Hmmm.... Think I'm thought of as a bit of a weirdo always bringing in something to work made in my "mixything" (that's what they call it).... feel more like the geek than I ever did at school. Their loss though  ;) :D

The "nearly" 4yo told his pre prep teacher today that we had a machine called a mixerfermo... :D

Miss 3 often refers to it as a "Demomix" - well I'm always off doing demos for the thermomix - just easier to combine the two....

???
We'll keep that one quiet thanks Spanner  ;)  :-X

At least I'm not the only one at work with one now - Maggie's my tmx buddy  ;) ;D

But she's on "other" side of the road while I'm on "this" side - they don't let us mingle too often  ;)  just kidding

Mmmmm. Mixamotosis. I wonder if I could make that in my TMX. :P :P :P It's much better than  Calicivirus ( ;) TMXer's been here )
Actually Mixamotosis isn't a bad name for a TMX.
Are you a country boy Spanner?

Nah .... Im a wanna be farmer. I am into permiculture and alternative "things" working in the mainstream suburban grind.

My freinds all call me farmer Dave as I have on a 600 sq/m property  (which is actually a duplex so Half that again) hydroponics, a hugly productive veg plot (very small in size but good production), chooks for laying and eating, fruit trees etc etc etc.

I would dearly love to be "out in the bush" but unfortunatly life style choices are not multi faceted like some personalities can be..... I work in Mental Health.

Hey Spanner, know where you are coming from about being a wanna be farmer....everyone tells me that we should be living on acreage.  We have a third of an acre but most of it is taken up with house, swimming pool and a half court tennis court (all put in by previous owner).  I have a little patch of grass that I am currently turning into raised vegetable gardens with a chicken tractor sitting on top which houses one very very doted on and spoilt pullet.  I have a cubby house that has been turned into a chicken coop for four other not quite so doted on chickens.  We also have a cat, three dogs, three cockatiels and a multitude of budgerigars.

I am currently running two nft hydroponic systems and three flood and drain systems plus a couple of bucket systems.  Unfortunately they are all quite neglected at the moment as I have been too busy with work to do very much but will have to get my act into gear before spring.

I got my thermomix just on a week ago and am loving it.  It is giving me inspiration to get back into the garden and get things planted so that I have fresh produce to use in it.  My basil plants and other herbs are looking very denuded after all the plucking and cutting that they have gotten this week.  I even planted four tomato plants because I was so dissatisfied with the bought tomatoes that I used in my tomato sauce a couple of nights ago.  I am finally not giving away most of our eggs because we are constantly making custards and various baked goods.

You will NOT regret this purchase!!!

Take care
Stacey

Spanner  you sure fit a lot onto your land area, well done. I'm envious. Thanks TMXer for fixing my spelling, I was too lazy to go and find a book to check it.
Do you find your occupation interesting Spanner? You would never be short of customers, that's for sure. DD is a pharmacist and has just returned to Mental health, she quite enjoys it, but she isn't really at the 'coal face'.  More standing back and advising.
Keep the funnies coming Spanner.

Nothing wrong with us suburban farmers... we have chooks in a tractor and an ever expanding garden patch. :)

Surprises people regularly who visit.  Younger boys are often shocked that people have play equipment in their yards... since we have a very nice park about 250m from home.  :P

Wonder if the TMX will affect my "Earth Mother" title?  :-))

I'll attempt to tell you what I have growing on my very VERY small house block and why I am very keen to get the TMX.

What is growing in my garden as of today for edible purposes:

1.   ginger
2.   egg plant
3.   lemon grass
4.   three types of bananas
5.   chillies
6.   2 types of basil
7.   mandarin
8.   2 types of lemon
9.   lemonade tree
10.   parsley
11.   silver beet
12.   coriander
13.   tomatoes
14.   potatoes
15.   spring onions
16.   corn (F-1 hybrid)
17.   comfrey
18.   longan
19.   jaboticaba
20.   custard apple
21.   sugar cane
22.   garlic chives
23.   boc choy
24.   pak choy
25.   Vap Ca
26.   Hibiscus spinach
27.   carrot
28.   miracle fruit
29.   mint
30.   Vietnamese mint
31.   Kang Kong
32.   Beetroot
33.   Peas
34.   Guatemalan spinach
35.   sweet potato
36.   passion fruit
37.   rose water Apple
38.   7 yr beans
39.   carambola
40.   guava
41.   4 – 5 indigenous bush foods I can not remember the name of such as wombat berry
42.   Chooks for eggs
43.    Chooks to eat - Meat

I do this on a very VERY small block of land ( less than 600 sm including the house itself) in suburbia through the wise use of land including the nature strip and the use of Hydroponics.

Slightly off topic I know but with all this fresh food available to me I want to use it to its best potential.
