I think that there is a "select language" function (saw an unboxing on YouTube... hoping I am remembering correctly)

Nothing underneath, just perfectly flat bamboo. I think you could glue some felt over the whole bottom of the tray to protect your bench tops if you wanted - it would have to be strong glue to last though, I think.

I am an incorrigible dragger, a TM abuser - I can't help myself, I just can't adhere to the "no dragging Thermie across the counter" rule!

Of course, this problem would be solved if my TM had a permanent spot on the benchtop, but that's not going to happen in this house.

Anyway, I came across this tray in K-Mart today and it's the perfect size:
http://www.kmart.com.au/product/bamboo-serving-tray/114458

There is even clearance at the back so that the cord is not cramped, and there is plenty of room for the mixing bowl to sit next to the TM if needed.

So now I can drag to my heart's content and not worry about Thermie abuse!
Plus, it's a really nice tray.

I hope that this post will help others who are just as hopeless as me at sticking to the non-dragging rule.

Give the pastry a go!  I've only made the EDC one for pies and it's been great.  I've done that for the base and bought puff sheets for the top, but I think I prefer just the EDC pastry for the lot. 
I was scared of pastry, and for the pies was my first attempt in years (first ever TMX attempt) and now I make all sorts of pies. 

Oh, I found the quote button :)
Thanks for the pastry encouragement -it IS scary! I don't know why it is, but I should just bite the bullet and try it.

I hope I haven't missed anyone, I haven't been on a forum in years and I've forgotten how to acknowledge what everybody has said without looking like some kind of weirdo!

Yes, so nice to be coming into Winter - yay for comfort food weather!

It's awesome - Mum ate 3 today... now I have to see if I can find a pastry based on coconut oil, it's supposed to be good for Alzheimers patients. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but I will find out soon.

I'm glad my summaries are helping others too :)

Now I'm starting to wonder if I should have gotten the one that makes 4 pies at a time...

This thread is ridiculous! So I just had to summarize it and buy a piemaker. Uhh, did someone say something about cutting DOWN on appliances? Oh dear.

At least it was only $10 at an op shop, but I wish I had a pastry cutter.

Anyway, the summary - for those who are interested:

I made some kind of chickeny vegetable improvisation in the thermomix and gave it a test run tonight. It's a success!
I am still building up the courage to make my own pastry in the TM...

I don't know how I managed before evernote. I call it my external brain, it's such a great tool, especially with my memory!

This one looks so good, I put it on my must-try list.

I made a summary of the variations, you can find them here if you're interested:
