I've been having an affair with a Thermomix

My apologies for being a bit absent lately, I've been having an affair with a Thermomix.


This is Thelma!


It's FINALLY mine!

I bit the bullet and bought a Thermomix. After spending the majority of last year lusting over one, and then spending the beginning of this year questioning if I really wanted one, I did it. And I love her.

I had seen it in action late last year and I was impressed, but I didn't realise just how much of a godsend it was until it was mine. Until it was in MY kitchen, cooking MY dinners for MY family. It's been a week since 'she' arrived and she has brought that little spark back in my kitchen.

Since returning to work earlier this year, I have really struggled finding that balance and keeping ontop of the things I do at home. Add a little back issue where I've been pretty useless... well it's just been a bit of a rough few months! Thelma (yes, that's her name) allows me to cook really healthy meals for the family, without standing over the stove. It's bliss! AND the best thing? I am now cooking a hell of a lot more, having fun doing it (less dishes = awesome!), and STILL having that time to spend with the kids.

And at the end of the day, if there's an appliance that gives me more time with them, I want it.
