Title: Hi from Central Victoria
Post by: southpaw on July 18, 2011, 01:09:45 am

Hi Everyone,

I have been stalking this forum for ages, and since I have now owned my Thermomix for just over a week, I figured it was time I joined in!

I have used it every single day, and for me its all about reducing the time spent in the kitchen because I work full time in a high pressure job.  I have made several things off this forum, including BAF65's Award Winning CHicken & Vegies in Varoma.....which by the way was AWESOME! 

I am looking forward to learning more about my new toy, especially what to do with the Varoma

Cheers,
Sharon

Hi Sharon, welcome to the forum.  If you have been stalking us you will have seen all the fabulous recipes we have on here and what a lovely group of people form this special forum.  We now have an All in one meals section where the varoma is the star and as you've done Baf's famous recipe, you are well under way in understanding the role of the varoma. Many (including myself) didn't have the confidence to use it for ages but H.O. now have a specific varoma demo available and the new section was born from people's desire to use their varoma more.  If you can find the time to do so, let us know your thoughts on any of the recipes you do - reviews are a great help to the rest of us and are often the reason we try new recipes. We have a review section for recipes from any of the books but reviews of recipes from the forum are just added to the recipe page itself.

Hi Sharon

Welcome to the forum - loads of things to try here - from playdough and household cleaners to deserts, dips and just everything and anything else in between - there's also plenty of help if you ever get stuck for ideas or with recipes. 

Whereabouts do you live?

Hi Sharon, was over your way today babysitting at Ballarat. We live in the Macedon Ranges.  This Forum is a great way to get the most out of your TMX.  Let us know how you are going.
