Title: NEW OWNER
Post by: SHARYN on May 18, 2011, 04:15:03 am
I only received my TMX last Thursday and I've been playing ever since!! this is a person that hates (used too) the kitchen and trying to work out what to have for tea . I had a call from my 9 year old son yesterday to see what time I'de be home from work, when I asked why Tom said he was waiting for some of my delicious food !!!! We make an elephant juice called skinny gecko every night each. I have 3 boys aged 9,13 & 16 and a husband enjoying everything I make ,not realising all the little extra healthy things going in!! Bran ,chia seeds spiralina ect. My husband was so anti TMX and I went ahead and got it anyway, all I get from him now is phrase on how good it is. Well worth the purchase.

Welcome Sharyn from another Sharyn!!! I have only had my tmx for a month or so and have been enjoying it - infact too much as I am putting on weight! I have found this site invaluable and so friendly - I am sure you will as well.  Sharyn

Hi both Sharyns and welcome to the forum.  I think we all put on weight intially when we first got our TMXs (maybe we should call it TMX waistline or TMX syndrome, perhaps).  After a while you learn to behave yourself, but what a brilliant journey it is until then.  Afterwards, when you settle down life is simply a ball.  So many of us were not 'into' cooking pre-TMX days but that little machine has transformed our lives - as it will yours.

Enjoy and have fun.

i'm having an absolute ball, I've got my 9 year old picking out recipes for me to cook the following night for tea, its just amazing. the pantry has never been so organised as well. i live in a remote area in WA but work at a food distributer so anything I cant get at the shops I get through work. actually quite a lot is purchased from work, which is handy.

Hi Sharyn, welcome to the forum.  Glad to hear you are all having so much fun - your children sound most appreciative of your efforts and I'm sure they will be wanting to have a go themselves.

Hi KarenW, welcome to the forum.  Our TMX's love being used every day - or several times a day even ;)

. So being a gadget queen I'm going to have to clear my cupboards.

Me too! The first to go is the Kenwood food processor and blender, no use for that anymore.  I have always lacked cupboard space but I can see I am going to have lots when I sell all my kitchen gadgets  ;D

I finally gave my food processor away the other week (to my SIL) - she has used it to make soup and save herself the trouble of hand chopping so is very pleased with it.  Nice to see someone get some use out of it, I think I only used to use it to make breadcrumbs and once made a cheesecake in it  :-)) :-))

Welcome to the forum Sharyn.  I'm not sure I even discussed it with my dh before I bought it.  I KNEW that he would implode at the price so I just ordered it ....  :o

He found out the price a few weeks later by searching online.  We didn't have a row - it was far worse than that.  I got the "really disappointed in you" speech  :(  I felt about 2 inches high.  Then I made him a curry and we've never looked back.  He's really getting to like it now and actually wants me to show him how to use it :)

He can see how much I use it and how much the children love what it produces.
