:)jonvic, I'm on iPad and I take a photo of the recipe needless to say I,have heaps of photo"s I tried making a recipe album but its a nuisance the iPad won't let you delete from one album .  The girls were talking about an app yesterday to put photos into and you can write notes I, might look at this.
It's called snapRecipes, I also have it and so far finding its great plus very easy to use. To me it was worth $1.99

@ Connors nan...just read this thread and I also have the recipe you were enquiring about, but see Deniser has kindly sent it to you

I had this dish at my demo on 22/3, really enjoyed it and have made it myself since with the tomato and capsicum in mine, preferred
it with these additions plus it gives the dish some colour.
My consultant forwarded it to me the day after my demo, she's great :)

Next time I would marinate the chicken first as I felt it was too bland taste wise even though the sauce was quiet tasty.
Very versatile dish though...I had made fresh bread that day too, so we had this with the soup along with my homemade herb butter :)

I have never thought too much about colour and safety - I always get red because it's my favourite colour and the car looks like it's going fast even when it's parked.

Hehe, love it....I've also heard on the car forum I belong to that rev heads always want to race red cars, so look out for them too  Mich :D

Kim that color looks really nice, I too like driving a white car and it doesn't show the dirt too much.
+1...we've gone from a white to a black to a silver and back to a white.
Loved black but too much of a pain to keep clean, it was like a dust magnet and dusty black cars just don't look nice.
Also dark colours show swirl marks and scratches  very easlily in sunlight....a lot of this is caused by incorrect washing methods though.

My only issue with white is that we own two turbo charged hatch backs and they do tend to leave a little black soot on the rear hatch lip,
which shows up on white!

I also think the type and style of a car just looks better in certain colours, but then Ive always loved cars, never used to be a fan of white
but now am (depending on the white) and yes, they can even look quiet shiny (wet look) depending on the plant job and products used....

Way too much info....typical me when Im passionate about something...Im tha same with my TM and iPads too :)

Hi France,
I often boil my eggs in the TM and haven't had them crack either, I just followed the EDC instructions
I only buy free range eggs but I was going to suggest the same as Judy in that you try them at room temp.
Just remember to decrease the cooking time by a minute or two depending on how you like them.

Mine had a tendency to crack on the stove top but only if I put them in hot water first or boiled them too rapidly.
Hope this helps :)

Edit update
I boiled two eggs today straight from fridge, no cracks.
How many do you boil at one time? Just wondered if you cooked - say 4-5 at a time whether they may vibrate against each other during cooking and cause cracking??
Hope it works out for you

Chit Chat / Re: Should I buy a Second bowl and Blade set?
« on: March 28, 2013, 11:01:26 am »
Wonder, I've just had a demo to get my second bowl/blade set at 1/2 price.
My understanding is you can either buy the set at full price without a demo or half price with it.
I didn't initially think I would have anyone to invite, but ended up with 5.
I really didn't want to have a demo but it was a good night and the girls enjoyed it.

Now it's over, Im so pleased I had one, easier for me to part with $195 (I couldn't justify paying $395 on top of the TM price) and it was more a want than a need, but I know it will definitely get used as there have already been times when I would have made use of it.

Oh... something important I completely forgot to mention when posting this.....I only had a one on one demo when I got my TM (cos I don't like holding demos) but found out that I couldn't get my FREE thermoserver until I had a demo, so had been waiting since Dec for the bowl/blade set 1/2 price offer so I could take advantage of the offer plus get my freebie.....

I knew I wasn't prepared to pay full price for the bowl on top of the cost of the TM, may have changed my mind down the track?
March was quiet a challenge to organize a demo because here in Vic we had two long weekends for a start, then TM consultants were away in Hong Kong one another weekend, didn't leave many suitable dates plus my hubby unexpectedly ended up in hospital
needing surgery and to just finish it all off we were without electricity one Sat for more than 7 hrs due to scheduled maintenance in our area...phew thank goodness I wasn't able to pre arrange the demo that day or the weekend hubby was out of action.

Now, I am really looking forward to receiving my second bowl, kind of feels like Ive earn't it! :D

Hi and welcome to the forum :)
I haven't tried scrabbled eggs in my TM, couldn't be bothered trying to clean the mess off the bowl and like many others find it so quick and mess free in a non stick frypan also.

The first thing my consultant and I made together was the veggie stock concentrate, so handy to have on hand, mine was salt free, so I froze
it in ice cube trays initially and transferred the cubes to a zip lock bag (I don't tolerate much salt)

I can also vouch for the super kitchen kit which has the scrubbie, spatula and small double ended cleaning brush.
I got the twin pack lovers kit - well worth it.
Use them all the time and I just love the little brush, bent mine at a 90 degree angle which allows me to get the small end under all blades with out having to remove them first....the only time I do so now is when Ive made bread doughs.
The other end is great for cleaning the lip either side of TM base (where the TM jug slots into)

You will find so many recipes and help on this forum, it just never sleeps :)

I always use my iPad on this forum, haven't experienced that at all Alexis?
Have you tried both minimizing the app and re booting your iPad?
More times than not, this will fix most hiccups :)
