Title: Greetings from Tassie!
Post by: mariahswind on June 08, 2013, 12:16:13 pm
My Thermie will be arriving a week from today! I hesitate to say this but I won mine! I am so excited to have one and look forward to learning lots and lots and using it to it's fullest potential!

I live way down on the Tasman Peninsula. We endeavor to make as much as we can from scratch to avoid all the nasty additives in food these days. I am dreading making butter this week but have to because we are out! I am dreading it because I know how much easier it's going to be with Thermie!.

Hello and welcome to the forum mariahswind and congratulations on your win.  It doesn't matter how we end up with one, we are one big happy family here and would begrudge no-one winning such a lovely prize. The batch of butter you have to make will be your last before your kitchen helper comes along then you will find it a lot easier.  Have fun with it and do let us know what you are making. :)

Welcome MW.  Use the Forum and you will be able to make most things without additives.  Butter is a dream to make but read the comments on the Forum.

Welcome to the forum, awesome win, you will love the Thermomix especially since it seems you are into making a lot of basic products it is the best machine , could live without one now.

thank you all for your very warm welcome!

there are a group of pages on facebook that get together and offer giveaways on a monthly basis. Earlier in the year I entered one that had one Thermie to win knowing that the only way I am ever gonna have one is if I win it. I didn't win that one but then a few months later I get notification there is a second big giveaway for mothers day in may. It had 2 thermies, 1 kleenmaid oven, and  4 robomaids to win... Never did I dream I would win but when I found out I was one of the 7 winners I thought it's probably one of the robomaids or the oven (which I rent and since it's a wall one I would find useless) Anyhow I was soooooo happy to find out I was one of the thermie winners! So I must be meant to have a thermie then! Also got $1000 in groceries from woolies to make it the most awesome prize I've ever won!

If you want to check out any upcoming giveaways https://www.facebook.com/ToutMonAmour?fref=ts is the FB Page to find out about them through.

Amazing!  Well done!  Hopefully you are already set up with a consultant to deliver it to you.  There is a lovely lady called Sandra who represents Thermomix on the Tasman Peninsula.  You may be aware that the Thermomix teams around Tasmania just raised funds to present a Thermomix to Dunalley Primary School and in fact raised enough to present two!  Look forward to getting to know you as you contribute here.  All the best on your Thermomix journey.  Watch the http://www.thermomix.com.au Online Store Cooking Classes (selecting Tasmania from the drop down menu) and you will see the cooking classes available in Clarence coming up soon.  CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi All!
I got my thermie yesterday! So pleased.

This morning I made porridge. And for lunch I reheated a soup.

Looking forward to my new life in the kitchen LOL!

Thank you Cecelia! Sandra is an exisitng friend and even though I won it I was able to place the order through her! She delivered it yesterday and I had demo along with delivery so I could get my ThermoServer. A few of us will be looking at taking some of the classes at some point. And no I wasn't aware of the Dunalley School getting presented with at Thermomix! That will be great for them to have two!
