going to see if i can put a poll in to decide between converting new recipes or doing christmas stuff... wish me luck lol
yay it worked!!
now don't worry, we will do both, we're just voting on which to do first ;) i have put 14 days on the voting so we won't start the next thread until first week in Nov, unless you're despearte to start earlier :)
-
Looks pretty clear cut :D :D :D Get your thinking caps on. So has has a fav to convert? :D :D :D :D Just putting people off so I get a head start. ;) ;)
-
Gosh I am ready for Mrs T's facility. I can't decide as any is fine. Oh well here goes. Christmas for me.
-
Hmm now what have I got in either category that I can contribute?? That will decide my voting!!! lol :-))
-
i was thinking i'd make the christmas one a bit more open - so either converting or sharing a recipe, OR reviewing one that's here... any other ideas?
-
As much I as I hate to admit how close Christmas is, I do think it is pretty appropriate so that we all have time to plan to use what we like ;D
-
Christmas for me. Testing those decadent yuletide recipes- yum ;D ;D
-
Thats very clever - I tried to cheat and vote a couple more times, and it wouldn't let me :o :o :o

mwahahahhaha

CP63, you naughty girl. Were you under the influence or just having a bet each way?
I think I may have tried to as well, can't remember. Not under the influence just a senior. The hard drive in the memory only stores the essential stuff now a days. :-)) :-))

:D I just wanted to boost up the results for my suggestion ;D Thought we could really open up the range of recipes with our favourite worldwide chefs. Recently I really enjoyed a show on TV about Margaret Fulton, and as I have a couple of her books I thought it would be nice to have more converted TMX recipes from such an icon. I know she has just put out a Christmas book , but I don't know whether its the Christmas Scrooge coming out in me, however Christmas books just don't do it for me. (Having said that, I will get the TM book that has just come out haha)

It was a great program and featured some of my favourite chefs. I was fortunate enough to be on a shared table with Margaret and her daughter Suzanne on Monday and congratulated her on the program. She says that the main thing was being able to record some of the icons apart from herself, such as Damien, Cheong, Stephanie (although some of the archival footage was actually Stephanie's sister!), and other chefs.
She is still very switched on at 85 and was quick to point out to people that they were given teeth to chew with, when the tenderness of meat was being discussed.
I should get back to converting recipes rather than gallivanting around eating out.
-
Oh you lucky thing! She certainly has a twinkle in her eye and doesn't miss a beat. I loved seeing her kitchen -- hasn't even changed from the old days. I have been ducking into secondhand bookshops to see if there are any old copies of her books, as mine are the new ones, and I just want to have a look at the oldies.
-
Gallivanting is good.

Her older books are wonderful. I have a couple that I still refer to frequently. She is a wonderful lady. Thermomixer you were a lucky man to meet her and her daughter.

cream puff, we will definitely do the converting next don't worry!!
