Title: Real Newbie from Vancouver, Canada
Post by: lws11 on April 05, 2010, 04:03:42 pm: Hi All,

I've had to spend the last 10 minutes finding out just how to post on this so I'm REAL new to this format & the TM! I just got my TM last week after quizzing my new mother friend from the kids' school who raved about her TM. She's just immigrated from S.Africa where some of her friends had one. I had a demo party at my place last week & was blown away by EVERYTHING! I don't have a mix master or big food processor so I was in the market for something that could do both & WOW, the TM is so functional & compact. I'm excited to learn what I can do w/the TM, share (sorry, not much for now), & get HELP!

BTW, I'm a wife & stay at home mother of a 7 & 5 y.o boy & girl. I had a very long & fulfilling single life & now live a "traditional" home life where I want to create & provide, nutritious & delicious meals for family & friends. We also have a 10 y.o maltipoo (who looks like a puppy).

Happy to be here...

I've only been a TMX owner since November so am still feeling my way but have had a lot of fun with it so far.

I'm sure you will quickly learn the ins and out of this forum and I know for sure you will find the members extremely friendly, helpful and enthusiastic and certainly eager to share recipes and tips. A lovely bunch.

Post by: lws11 on April 06, 2010, 04:54:13 pm: Thank you for leaving such welcoming messages! O.k., I know there's a learning curve & I WILL get better at this. From the first 3 experiences using this magnificent machine so far...I must have dropped the MC on the floor a dozen times taking off the lid creating my first meal (falafels from a standard recipe, a little ambitious for a newbie I know) and yesterday my TM overflowed when I increased the speed to finish off making cappuccinos (2X). My girlfriend who is my TM mentor, was over & investigated. She discovered that I hadn't put back the rubber ring inside the lid! ARRR! Anyway, 2 things I won't be doing again...Tonite I'm making the tomato soup from the Everyday recipe book. Will report back the results...any suggestions b4 I begi

Post by: ThermomixBlogger on April 06, 2010, 05:49:06 pm: Hi there lws11 !

I'm saying HI! with arms wide open! :-* So very glad to have another Canadian on the forum... and so close to home too! I'm waving at your from Victoria :o Yours is exactly the kind of enthusiasm we need in Canada, to help Thermomix become better known.

I was surprised to read about your mishap with the rubber ring. When I first had my Thermomix, I had a problem because the machine would not start. :( Oh how I panicked! :'( Almost called the distributor but then realized the rubber ring was sitting in the dishrack and not in the lid, where it should be. :-[ You see, my own machine will not even start without the ring in place... which is a good safety feature really. Well, I think we all make a few mistakes and learn pretty quickly!

I'm so very happy to have another Canadian on the forum. According to my calculations, that makes SIX of us now. (At least, six who are not too shy to speak...)

We're all cheering for you, can you hear us?
So don't forget to let us know when you decide to become a consultant... ;)

Catch you later, eh?! ;D
