Title: Melbourne (Inner North) Newbie
Post by: Zelda72 on August 13, 2012, 06:40:03 am: Hi:

I'm Cate and I've just received my TM (after a few years of wanting one I finally took the plunge when I received an unexpected injection of funds!). I have two daughters (3 & 6) and a partner; all of whom love to eat.

I have a (neglected) blog (http://postimperfect.blogspot.com.au/) and I'm hoping to post some recipe tweaks as I start cooking (I put up a sponge today: not the greatest sponge, but a nice cake).

Cheers,
Cate

Post by: cookie1 on August 14, 2012, 02:49:37 am: Hi and welcome Cate. I could be mean and say with Melbourne weather you will be able to whip up a soup and a cold sorbet all for one day, but at the moment Perth has been a bit like that too. :D :D I hope you are enjoying your machine.

Whereabouts in Melbourne are you? I know we have members in Collingwood, Heidleberg, Clifton Hill and the CBD - we could almost form our own club!

I'm part of the Melbourne club too :-)

Gosh, no offense taken whatsoever. Didn't even cross my mind I've got no idea where people are from until they mention the weather or the time !

Cate

PS- I'm in Thornbury and would love to catch up with some of the other Melbournians.
PPS- just had my first TM fail! Trying to make butter and mis-read the recipe (put the water and cream in together... luckily cream's on sale at the local IGA).
Title: Re: Melbourne (Inner North) Newbie
Post by: Cuilidh on August 18, 2012, 01:37:27 am: We used to live in Pender Street, Thornbury many years ago. I've met a few of the local TMXers, and I agree, it would be good to arrange a get together at some stage (sadly, easier said than done!).

Post by: Wonder on August 18, 2012, 06:52:32 am: I'm between two of you in Heidelberg. I grew up on High St Northcote and my parents still live there and I have a sister in Woolton Ave Thornbury, I also seem to send half my life in Diamond Creek these days with DS at the new stadium watching basketball. A Melbourne catch up would be great, I don't know anyone with a TMX.
Title: Re: Melbourne (Inner North) Newbie
Post by: Cuilidh on August 18, 2012, 10:40:35 am: .... so, does anyone want to organise a Melbourne get-together - perhaps just a coffee or perhaps a picnic in the park in the summer? Wouldn't it be great to get some of the out of town members involved as well. I'm afraid I cannot put my hand up to organise anything due to time and work commitments, but perhaps there is someone else who has a bit of free time and enjoys organising things??

Post by: Crompo on August 18, 2012, 12:15:59 pm: Hi,

I am new to, I paid my deposit on Thursday and hope to have my Thermo next week. I am also a Northern Melbourne suburbs girl and I grew up in Fairfield and lived in Woolton ave when I first got married. Now I am in Macleod. I have been saving for quite a while and I am so happy to finally be getting my Thermomix.

Post by: judydawn on August 18, 2012, 02:08:01 pm: Hi Crompo, welcome to the forum. Nice to see Melbourne numbers swelling and isn't it such an exciting time waiting for your delivery.
Title: Re: Melbourne (Inner North) Newbie
Post by: Cornish Cream on August 18, 2012, 08:48:04 pm: Welcome to the forum Crompo.Have fun cooking when you receive your TM :)
Title: Re: Melbourne (Inner North) Newbie
Post by: Wonder on August 18, 2012, 10:12:20 pm: Welcome crompo, not far away in McLeod.

I would be interested in a get together but also can't put my hand up to organize at the moment due to a lot of other commitments I've already put my and up for and working but would be fine to help out after in the year.
Title: Re: Melbourne (Inner North) Newbie
Post by: achookwoman on August 18, 2012, 10:19:40 pm: Although I live out of Melbourne, in the Macedon Ranges, I would be prepared to travel to a Melb get together. Have long thought this a good idea. Problem is a venue.

Welcome Crompo, nice to have you join us.

Post by: Cuilidh on August 19, 2012, 01:48:39 am: Hi Crompo and welcome to the forum. You're going to love your TMX when it comes - in the interim, think about what you want to make first (check out suggestions on the forum), have a huge clean up (because you are not going to want to stop cooking once the TMX arrives) and try to be patient until the big day arrives.
