Anyone here know anything about unprocessed bran? I got some this arvo because I want to make this bran tea cake, turns out I'll have to make it next weekend... Right now I have so many bloody zucchini I'm going to have to make a zucchini and walnut loaf tomorrow... So anyway can you just put the bran stuff on your cereal or perhaps put it in a smoothie?

Same here, I would watch it every night and dream of owning it and all the amazing things u would make with it. I was SO excited when I finally got one, but I don't think I even once used a recipe. I would occasionally use it like a food processor at times and once I did use it for cake batter as per the infomercial, but that's it.

Oh yeah I would do whipped cream. I actually think I made a Mexican guacamole dip in it one time for a themed party.

I am in two minds as to whether I should replace with a NutriBullet or not ?!?

No idea about unprocessed bran. Never used it.

But I LOVE zucchini. Can I have some ? 😀[DOUBLEPOST=1415452967][/DOUBLEPOST]

Anywho, I'm sad that BB is ending in 2 weeks.

SURPRISED @bleachy_dude?! :p

I'm still holding out hope that it will be renewed.
 
I only joined this forum this season. What happens on here during the 'off season'? Does BBB go dead quiet? Or do people come on here and talk shit? I'm slowly becoming addicted to this place...

If mine were to die I'd definitely replace it, not sure whether I'd go magic or nutri though, however they seem pretty identical to me. Same with the rocket blender. I guess it depends how much you'd use it, of all my appliances that is the least gimmicky and most used. I don't know though.

I do dream of owning a thermomix - get that![DOUBLEPOST=1415453079][/DOUBLEPOST]

What would you like to know about it? I have some that I never use if that helps.

There are a handful of people who do continue to post (mostly here in The Lounge or in a few surviving threads up above) but for the most part it goes really dead. Almost as soon as the day after the Finale, the posts just start dying off and it goes quiet... and sad.

Last off-season stayed a little active due to the Post-BB antics thread and there is slow but steady off topic posts.

They don't sell Magic bullet anymore. Superseded by NutriBullet, but it's a bit different. Not sure whether it is a good replacement??

I've been to a thermomix demo. They are amazing. My friend has one.
I don't cook enough interesting stuff to warrant a $2k kitchen appliance.

Can you just eat it on cereal/ in a beverage or do you need to cook it because I googled unprocessed bran and all I am seeing are recipes for bloody bran muffins.

Some people do stick around.... I'll be interested to see who does stay around this year, especially if this is the last season of BBAU.

As shit as this season has been, I hope it's not the last.

Well that's depressing. Surely we all have SOMETHING to talk about?

No I don't think you have to cook it, obviously you can and its more palatable mixed into another recipe but you can have it as on your cereal or wherever. Sometimes my mum would make me have it mixed in with water before a meal, either that or psyllium husks. I don't recommend that though as it is gross!

No they do sell it! They do! I saw it in a store recently and was amazed because I thought it had just been rebranded as nutri. It's around still, but maybe this was the last stock in the world.
