Kezza works for Myer and she asked if they would contribute to the goodie bag.
They were very generous and gave us a perfume vile, lippy and lancome moisturiser.

Odd that Myer has no concern with thermomix and was so generous...HO?????

Well I would say  by not acknowledging  our little retreat  how little we are valued. All the good work we all do by promoting the Thermothingy is worth nothing. . We are worth nothing to them even though we share with everyone our knowledge our recipes our  enthusiasm not to mention how we encourage those people who are unsure to give it a go.   

While  they continue to  harass, harangue and threaten consultants and others WE are here being positive, looking forward and spreading the good things about the Thermothingy.

Just think how much goodwill we spread all over the Margaret River.  People who have never heard  of the Thermothingy are googling  as we speak.  We told hundreds about our forum and it was all good.  We were great ambassadors. Good  grief if we had thought to bring a few machines I have no doubt we could  have flogged them.

If the negative  attitude continues  it discourages anyone from wanting to have anything to do with the company. Perhaps we should be sending the message to Vorwerk in Germany that we are not happy with the  lack of support  from the local distributor. Instead  of complaining  amongst ourselves maybe  we should let them know how much WE all care especially about their reputation as an ethical entity.

Personally I am sick of the them and us. It is ludicrous.  It is as if this forum does not exist with the consultants forbidden even to mention us. A great resource for all  and not utilised to everyone's advantage.  What is the point?

Now I have to knock on Helene's door. There  is another great ambassador for the Super Kitchen Machine AKA/Thermothingy

I can't tell you how much I LOVE IT! Chookie has been very kind and has given me a few lessons, and I had an iPhone before so I have a little background knowledge. I'm going to go crazy with posting pics as that was one thing about using my camera or mobile phone to upload that started to get a bit time consuming for me. I am sure there must be some way to reduce the size of the pic as when viewed back in my PC it is a very big pic that needs to be scrolled up and down, and across yet on iPad shows up in tapatalk as being small and well sized. I've bought some apps, a couple of books and magazines and have my incoming emails linked up and will try and link up outgoing emails within next day or so (different server). I bought a little stand so that it can be propped up in the kitchen for reading recipes. Happy days  :D Am going to buy a cover ... any suggestions which one is the best?

A cover that protects the edges and thin and light enough to carry in your handbag. One that you can easily use when taking a photo. I have had five. The one I use most is the STM from JB HI FI and other places. Leather is good for a man but too heavy for us and our handbags.

It certainly is Michele. I 'think' I have persuaded DH to come up one day and have a walk. I'll let you know if I can be brave and walk on the see through thing.

Thanks EmeraldSue for posting a picture of my mustard.  I am not sure if I have previously posted recipe, but I will have a look, and if not I'll put it in.

Here is a picture of Kezza's mustard
Can't wait to try it


My marshmallow fondant flowers will last for ages- probably 6 months or so. It is best to store them in a covered container that is not airtight or they may soften. Sorry I can't be more precise :)

Saving the mustard for a great sausage I bought in MR, and as for the fondant flowers, they have been stored for a special occasion cake…you never know when they will show up on the blog kids!

LOVED everything in the bag…did I say this already?? It was like Christmas for grownup foodies! hahaha
