thermie goodness...

My lovely friend over at little adelaide kate lent me her oh-so-amazing thermomix last weekend while she escaped for a tiny holiday. We got up to a little bit of fun and made fresh gnocchi with a delicious tomato chilli sauce...

 

The last photo is not very pretty but I'd forgotten to take photos and then Joel started on seconds...HOLD THE FORK!

A few steps but really simple, thanks to Thermie, and the lightness of the gnocchi was incredible.

Cook on my (well, Kate's) fellow Thermomix MasterChef's...

I'm delighting in all the pretty Christmas decoration and present ideas this year!

I'm pretty sure the giveaway has ended but check out this website.

All the products look amazing.  I hope to purchase some for Christmas and perhaps an organic coconut oil for my new bathroom shelves...

This giveaway has definitely not closed. Thanks Che and Fidel once again for your generosity!

We have been accosted with a crying, slobbering, happy then sad 19 month old. I don't know who this child is but I'd like Nora back! We can't work out whether she's teething, sick, has joined the Bon Jovi philosophy of 'sleep when I'm dead' or just testing the boundaries? Let's just say there has been copious amounts of shoulder shrugging and desperate sighs between Mr and I.

Right now, she's happily playing, opening and closing the window chatting to Daddy.  TWO minutes ago she was howling and throwing food on the floor...What the?

Does anybody know if there are some specific behaviour changes around 19 months? I want to see the light! HELP?!
