Title: 24 Hours To Go
Post by: OrgasmicChef on February 11, 2012, 12:43:24 pm: Waiting for my new Thermomix has been the longest week in I can't remember when! I went to a cooking demo last Saturday with my husband and we both thought it would really help in the kitchen. I love to cook and I cook and bake a lot but a Thermomix is almost like a 2nd pair of hands. I work long hours and getting a tasty meal on the table in less time sounds pretty good.

My new TM arrives at 11am tomorrow morning. Yes, on a Sunday, how dedicated is my consultant? I'll have my demo on Saturday morning at 10am. My guests rolled their eyes but still said yes.

I look forward to learning from all of you. I've lurked for a little bit. :) Many of you are very clever indeed.

I'm a yank in Oz and we live in Minyama on the Sunshine Coast.

Post by: Aussie Brenda on February 13, 2012, 10:47:55 am: Hi OC, I bet it was a long day at work today, I couldn't wait for my consultant to go home so I could have my TMX to myself, still love it, its my baby.
Title: Re: 24 Hours To Go
Post by: OrgasmicChef on February 13, 2012, 01:18:27 pm: I'm having the best time with my new Thermomix! The consultant made lemon custard and then left me to it.

I made mango sorbet, then my husband wanted to try it to make oatmeal (seemed like a lot of work to clean it for oatmeal but then he did pay for it), then I made the veggie stock concentrate and then some pumpkin soup. I went out with the girls for dinner last night so hub did his own thing.

Today I made some spelt bread that was really good. I couldn't believe the bread was fully kneaded in 2 minutes. holy cow. The bread was light and airy and I was expecting heavy and dense.

I made a chicken pie for dinner but used the Thermomix to make the gravy for it. I didn't like the gravy with the balsamic vinegar and sugar but at least now I know how to make my own.

I have some questions but I'm so new to the forum that I don't know where to go to ask them. For instance, I read a recipe for sour cream pastry that said process in and there was the closed bowl icon. Does that mean put it on closed bowl and hit the turbo button?

So where would I ask my questions? Thanks so much for making me feel at home.

Post by: Tasty on February 13, 2012, 01:43:58 pm: Welcome OC. Sounds like you're off to a flying start already.

For questions, just scroll down to the bottom of the mian home page, click 'questions' thread and then click on 'start new topic'

As for your question re the sour cream pastry. I think the symbol just means the actual bowl in this recipe. I believe it is Tenina's recipe but the recipe is not clear. You would have to have it in the closed lid position and press turbo to make fine breadcrums as stated. Do it a few times. Hope that helps.

Post by: OrgasmicChef on February 13, 2012, 02:11:24 pm: yes that was the recipe but I think I'm too new with Thermomix to try it :)

Thanks heaps for the help, Tasty!

Post by: dede on February 13, 2012, 08:06:52 pm: Well done Orgasmic. You have done a great job for you first two days. The more recipes you try the more confident you will get, and will be happy to give most recipes a try. The closed lid position is either to use turbo or when kneading doughs.

Post by: OrgasmicChef on February 14, 2012, 01:14:12 am: Thanks!

Today my goal is to make satay chicken starting off with raw peanuts. Wish me luck :)

I think what I love best about it is that I can make my own ingredients like peanut butter and mayonnaise and flours and know exactly what's in it. Taste of quality ingredients and knowledge of what's in it is more important to me than speed. (although speed is pretty good!)
