Chit Chat / Re: Why did you choose your forum name plus photos of our kitchens

My forum name is short for my initials - DW (Debbie W). I earned the nickname deedub on a school trip where there were 3 Debbies and I've used it as a pseudonym ever since.
I've attempted to add a profile pic, hope it works. I'll post kitchen pics once I've got my TMX (if kitchen is clean enough  ;D)

News about Thermomix / Re: DINNER SPINNER

This is great! Just solved another Xmas pressie problem - needed something for my friend who's about to take delivery of a TMX and has an addiction to cookbooks (which I gather are hard to get thru Thermomix). Plus she can test the recipes for me - result! Have placed my order...

Introduce Yourself / Re: Clearing the decks...

I don't know about organised - you should see the state of my house  :D. Although I am a Virgo.....
Just found some Maggie Beer burnt fig & caramel icecream in the freezer which clearly has to go! Sacrifices, sacrifices....
Seriously though, it's very unlike me to be this prepared - must be keen! I was very interested to read that a lot of people have had a few problems adjusting to the TMX; must try to lower my expectations until I've got the hang of it. Unfortunately I won't have much time this weekend to play with it!

Introduce Yourself / Clearing the decks...

Well my TMX arrives on Saturday, so in the meantime I have;
- emptied the freezer of any 'dodgy' items thereby freeing up my containers for yummy TMX meals
- ditto with the pantry, making space for whole ingredients
- put in an order with my tupperware consultant for more containers for the pantry/freezer
- made a space on my counter for 'The Wiz' (as it shall be known)
- started making ice cubes for sorbet
- bought ingredients for stock, hommus and butter chicken for my first attempts
- cautiously bought small-ish amount of bread flour as have NEVER made bread before
- bought herbs & some salad vegies to plant in the garden
- bookmarked a whole heap of websites/recipes which I've found on this forum, which is excellent by the way!
Let me see, have I forgotten anything?

About me - I'm a single time poor mum with 2 DD's who is hoping the TMX will lift me out of my cooking lethargy and inspire me to cook healthier and more often. What is really great is that 2 of my friends also ordered a TMX from the same demo (although mine is arriving first tee hee) so hopefully we can egg each other on to try lots of new things.
See you around!
