My mind feels blank today, and I'm having a hard time concentrating on planning this week's menu... so I'll keep it short and sweet. We're having a few repeats from last week's menu, as I ended up with way too much food last week and didn't need to cook everything on the menu. That's because I was also cooking extra things so I could take photos for the blog, and to practice for cooking demonstrations. No one complained about the chocolate mousses filling the fridge, or having to eat Chicken and Cashews yet again... so that was all good. And since I forgot to thaw out the lamb roast last Sunday (and had to make a quick Thermomix spaghetti bolognese instead), we'll try for that again this week!

Before I go, I'm just wondering how often you all use your Varoma? I use mine every day - sometimes three times a day! As well as cooking meals in it, I also use it to heat up leftovers. We don't have a microwave because I don't like to use them - it's much healthier to use the Thermomix for warming food. I often cook something and warm up the leftovers at the same time - for example, soup or pasta sauce in the tmx bowl cooking on Varoma temp, and leftover pasta, rice, meat or veges in the Varoma tray on top. If the leftovers are a casserole or have a sauce, etc, I put wet baking paper into the tray to stop them dripping through the holes. I also use the Varoma for warming up yesterday's bread rolls or slices of cake that are getting a bit dry - they turn out nice and warm and steamy! If you've got some great ideas for using the Varoma, leave a comment to share them with us all...
And don't forget to leave a comment on "Happy Birthday to Quirky Cooking" this month to go in the draw to win a great prize!!
Hope you all have a good week. :) And to all you guys down south where the floods are - keep safe, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
