Title: Hello from Vancouver, Canada
Post by: vanillabean on May 30, 2011, 04:46:17 pm

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here and finally decided to take the plunge and join up with this forum. Hello!

I've had my TMX for 3 weeks and am thrilled with everything it can do. I now have to sell most of my other kitchen appliances to make room for it as my countertops resemble the local kitchenware store and not in a good way.  :D

Today I'm having a TMX-palooza: making the Almond Cake from Santiago, Portuguese Cream Tarts,  Buckwheat/Spelt Bread, Moroccan Aubergine Salad (we call it eggplant), Seafood Stew with Coconut Milk and probably a smoothie of some sort to round it out. Wind me up and let me go!  :o

Hi Vanillabean (love your name)

Welcome to the forum.  I am way south of you in soCalif., and have had my TMX since November '09 and got it from a vendor in B.C.

It sounds like you are beginning with an ambitious cooking plan.

Thank you so much for your warm welcome!

In case some of you think I'm a complete kook with my ambitious cooking plan, Monday is my one day off, so I try to set aside time to try new recipes and get stuff done around the house. Plus the weather isn't the greatest so it just felt like a TMX day to me.

Had huge trouble cooking rice though, my only disappointment so far. Will post elsewhere for answers.
