I read LOTS of blogs. This is a pared-down list.
I’ve also included some poddies that I’ve been interviewed on.
Enjoy!
Thermomix Blogs:
These top two are EASILY the sites I use most often. Thermobexta is a vegetarian site (but with ‘meaty’ options to most recipes) that became an absolute godsend when my youngest son, Evan, became a vego.
Tick of Yum Bee is a friend of mine and although this blog isn’t maintained any more, there’s a lot of good things here.
Quirky Cooking Excellent for people with food allergies
The Bush GourmandThis blog is still current.
ChooTheFat’s Thermomix Adventures
Craft and Writing Blogs:

Happy Earth: Adventures in Urban Sustainability This is another defunct blog, but it has useful bits and pieces in it.
Deep Green Permaculture Valuable resource. I use it all the time.

Fingerless gloves are fabulous–love the length. My daughter has been asking for some. Dare I? How hard were they? (asked the very tentative knitter!)
Saw that you won one of Julia’s prizes, too. I can’t wait! Let me know. . . ! 🙂
