Welcome - really looks to be exponential growth in Qld (at least in those able to navigate the internet too !!)
Hope you have a great time once you get your little treasure :-*
-
Welcome. I 'think' I know exactly where Yungaburra is, that's the place I would have gone over to from Atherton, am I correct? If so I loved it up there, so beautiful.
Good luck with getting the demo and purshasing your Thermomix.

Hi Obbie! I'm a consultant in Malanda! There's lots of us up here - hope to meet you sometime :) Jo

Hi Robyn, welcome to the forum. Love FNQ! Sounds like you don't need convincing to buy your TMX - roll on demo.
-
Well i just ordered it tonight, instead of waiting for a demo.
i get it in 2 weeks.
I can have a demo when it is delivered.
Thanks,
Robyn
-
How exciting for you.
-
Way to go Robyn - we need more decisive prospective owners out there!!! Enjoy your new addition to the family.
-
Easily conned by us ;D ;D ;D - no you'll love it
-
How lovely Robyn. I live in Cairns and wish I could get up to those wonderful Yungaburra markets more often.

Hi Gretchen, yes the markets are great.
i buy alot of fruit and veges from road stalls too.
Yungaburra markets this saturday.
can't wait to get my machine.
Robyn
-
Gee I miss the road side stalls we had were I grew up :( I would buy so much from them now as it is all generally vine / tree ripened fruit and veg. Can't get much better than that! :)
-
I know what you mean Kathryn. The tastes are just so different when compared to the cold store fruit and veg.
It does pay to have a good look around your local area though. After I'd whinged so many times about how hard it is to find organic produce around here a friend informed me that there is a shop at a local organic farm about 5 minutes drive from my house. They sell what they grow at reasonable prices and stock a few other essential organic items also (olive oil, oats, pasta, chocolate etc). Didn't I feel like a goose!!! :-)) :-)) :-))
P.S - I also just found out that my other fruit and veg store is now stocking non homogenised milk and 2L cream (45% cream) sourced from a local farm. No more complaining from me!!!

Welcome to the forum. I am from Kairi NQ and I am also a consultant like Jo. Hope to to meet you soon.

Hello! I'm another Tablelander, but not a consultant... :) I went to Yungaburra markets today and got lots of fresh produce to make some ketchup, pasta sauce, stock concentrate and yummy meals in my Thermomix. I have had mine 3 months or so and use it every day, on average 4 times a day!
-
Hi Everyone,
Gosh, all this FNQ talk is making me homesick! I'm a Cairns girl originally. I'll be back visiting family at Christmas and I can't wait. I'm living in Canberra now and we had a freezing day - there's snow on the mountains at the moment.
Enjoy the wonderful warmth everyone and happy thermomixing!

i can't wait to make the sauces, stock concentrate, and basic stuff, once my thermomix arrives.
At the moment, we have so many mulberrys, so i can do a jam.
we often get loads of fruit and veges given to us, so it will come in handy.
very excited for next week.
Robyn
-
Are you coming to the cooking class on the 5th October? Hope to see you there! :)
-
Monday night isn't it.
its hard for me to go anywhere at night.
i never know what time my husband will come home,
a daytime one would be great, if possible.
a weekend class would be ok too.
Jo ( consultant) mentioned it, when i ordered my thermonix.

Hi Robyn, nice to meet you.
I LOVE Yungaburra. DH & I stay there for our Anniversary each year and we also go up from time to time when we just need a break from the rat race.
Great to see another North Queenslander around.
Thermomixer, am I casting aspersions on your good name, by misinterpreting an innocent comment, or were you trying to start some sort of riot insinuating Queenslanders as a rule don't know how to use the internet?
-
He's a stirrer Molly. ^^ ^^ ^^ ;D ;D
-
With a warped sense of humour :D :D :D You'll get used to him Molly. ;) ;)
-
Sick ^^ ^^ ^^ Sorry - not just Queenslanders get it from us Vics ;) :-* :-*
Actually, I'm appalled at how few Vics have managed to find the forum - dummies ???
-
I could write something here, but I will resist the temptation. ;) ;) ;)
It's a great forum anyway. :P
-
Another "North Qlder" originally here.... Yungaburra is one of my favourite places on the Tablelands (having grown up in Mareeba and Cairns). Family is still up there but I rarely get back to visit these days! :(
Welcome to the forum Robyn! ;D
-
Thanks for the heads up Cookie.
I actually first came across Thermomixer's wicked sense of humour when he made a post about women belonging in the kitchen or something along those lines. Can't find it now but I could see from his post and the responses that he is a bit of a troublemaker ;)
Thermomixer, you had better be careful. Last time I looked on Karen's Poll, there were more of us than you :D
-
As I said in the post above - can't believe that more Vics don't join - we seem to be the backward state here !! :-*
-
Actually, I'm appalled at how few Vics have managed to find the forum - dummies ???
And that statement's going to encourage them? :o :-))
;D
-
He may be driven out of the state and over the border to S.A. - heaven help us :D :D :D :D
-
More likely to follow my fellow former Vics to Qld - make room Molly ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Always room for one more up here in the sunshine 8)
Edit: I guess that would actually be two more really though wouldn't it? I am assuming you are not leaving Mrs Thermomixer behind!
-
Mrs T wouldn't leave her new grandson, would she ??? ??? ???

Yeah, but MrsT is very quiet and reserved and smaller than me - so you'll hardly even notice she's there and doesn't take up much space ;D ;D ;D

That's a great idea Robyn, I'm sure you'll have lots of questions by then. You seem to be cooking up a storm well done.
-

Now to make more sorbets for kids today and jam.
Robyn
-
Go you good thing - now you're on a roll. Good idea with the demo - refresh things and don't develop bad habits like me ;)

the kids loved watermelon sorbet, can't wait for the mangos to be ready soon.
this machine is brilliant.
