Title: Hi From Ed and Lees Adelaide SIL
Post by: Heidis on October 01, 2014, 09:19:25 pm
Hello Everyone I am finally here and checking out my new toy. So excited to be here in Konigstein. Have seen so much already in 5 days and it is fantastic. Ed has been making such yummy food and I have so much to learn before the massive trip to Downunder. Can't believe how popular they are here in Germany and even the family in Hannover just love their TM. I feel guilty to be taking Ed and Lees TM before the new one arrives. Well I am not really, they can learn to live without one for 2 days... Only kidding. Speak to you all later.

Hi and welcome to the forum.  You have a head start with Ed and Lee to help you with your TMX and you already know about us here on the forum.  Adelaide is a great place for forum members, too, so you will never be stuck for support.

Maybe you can cook for Ed and Lee during their TMX-less days??

Welcome Heidi, DSIL!!! So lovely to have you here.  Better cook up before Thermie leaves us for warmer weather in sunny Adelaide.  I will visit her in two weeks.  Can't believe there will be a space on my bench with only a memory....

I am so happy to be on the forum.  I will have to practice 1 recipe per day and am pleased that Lee will be back in Adelaide the week after I get back. Hopefully I won't have too many disasters. ?

Welcome to the forum Heidis, you will love your TM31 and as has already been said, the support on this forum is fantastic.  You'll have Ed & Lee on tap as well so I can't see any problems.  Cook up a storm when you get back home and by the time Ed visits, you'll be able to show him how well you're doing.  I hope the machine travels well back to Australia and the airport staff are gentle with it.  If you have any problems with the machine, let me know and I can put you in touch with the local Adelaide technician.  Enjoy your time with the boys, I bet they are showing you a great time.

Hi I am so glad to be able to have so much support.  Lee has already given me guidance on getting it through customs ie take the blade off first.  Ed is actually going to take me to Vorwerk to get some new parts and a couple of cookbooks. Although I can speak a little German I will have to get Ed to translate the tricky words. Can't wait to get back and order English ones. Any great recommendations.?

Hi Everyone We are at present sitting in Vienna airport waiting for our flight to Salzburg. Hard life... I have only just got decent Internet access now and so really appreciate the book list. Tomorrow we will be back in Frankfurt and I am tasked to prepare dinner in the TM . Well the entree at least.

TM 31 is on its way to Adelaide today.  Still no sign of TM 5. See below the handover and the struggle the followed.....

Thankfully Heidi and TM31 made it safely to Adelaide.  But I am chucking that a number of kindly customs people interrogated her, checking out the "mysterious" item in her carry on luggage.  Ha ha ha is all I have to say!!!  Serve her right for stealing my baby!!!!!!!!  And do you know what I had for dinner tonight? Half an old croissant!!!  Yes, that is what I have been reduced to.  If you stop hearing from me, it is because I have died of malnutrition.  So much for darling SIL!!!!!

Xxxxxoooooo

I know I have said it before but it's good to have you back Leesmac.  Your posts are very entertaining but I feel your loss and hope the wait isn't too long.

Leesmac, hope the wait isn't too long for you. It was lovely of you to give Heidi your TM31.

It is very obvious that you and Heidi get on very well Lee. That is fantastic. I hope the croissant wasn't stale. :D

Live from the aeroplane, Emirates to Melbourne.  Presently somewhere over India I think. Still no TM5 at my house but going to visit "Heidi's" TM31.  Having withdrawals.  So many parents from school keep asking me if it has arrived yet - talk about rubbing salt into the wound!

Xxxxx

Ed, enjoy your personal 'quality' time with the TM5 because I get the feeling when Lee comes back you wont get anywhere near the machine for quite a while!!!
