Welcome to the forum Bree - your plans sound fun  ;)  By the time you have a family, you will be a very experienced TMX user and the kids will benefit from it immensely.

Hi Bree - welcome to the forum -  I think you'll find you need little else other than the TMX and the forum to keep you going for quite a while!! :)

Thanks ladies, I am busy trying to find Gluten free pasta and keep finding others that I think might end up being first.... and supposed to be sugar free too.

So excited.  :)

I will do for sure just going to change the original flour for starters and see what its like, its hard for us to get gluten free stuff out here, they did get flour just not pasta and getting to Perth or Kalgoorlie makes it hard.

Cookie1 I am based in Leinster, goldfields of WA, closer to the desert than any major towns/cities, hence I really need to get to finding stuff to work for us, but the tomatoes and beetroot are planted, garlic on its way so its a start, I just need to plant my strawberries somewhere. Cant wait to make my own tomatoe sauce instead of raiding mums.

I know Leinster Bree. You sure are way out. Your TMX will be a blessing. Is the heat ok with your vegies or do you use shade cloth for them?

It could be but its fairly cool so far, the only heat we had was over christmas, atm its 30ish and thunderstorms/rain and humid so its not too bad and they get shade. Hubby has just done a sprinkler up on the retic till he can do something more permanent. Water is the key thing I think. Its taken almost 5 years and 1 bub to get this far, glad it has, now number 2.

Has anyone tried a vege pasta yet, wondering what it would be like.

Hi Bree  :D glad you are on here. Try quirky cooking for gluten free pasta. I am sure she blogged a buckwheat pasta recently. Also check out 2brothersfoods.com.au. They deliver anywhere in WA up to I think 14kg for a flat rate of postage 4.95 I think it is!!!

If you find/develop a good gluten free pasta dough, please let us know. I haven't been brave enough to try one yet in the TM as I find I just rely on the commercial brands available. Casalare pasta do a particularly good gluten free pasta range and they also have an online shop- they also do flour mixes etc. Otherwise, the gluten free range from San Remo isnt bad either, especially their spiral pasta which my non Coeliac children gobble up and I find tastes very similar to what I have been used to in the past. I categorically refuse to cook separate meals for myself and the rest of the family, so when it comes to pasta dishes, they eat my pasta or else!!

Thanks I will, but was hoping for lazy mans option so I might do my order with 2 brothers and get some buckwheat flour to try amongst others.
