Did someone say mashed potatoes?

Pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes?

Or they don't want to spend four figure sums on a dust collector.

Seriously, mum HAD to get a NutriBullet, it was going to be used constantly, we'd be having smoothies, juices, health drinks and all kinds of bullshit every day and now it hasn't been used since February.

Once the novelty wears off, you'll be kicking yourself for wasting your money.

Also, I thought I had responded to pv4, but it seems I mustn't have sent it. Anyway, I'm glad to hear your daughter's all right. Now try and convince Mrs. pv4 not to get a Thermomix. It's not worth spending thousands just to show your friends just how rich you "are" (when you'll be paying off that machine for ages), rub it in their faces and use it obsessively for like a fortnight, a month tops before chucking it into the bottom of the pantry and stubbing your toe on it every now and then, cursing yourself for buying it while you apply an ice pack to your foot.

spending 4 figures on a device that gets used 4-5 times a week over nearly 2 years is hardly wasting money.
The novelty certainly is wearing off for us.

and every person I know that has one certainly isn't rich and trying to show off. most of them purchased it on the 0% interest over 24 months.

So please keep trying to bag out something you have never even used or tried.

Plenty of chefs use and love the thermomix. After seeing chefs like Heston Blumenthal use and reccommend it I was virtually convinced they were a half decent product and It has certainly proved to be a decent product.

Sounds like a cult jim

Thermomix damage control squad out in full force :lol:

Just giving my two cents m80

From personal experience, I can say that these sorts of appliances usually become neglected.

Your mum buying a nutribullet isn't personal experience.

PS - I'm not defending Thermomix. I reckon they are a waste of money unless you are using them commercially.

:lol:

Fuck a Thermomix, get a Sous Vide machine instead.

WGMG: Laptop fell off my bed, smashed my screen. So livid

Amen to that. I wasn't that convinced they were all that good so I made one with a thermostat and a cheap rice cooker.
took me 25 minutes, $40 in total and have been blown away by how good it is.

Granted our one isn't as precise compared to a decent unit as it fluctuates by .5 of a degree which is apparently a big no no but it still makes the juciest steaks and burgers.

Sous vide is criminally underrated. You can make amazing scrambled eggs in them too.

I feel exactly the same.

How much your life will change post-school is crazy man. Hang in there.

It's not that hectic. The "consultant" you buy it from delivers it first-hand, and cooks a meal with you.

The way I see the thermomix is it's a luxury that opens a variety of options to your cooking arsenal that with most of the utensils in your kitchen you could do already.

For isntance, at the party the consultant made a rad sorbet. I took the exact same ingredients and made it in my existing, like $30 blender at home and it was just as good. The main issue I had that she didn't have using the thermomix was I had to manually measure the weight of the sugar I had, whereas the thermomix lets you know.

Don't get me wrong - I can see the advantage of the thing. But it takes out a lot of the reasons I enjoy cooking so much. I take pride in how I cut my onions, how I boil my pasta, etc - and I enjoy the process. This thing takes all the fun out of it - for what I consider an end product that is no better than if I did it myself.

And if my life becomes too hectic that I can't invest the time for my meals that I currently do, and I "need" a thermomix - then I fxxxing hope I'm getting paid the coin to warrant so, and price wouldn't be an issue :lol:

You should consider speaking to a counsellor or your GP about it. Its quite common at your stage of life to feel like this. There is always help available. You're not alone. Sometimes just talking about it is all that is needed.

WGMG: Fox wanking hard over Hayne

WGMG: driving home after work from cragieburn, driving down Sydney Rd theres flogs spread out in 4-5 cars with their hazards on doing a rolling blockade across the entire highway going towards the city
Legit did not think such flogs exist

Fuck thats sucks. Why were doing it...????¿¿¿¿¿¿???
Wgmg: got an eye infection

No idea, once they got to Campbellfield plaza king Koopa at the front rounded them up and they headed down Mahoneys Rd, they must've been doing it for a while because it was awfully quiet and they still had 12-13 cars behind them

Fuck that is annoying . Ive done that before that with my car club. There was 50 of us so we had no choice but to have a convoy and block everyone behind us off :lol:

:lol: care to take responsibility for tonight then? :lol:

Oh hell no :lol:

WGMG:

Salespeople selling their crap at train stations.

Salesman"how ya going mate do you have a sec?"
Me "I'm walking into a train station you tell me?"

WGMG: the car wreckers next door to my work has got a new dog to sit in the yard and act as it's guard dog. Apparently the girls at our work were patting the old dog through the fence, and it "became too soft".

Problem is, the new dog is a teenage-to-mature age dalmation. It's gorgeous, but clearly despises being there. It's been there all week and has cried/howled all day, every day. Everyone in our entire workplace can hear it, it's not just sad but is physically hurting our ears. Poor mate.

Wgmg- beggars

Theres the unemployment line, use it

Wgmg: my left shoulder which i fucked up ages ago is playing up again. So much so that i threw up due to the substainal pain.

:shock:

Can't even comprehend being in that much pain.

What did you do to it?

I pinched nerve whilst driving high reach forklift 3 years ago. Got pain killers but because i work in manufacturing the shoulder has serious tedonitis .

A bit late but god damn. I'm so glad that I haven't had to experience that kind of pain.

The worst pain I've ever gone through was when I ran into a coffee table chasing a balloon as a toddler. Split my forehead and I needed several stitches. Toddler salmon had a meltdown in the doctor's office when he was being stitched up. :(

Yep can comprehend that extent of pain. Over the past 18 months I've had about a dozen trigeminal neuralgia attacks that have at their worst point Have pushed me to throwing up... which actually exacerbates the situation. Was actually told that you're more like to piss yourself than to throw up due to pain, have almost been there but i think because it's such an embarrassing you can somehow subconsciously try to avoid it.
