Gosh Maddy, you really are giving JulieO a bit of competition in the recipe/photo stakes. 

  Julie photo's and recipes have been my inspiration for ages on "taste".  Her food always looks beautiful.....and I can honestly say that if you are taking a photo of it, you don't tend to plonk it on the plate as I  normally would do 

How long did it take to make the batch?

Shame the TM couldn't roll the dough  into little balls as well! 
Probably took a good 30 minutes shaping them, but I figure the whole process of mixing and kneadining in 1 minute....justifies the rolling time 

I haven't made the potato ones yet, but I was more than  happy with the texture of the ricotta ones.

Name of Recipe: Vegetable soup with bacon & pasta
Number of People: 4
Ingredients:

1 onion
1 clove garlic
20g olive oil
4tsp vegetta gourmet vegetable stock (I had run out of TM stock)...or 2 Tbsb. TM veg. stock Concentrate
4 cups boiling water
500g chopped vegetables (I use a mix of carrot, celery, mushroom, zucchini)...but use what you like.
60-100g  chopped bacon
1 small tub leggos pizza sauce (garlic, onion, herb - 140g)
80g small spiral pasta
cracked black pepper

Preparation:

Place the chopped veggies into jug, and chop 5 secs - speed 4. Set aside
* I like to chop the carrots a little first, before adding the rest of the veg.*

Place in quartered onion and garlic clove, chop 5 secs - speed 5.

Add oil and bacon to onion mix, and cook 5 mins - 100c - reverse speed 1, MC off.

Mix vegetta stock with boiling water, then add into jug. Add the veggies, pizza sauce, black pepper, and pasta.
Cook 20 mins - 100c - reverse speed 1.

Once cooked, mix in some freshly grated parmesan, and serve with some chopped herbs on top if you wish

members' comments Everyone loves this recipe.

Shazzy - I added risoni instead of pasta spirals & tomato paste and some mixed herbs instead of the pizza paste.

ahoney - Made this with 220g tomato paste, 1 tsp mixed Italian herbs, corn and 2 veg stock cubes (massel).

JD - I added some of Tenina's flavour boosters - caramelized garlic paste and a cube of umami paste.

Dizzygirl - Added some curry powder for kick. 

Kazza14 -  I too added my own pizza sauce (Thermomix of course) and I also added an extra rasher of bacon which I had chopped and quickly crisped up in the microwave. I also added Risoni instead of pasta shells and added a leek with the veggies.

foodgroupie - Followed the recipe to a T except for adding another 60 grams of bacon.

knittercook - I used carrots, cabbage and frozen corn as that is all I had and macaroni pasta, 1 tbs of vegetable stock, 2 rashers of bacon.

MangoJam -  left out the pasta.  We just love it with parmesan cheese liberally applied!!

 

I love this apple tea cake.
I just increased the vanilla essence to 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

I have a collection of Sunbeam mixers, all models from the first to the late '50s(Model 12), including the "toy" Sunbeam Mixmaster. 
The toy is by far the most desirable collectible and they sell for incredible amounts when they show up on ebay. 
There's a photo of the toy, along with the "mama" on this page:

I have a pink, jadeite green and white sunbeam mixers from the 50's.  I agree with you, I love their classic design.  I chose to stop adding to the collection....only because of the  lack of space to display them! 
I can see why it's so addictive to collect them.

i would love to be a fly on the wall when the thermoserver arrives at the purchasers house and they go 'f*** i just spent $200 on a bowl!"  and then have to break the news to their husband!!

I'm sure the hubby would say....." $200 for a f'n bowl?, are you nuts! "

Have you seen the thermoserver on ebay at the moment? Bidding is up to $167.xx atm!!! 

Can you believe it actually has sold for.....wait for it........$212.50! 

What a lovely disguise Maddy, I'll bet it tasted nice.

I think so cookie....ask the kids.....they were the ones that ate it all  LOL
