Title: Hi there!
Post by: Hannah on April 21, 2009, 04:38:11 am
It seemed like a good idea to join the forum but in between working and cooking there really isn't much time left for typing!!! I work in a school in Adelaide, South Australia and now that it's school holidays and there are no kids around, its a good time to introduce myself. Should I be working? ... probably! But in holiday time with no teachers and students around you can do in a day what otherwise takes you a week.

I have had my thermomix for nearly a year now and despite using it 2-3 times a day, there are still a million things I haven't even tried yet. Having a daughter-in-law (Anna) and a workmate (Sam) who also have them, I have noticed that we all have different basic uses. For example, Anna hasn't bought a loaf of bread since she bought hers, Sam is a lover of the mashed potato and I make a lot of fruit smoothies. I enthused to my friend Martyn who lives in the Cotswolds in England about my thermomix and he also bought one. I think he is most satisfied by his homemade butter - luckily he has a good local dairy where he can source his cream.

I am hoping to be enthused to try new foods now I've joined the forum. Also to learn a new language - perhaps italian so I can translate the recipes myself. Already I have been inspired to make "brioche" - something I had never tasted before and they were so good!! Now I just need to buy some brioche tins ... And get back to work!  :)

Hi Hannah and welcome :) One side effect of me owning a TM is that I am learning Spanish as I translate recipes!

I've only had mine for a little while so I haven't settled into a basic use yet... a little of everything :)

Hi and welcome Hannah from Adelaide - nice to see our numbers growing here in S.A. You are right, you can't work, cook and browse this site as much as you would like to but holiday time will be perfect for you to put some time into it. To get the best use from the TMX, you really have to plan your meals ahead, something I will have to do now we are back from holiday.  Just can't get into it yet.
