Thermomix Lovers United #2

Yeah would still work but probably wouldn't keep you as full for as long as the original one does?

OMG I want one!!!

I'd never heard of them until last year (just after i bought a Breville mixer thingy ), now i'm wondering if i should sell my Breville and invest in one of these!?

My cousin is loaning me hers while she goes OS for three weeks and i'm so excited about what i can do in that time. Dinners and the motivation to make them are zero for me at the moment but i'm a bit excited with my new (temporary) toy.

Last night i made the Apricot Chiken (rissotto style) and it was yummm.

Going to go sit and have a cuppa and figure out tonights dinner now

Any tips ladies?

Start freezing fruit for fruity dream. It rocks.

Rocky dream is the best. I make with ground chia instead of eggwhite and it tastes great.

Chocolate custard is another favourite. That never last in out house. DH doesnt like custard so I dont know where it goes. The gremlins, presumably.

I just bought a whole lot of fruit & vegies. I want to start making green smoothies, so I'll freeze some avacado & banana overnight. I have spinach and kale & I'll throw in some berries, an egg and whatever else. Lets hope it tastes good. I'm also going to stew some fruit - rhubarb, berries, plums. Maybe a bit of lemon. I did it with a whole mandarin once and it was surprisingly yummy.

Tonight I plan on making an all in one meal. Steamed salmon, green beans and mashed sweet potato. Better go. TMX is calling

Well the Thermomix demo I was supposed to be going to tomorrow night has been cancelled. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something, that is the 3rd I have missed out on now LOL. Another friend has one booked for the 22nd so hopefully that one sticks.

Lol astro, bummer! Don't eat too much before you go because you get about 6 courses to sample.

We make brekky smoothies too, skim milk, banana, blueberries, linseed (flaxseed), magnesium and vital greens powder.

I made the hot chocolate last night and it was very dark and strong! Next time I think I will try 30g of cocoa instead. I added 1 heaped teaspoon of cornflour and it was a great texture. I can highly recommend you try it.

I also made a chicken and vegetable pie last night - made the filling in the thermie, but the chicken was kinda pulverised by the end of the cooking. Next time I think I will steam the chicken and make a white sauce in the base.
