Hi all,
I really want a thermomix but need some ammo to convince DH with. Looking at having to save for a while to afford it, but I'm willing

1. How long have you had your TMX?
2. How often do you use it?
3. What did you make with it in the last 48 hours?
4. What's your favorite three things to make with it?

Thanks
I had to convince DH as well. We have not looked back and DH is completely won over.

1. I've only had it three weeks
2. I've used it every day, bar one day when I'd had about three hours sleep and we went to the ILs for the afternoon and dinner as I was exhausted. I generally use it at least twice, if not three or four times a day.
3. In the last 48hrs... Working backwards... Bolognaise sauce, ganache, chocolate cake, bread rolls, Thai green curry, cinnamon scrolls, a load of bread, poached eggs for the whole family.
4. Favourite three things: one of them is fast becoming bread - it is so easy to throw the ingredients in, let it knead, stick it in the oven, bam, fresh bread. We haven't bought bread in two weeks. CADA - it's my breakfast "go to", coconut, almonds, dates and an apple (hence CADA) - throw it all in, blitz it on turbo for literally three seconds (three pushes of the turbo button), chuck it in a bowl with some yoghurt, yum yum. Eggs - I love poached eggs but have never been able to do them nicely, TMX does them perfectly.

What convinced my DH was the savings I predicted. He didn't think I'd do it but we are cooking almost everything from scratch these days. The green curry I did last night was deeeelish. It is one of DH's favourite dishes, we always order it from Thai restaurants and he has never been able to make it from scratch. Well, now I have and DH has declared it to be the best green curry he's ever had. And so cheap to make. Herbs, spices, chuck em in, whirl em round, add the chicken, cook it up, all done.

Today I had a shift on a phone helpline that I do from home and in between calls I was able to make a chocolate cake with ganache topping (and I usually always stuff up the ganache!) then get a bolognaise sauce cooking (from scratch - not a dolmio jar in site!) and walk away to take calls, knowing that dinner was cooking and wasn't going to burn because I wasn't there to stir it.

It frees me up to do more important things.

That, in my mind, is winning and makes it all worthwhile.
