Thanks Chookie for taking the time out to answer my question on what sounds like a wonderful holiday!  I tried Isis Portuguese rolls again for lunch and had a big success this time - yay! Trying now one of the bread recipes that my consultant (thanks Meagan!) sent me. Hope the rest of your holiday is fantastic.

Welcome Sharyn from another Sharyn!!! I have only had my tmx for a month or so and have been enjoying it - infact too much as I am putting on weight! I have found this site invaluable and so friendly - I am sure you will as well.  Sharyn

Thankyou everyone for your responses. Well this arvo I tried JulieO's cobb loaf and it worked!!! My only issue was that I put a too small bowl on the bread for the second rise so when I came home from picking up my son from school it had gone everywhere.  So YAY - bread and chocolate brownie milk for afternoon tea.  I am hearing the mmmmms from my boys as type!

Thanks JD and CP for your responses. Yes have tried these things but maybe I need to try some different recipes to see if that makes a difference. I have been using the basic one in EDC and the 5 seed loaf.  Will try the one that you suggested CP and see how I go and will, like you say, just have to keep cooking and do some more research!!  Is heartening to hear that you have both had successes and to be honest the kids are still enjoying the bread so they havent been too much of a failure!

Thanks Judy I will give the goulash soup a go.  Yes tried the butter chicken and it was nice but as I said this is the first one he said he really liked and that I should make it again!

THANKYOU Judy!! I have had my TMX now for probably 3 and a bit weeks and this soup is the first time my husband has genuinely said he has liked anything I have made it. Normally he is always very complementary of my cooking so I have been becoming very discouraged. My eldest son also commented that it was yummy. So thankyou!

Bread / Bread Advice Please
« on: May 14, 2011, 09:56:31 am »
I would really appreciate any advice please.  I have made a few loaves now and while they come out of the oven lovely and crusty within 5 or 10 mins the crust has become quite soft - is this normal or am I doing something wrong (I have never made bread prior to the tmx!). I have also, in the last few loaves, begun to add bread improver - is it ok to put this into all types of loaves? My last question - I have through reading a few forums noticed that after the first rise when shaping the loaf it seems that the dough is folded over and under if that makes sense - should I be doing this instead of just shaping the loaf.  Sorry for all the questions but as I said I have never made bread before!

Recipe Requests / Tomato Sauce/Ketchup
« on: May 11, 2011, 05:26:16 am »
Well we have finally run out of store brought tomato sauce and I thought I would try to make my own.  I was going to make the one in EDC but have realised that I don't have any plums. I have also had a look through the forum but am a bit confused. Is someone able to point me please to a good recipe?  Thanks for you help in advance!

I used blade steak in probably 1 cm pieces and the meat hadnt disintegrated at all. Interesting how things can turn out differently!! Thanks again it was a lovely meal.

I made this tonight and it was lovely.  I was worried as this was my first red meat meal and I had heard that the themomix did not do meat well. Fortunately it was not the case with this dish and it was lovely.  I did find that I cooked it a little longer as the meat was still a little tough but became alot more tender with the extra cooking.  Thanks for a lovely dish.
