She is so excited too!
She lived with me for a few months and used mine all the time, she told me “I wanted to make things like the potato and leek soup, but by the time I had mucked around with saucepans and cooling it and blenders and reheating, it took about 2-3 hours then there was all that washing up! I just kept thinking of the 20 minutes it would have taken with the Thermomix - consequently I've been having allot of cheese on toast for dinner...”
Just goes to show – singles, pensioners, elderly – TM is great for everyone!
:P

That is the most wonderful news Kyliejade. If my Mum was still around she would have bought one 24 hours after she saw mine. She loved cooking but then being by herself she lost the enjoyment of this. She would have loved it. One of the very sad things I feel with my TMX is that I can't show it to and share it with my Mum.
-
That's great Kylie hope she enjoys it. Thanks for booking me in for the course.
-
:) I had a varoma demo last Thursday for mine, ( thanks to Quirky Jo ), mainly so mum could see how easy it is.
now she has started to use her thermomix heaps too.
Age is no barrier, it just takes a bit of time, and help.

I can really understand your feelings Cookie. I am sure your Mum would have loved it too. I would love to share the joy of thermomixing with my Mum, but she isn't in a position to afford one. My hubby and I are gradually saving up to buy her one (as a surprise). Maybe next Christmas. :)

That's lovely Chelsea, hope she doesn't read the forum :D :D

Fabulous KylieJade. Now to get her on the forum... ;D

Yes Cookie1 I feel the same way. That is one of my two regrets regarding the thermie. The other is that I didn't have it when the 3 DTs were small. Woulda saved so much time and effort. But I have it now and I have told the family there would be major drama if anyone breaks it or tries to take it.
-
I wish my mum would buy one, but she says she doesn't need one and only needs to cook for 2! She went out and bought this food processor that probably cost $600 and just chops :-)) but thats what she feels more comfortable with I suppose...
-
Good for her!!!
-
That is so great for your mum, Kylie!!! :) :)
-
Chelsea you are a darling. :-*
-
I am already so excited. She will be very crabby with me spending so much money on her. I might even need to give her mine and tell her I have "updated". I would love to give her a shiny new one though. ;D
-
I have the opposite problem in that I tend to get the gadget and my children think them an unecessary luxury. I had the first computer out in the 80's and they did eventually follow me with that. Perhaps they will go for the Thermomix eventually too.
-
When I got mine my SIL asked how much it was and when I told her she said,'That's a lot of food' I replied with 'yes it is and yet some people spend more than that on a coffee machine' (she did ;D ;D)
Well me regularly supplying them with my lemon butter and her tasting my sticky date pudding she had a TMX 12 months after I bought mine. ;D
My Mum would probably get one if she was alone but with my Dad being a retired and very fussy chef she's just going to cook the same ol same ol. For her, having to cook for a fuss pot is a total chore and there is no way she'd want to EVER be in the kitchen if she had a choice. :-\
Chelsea that's an awesome thing to do or your Mum.
-
You are a champion Chelsea - I would <3 to be able to have a thermo heart to heart with my mum - just to have my mum :'( would be the best!
-
You are so right Robyn. :-* :-*
-
Yes, cherish them if you still have them. My Mum turns 89 this year so I am very lucky.
-
That's wonderful Judy. One of my very best friends is 89. She was my neighbour before we shifted. I love her dearly.
-
Your lucky mum Chelsea! I don't think my mum would have bought one except that she lived with me for a few months and realised that life is so much easier with it... Even if you are only cooking for 1 or 2 - you still have to eat every day...
We are blessed by our mums aren't we? Whether they are here or not - such a big influence on our lives... Mine sometimes drives me spare (esp. when we lived together!) but she is like my best friend... my heart goes out to my friends who have lost theirs – I have 2 who both lost their mum’s to cancer when they were only in their 40’s (the mums)– so they have had to do all of it – kids etc without that beautiful influence over their shoulders... I know they look wistfully at my mother and me sometimes, I wish I could share her! All I can do is be a loving and appreciative daughter... I try! I am giving her a massage tomorrow and taking her to see Harry Potter gold class next week (she is a big time HP fan!)...
Blessings to all your mums – especially those that are not here xxx

Kyliejade how kind and thoughtful of you. I'm sure it's obvious I miss my Mum a lot but she could also drive me crazy at times as I probably did her. Fortunately DD and I have a great relationship.

My mother is 85 and has a TM here in South Africa and another in her home in England. I am lucky enough to have earned another one so I am "lending" one machine to my two daughters who share a flat in Cape Town - they are very excited. My husband hates cooking but when I am in Cape Town during the week he has to cook for himself and prefers to use the TM rather than the stove. Weekends in the country are a great stress reliever for me. I hope our sales grow faster than they did in Australia.
