Howdy
Do you ever have those times when you don’t try anything fancy, you just want to stick with the tried, tested and tasted recipes? That is where I am at this weekend. We had Chicken and Cashews from the EDC tonight.
I found myself in an interesting conversation with someone yesterday about the Thermomix. You know those people……..the ones that think you are out of your mind because you have a TMX. Here are the common things THOSE people say:
- It’s such a waste of money……..Not to me, Thanks very much! The TMX allows me to save money in the long run, and provide my family with healthy, preservative free foods
- You can use other appliances to do those jobs………Now I just use my TMX and have freed up so much space in my cupboard. Now I use the extra space to store all the fabulous ingredients that I use, and the yummy treats that I make.
- You can’t cook meats……….Umm yes I can! And I can do it cleaner, healthier and faster than you can!
- It’s so big……..I (along with most TMX owners) use it multiple times a day, so it lives on my bench
- Thats not cooking, you are cheating…….Are you serious? I am cooking more now, than I ever did before. I still have to follow processes, but most of them don’t take as long as they do for you.
- It’s just a fad…..Errrr….Do you know anything about this product? This design has been around for 40 years – and many of those machines are still working today.
I think one of the most interesting parts of these discussions is that it generally comes from someone who hasn’t even been to a demo. What is with that??
I think I am just an average person. I don’t have heaps of cash to spend on silly things, in fact we run a tight ship here. But once I saw this product work, I could see how it could help us as a family. I like to be able to get up on a sunday and make my own butter, so I can then use it to make my own lemon butter, to put on my home-made waffles. Then for morning tea, I will use the Butter milk from the butter, to make some scones or some muffins for anyone who may choose to drop by the house. Then I might whip up some bacon and cheese scrolls for the kids for lunch, so the kids have enough energy to play with their Thermomix Play-dough. Then in the afternoon, my darling husband will use the TMX to make all the components for his fabbo lasagna for dinner. Then at the end of the day, when I am in bed, I will reflect on the day, knowing that I am sooooo happy that we decided to take the plunge and make this investment for our family.
All Fresh, Great Variety, No Preservatives, No Waste and definately…….NO REGRETS!
I wonder if those “other” people can say the same?
