Well done Mab and Katie.
Tomorrow DD is taking me to a private Zoo to see some Pigmy Possums. Belated Mothers Day event. She is raising money for them.
Lots of people coming and going with Quinces and Figs. Many friends either ill or have had nasty accidents.
I’m finding AI is intruding into surprising places.
Cookie, thanks for all your effort with a difficult forum situation .
Mab, I’ve tried to send you a PM but it won’t send. Just a thank you for the lovely gift.

My neighbor has been giving me buckets of organic carrots. She works at a farm where they develop new varieties of veggies. They are not allowed to sell or donate the excess, but staff can take home. I distribute them and make lots of carrot based dishes. I made a cake to send back to the farm and carrot and lentil soup. Also healthy balls of carrot, nuts, dates and dried fruit. She also gave me some red and green chillies and capsicums. I’ve added roasted red capsicum to hummus and roasted 1/2 capsicum filled with cheese mushrooms and egg.

I think the problem is that most Thermomix recipe sites charge members to use them. ( Cookidoo) There is Facebook, but it doesn't function in the same way and doesn’t have the pool of saved information that the Forum has. The only way ahead may be to pay a subscription or recruit more members. More members would register more clicks on the adds and return more income. Of course, we could just let it die. I find the adds a nuisance.

I made Spag Bol and added lots of Swiss Brown Mushrooms and Zucchini.

Going to try Helen Goh’s recipe for Anzacs. Also making another lot of Portuguese Custard Tarts. These are for a local Anzac get together.

Judy, restaurant quality meals. Spoilt guest.
I had 2 large chicken breasts to cook. I cooked one in the Varoma with veggies and pineapple successful, the other, I bought a bottle of pre-made Indian mixture. Awful stuff. Much better to make own mix in TMX.

Dr said RSV essential . Available 17 th May. Have it late May. Also has ordered a blood test prior to Polia injection. Didn’t know about that. My new Dr is a Geriatrician. Young enough to see me through.
I’ve been invited to a fashion show today. Not sure I’ll go, too much on.

Cookie, Probus are organising a trip to Mildura and Swan Hill. Our club has been invited. Somehow I’ve ended up with the job of doing the administration . Yesterday I finally contacted the last person.
Afternoon tea with Probus today.

Cookie, I’ve noticed lately a lot of recipes using Rossini.
More tomato soup for dinner.

Disaster. Fig and pear paste didn’t work. The sugar in the mixture burnt before the mixture reached the right consistency. I’ll stick to making jam with the rest of the figs.

Tomato soup and bread. Home grown tomatoes and TMX chicken stock. I made a small loaf with Laucke sprouted wheat . Bit like wholemeal but nicer.

Katie, that is a very big task. I’ve found that it’s best to delegate what you can.
Gym and odd jobs.
