Had them for dinner last night, with a few other bits and pieces of course. They were lovely. I wonder if you could do half carrot and half broccoli or cauliflower to impress guests, or would it end up a big grey slurry of steamed vegies?

I've been out and bought the ingredients I didn't have for this bread and am looking forward to making it. Will keep you posted.

I use the Lowan dried yeast and keep it in the freezer and it lasts really well. Although since the birth of "Termite" I have been using a lot more. I tend to use 2 teaspoons for a packet of yeast and it seems to work well without leaving a yeasty flavour which can be a problem.
Bought my bread tin yesterday so will be making more 5 Seed Bread today. Alos hope to call at Loose Produce and buy lots more seeds and things, it's the only place I can buy rye seed unfortunately and I love rye bread.

I used cream this time but I think I'll use skinny tinny next time. A little less calories.

They are in the Varoma as we type/read.

My mix was very wet. As ILB said there was no way you could have shaped it. We really liked it so won't make any alterations to it. I think it will bake better in a bread tin though.

I have a giggle  everytime I see this on the 'home page'. It says Breakfast. Re CarolineW's husband....... I have this vision of CarolineW's husband being consumed in hundreds of homes for breakfast. Sorry-my sick sense of humour.  Do forgive me CarolineW.

Ooh how did I miss these? They are on the menu for tonight. May even make them when I can drag myself away from this site.

My "Termite" was used to make dip, chop heaps of vegies for our crustless quiche, make a batch of chocolate and almond cookies (they were a bit dry) make heaps of icing sugar for the cupcakes I made and grind almonds for the macaroons I made. Oh and the varoma'd vegies for tea.
How did I exist before this machine arrived, it sure makes life easier.

I do the meat part of the spag bog on the stove and the pasta in the TMX.
I try to make as much as I can in the TMX but I still make my cakes the old way. Biscuits are made in the TMX. I still use my slow cooker for those types of meals too. I'm now using the varoma for most vegies and dumplings and chicken with sauces etc. In fact I used a saucepan last night and thought 'gee it's ages since I used one of these.' I still use my Easy Cook for roasts too.
Despite this the TMX still seems to get used twice a day on average.

I wonder if an apple liquer would do? I guess it would be ok. I bought some in Burra last year at the apple cidery place and haven't even opened it yet! (Too busy eating stuff I bought at Maggie Beers and Beerenburg, not to mention Seppeltsfield). Let us know how it goes Judy. My family aren't too fond of pear things.

I made Bacon, leek and tomato risotto. I only made enough for the 3 of us, although it may feed 4 small eaters. (we're hungry folks).
Bacon, Leek and Tomato Risotto
3 cups water
3 good teaspoons vegie stock
3 rashers of bacon
1 leek
1 clove garlic
200g arborio rice
1/4 cup white wine (I used verjuice)
125g small cherry tomatoes, halved
45g olive
1/4 cup parmesan
Grate the parmesan for 3 seconds on speed 9.
Place garlic clove into TM bowl and chop for 5 seconds on speed 7(added by Thermomixer - may not be right!)
Chop white part of leek and place in the bowl with the garlic and sliced bacon and oil. 2 minutes, 100o speed 1.
Add rice and wine. Cook 2 minutes at 100o reverse speed soft.
Add stock and water, cook for 7 minutes 100oReverse, speed soft.
Add the halved tomatoes and cook a further 10 minutes as above. Place in thermoserver, stir through the parmesan and let sit for 5 minutes.

Made Bacon, leek and tomato risotto last night. Custard for the apple pie I had bought at the Model A rally. (fundraising)

Wow, even 'The Australian' has Thermomix in it. The recipe looks fun, might convince the family they need to try something with pears in.
