Theo's Story

After much deliberating, (mainly as to whether I will have time to service it) I have made the decision to start this blog. I am a wife, a mum, a Thermomix consultant and a part time high school teacher and this is Theo's story...

Theo came to live with us last year. Theo is a Thermomix and has fitted into the family as if he'd been here for years. If only he had!! Since we've had Theo, we've baked, mixed, juiced, steamed, whisked, crushed, grated and cooked ourselves into a frenzy, creating healthy, wholesome food from scratch using fresh ingredients. 

Oh, and when I say 'we' I do actually mean 'we'. Theo arrived at around 6:30 one Saturday evening. We knew what time he was coming and hubby had decided the first thing we would 'cook' would be frozen pina coladas...what else!! After enjoying the deliciously cooling coconutty, pineapply, Malibu-ey goodness, we set about looking for something else to cook. The following morning, after perusing the Every Day Cookbook, hubby announced (or rather asked...as if he had to) if he could cook Beef Stroganoff for dinner...with mashed potato. My only task was to source the ingredients. In the space of a few hours, my role had shifted from sole cook, to hunter gatherer, I loved Theo already! Hubby eagerly set about weighing and adding ingredients and pressing buttons. The meal was delicious, he had fun and I had half an hour to myself! I loved Theo even more!

My hope is for this to become a place to document our experiences with Theo, food, and all things Thermomix but right now I must go to bed. 

There! I've started! Perhaps I'll post again tomorrow, perhaps something else will come up, but I'll be back again soon-ish.
