LuLu's Orangeade



Since my friend give me a lots of orange, so, I decide to make an Orangeade for myself with Thermomix this noon. I blend the sugar so that it's easy to melt later (it produce the same result if we blend the rock sugar).



I cut the orange only because wanna make sure all is in good condition. If it's fresh, we can direct blend it.



Add in the orange and water and blend it in just few sec (3 x Turbo button). Then can filter it with the simmering basket.



The skin left after pulverize.

LuLu Healthy Rice ^^












自从买了
Thermomix之后,我每次下厨准备餐点时都至少一定会用它来煮饭。因为它太方便了。我把米直接放入纲锅洗净,然后放入装了水的主锅中,15分钟后就有香喷喷的饭出炉咯。。。













如果是细小的碎米,在底下用碗把从缝隙掉落的米粒盛住,洗完米再放回纲锅中煮。水的份量就视我们所要吃的米饭软硬度决定了。如果喜欢吃软绵带微湿的就要让水位多过米粒,不然只要稍微触碰水面就可以了。米不会因为放了太多水而煮成浓粥呢!





饭煮熟后可以看到锅里的水成米白色,因为淀粉都留在里面了。所以用Thermomix煮出来的米饭都可以安心的吃,不必担心摄取太多淀粉而发胖或提高血糖哦!

Making LIFE Better


I had bought my Thermomix TM31 in May 2009 and starting making Life better. Many of my friends and relative short as I willing to pay so much money to get such a small machine. But as what I saw Nick Harman wrote in his blog as shown in the photo above (I copy, paste it), I believe I did the best and correct decision. And I am ready to share with you how I enjoyed my life with it soon. (^_*)
