Thermomix

Yes, we bought one and it arrived last week already!
We have made some lovely recipes already, meals in it every evening, yummy breakfast smoothies, porridge, cake, jam, butter, cappacinos, strong! irish coffee, hot chocolates, boiled eggs, foccacia bread, garlic butter, whipped cream and the list goes on... 
We also experimented ..if we steam really fresh eggs, they peel sooo much easier!!

To sum it up:  We love it...it suits OUR family situation to the brim!  We are looking forward to a more healthier diet from now on!!  The kids know that we will no longer get takeaway twice or three times a week, and they aren't too disappointed...they like getting to taste lots of different things, and take interesting sandwich toppings to school (more on that tomorrow). and I, well, lets just say, minimal preparations, and the fact that it cleans itself and so easy is just the tip of the iceberg.  Chatterbox....well...i think about the whole world knows now that we have a 'mysterious machine' in the kitchen which means that we are no longer allowed to go to the golden arches, the local DOME, the subway, the local Fish and Chips shop.  Dear hubby loves it, lets just say, he said yes, before I had made up my mind ;)
