    I recieved a Thermomix as a gift about two years ago from my friends in Cyprus (they have raved for years!). The delivery was a bit chaotic as the salesperson was travelling and very busy. In the meantime, I lost her contact information. I would love to have the product demonstration that she discussed with me. Would you happen to know who the sales agent in Calgary is?

    Thank you,
    Sherri Balm

Picnic for Saturday! ‘My mom’s is better than Picnic for Saturday!

-4 eggs, hard “boiled”
-5 pounds of potatoes, or so (2.3K)
-one bunch of small radishes, and if you pick them from your garden, one bunch
-one small bunch of chives
-2-3 stalks of celery
1 small onion

Dressing
-200g homemade mayonnaise
-20g Dijon mustard
-10g salt, or to taste
-5g pepper, or to taste (I like lots)

Soup for dinner! Summer Dinners are the perfect t Soup for dinner!

Summer Dinners are the perfect time to test out my creation of this homemade preserved Asparagus Soup Concentrate on the family and it was a slam dunk! It is not a fresh asparagus soup. It is a concentrate, re-constituted with added ingredients that enables a seemingly fresh homemade soup later in the year with little effort. The finished soup is a delicate blend of flavours with a more subtle asparagus note than a fresh asparagus soup would present, yet renders a compelling appeal that consistency evokes that same strong pleasurable response.

What better way to start your Sunday, than with a delicious toast with healthy homemade HOMEMADE Almond Milk!

The dry pulp is delicious. If you don’t mind the texture, leave it in. Many do. The above pulp is creamy and delicious. Throw it into another recipe. Don’t waste it! It is almonds and rice. Absolutely delicious. Me? I ate a little ball of it every day til it was gone. Yummy. And the Homemade Almond Milk.

The addition of the crunchy hand-mined fleur de sel on the top elevates the taste over the top of any salted caramel ice cream bar! As well as the silken creamy texture, it held the freeze well.
