locals as possible.

They were the Jans, we had 3 in our house. Such lovely ladies - but everyone was great.

There were some fun photos.

Should we come back there next year CP?

I heard crying in my bar sink. I saw what I thought was a frog down the drain. I removed the drain pipe and out popped the snake which probably was eating the frog which was the crying I heard. The snake retreated back into the drain and is still there.
