Sue & Chris
The ThermoCouple
Life isn’t about dieting — it’s about building habits that last. After 5 years with WW, I realised it wasn’t enough for me anymore. Approaching 60, I needed a realistic, nourishing approach that supported my health — good fats, essential oils, and sustainable eating.
Now, I count calories, feel better, eat better, and still rely on my Thermomix almost daily to make it easy and delicious.
Curious? I’d love to share what’s working: sue@thethermocouple.com.au
BALI WAS AMAZING!

4am - 190ml of rain last night in Seminyak Bali last night. The storm was absolutely incredible. The lightning and the loudest thunder I have ever heard. Flooding everywhere

Morning from Sanur – honestly, this place is heaven on earth (with a touch of sauna on the side 🥵).
We kicked off at a “cool” 26° and humid, but the second the sun popped up it was like someone cranked the oven to full blast.
Our stroll from the hotel to the marina included a very necessary breakfast stop at Puri Santrian – because walking without food is just exercise, and nobody came here for that 😂.
Finished up with icy cold drinks for the girls and a well-earned Bintang for the boys 🍻. Hydration is key, after all!
Now it’s officially rest, recover, and pretend-we-didn’t-sweat-like-tourists time.

Our first morning in Sanur and of course we had to chase the sunrise! Roby, Chris and I wandered down to the beach at 5:40am, while Sue decided to snooze through it 😜 At first, the clouds made it look like we might miss out, but Sanur didn’t disappoint – what a magical morning 🌅
Today, a sweet surprise was delivered to my daughter’s workplace for a special colleague’s birthday. The little piggies on top were a playful secret between them. 🐷💖
The cupcakes? FunkyBatter’s pistachio batter paired with @funkybatter dreamy FluffCrème. Oh. My. Goodness. I think I’ve just found my new all-time favourite flavour combo—and judging by the empty box, everyone else agreed. Absolutely amazing! 🤩

Spent our Saturday exploring the city again — and what a day! We kicked things off with drinks at @bearbrassbar (highly recommend the elderflower & basil spritz — seriously the best), then made our way to dinner at @thegnocchiproject. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favour and check it out. Absolutely delicious.
The city was buzzing — packed with people, good vibes everywhere. We wandered through the streets soaking it all in before heading to a spot that’s been on our list for a while: @kumo_au. And wow — it did not disappoint. We only had to queue for a short time, then we were in and treated to the most incredible dessert bar. The staff were so lovely — genuinely enjoying what they do, which made the experience even better. And the pancakes? No words. Just amazing.
Afterwards, we took a stroll to walk off all the food. As we passed St Francis Catholic Church, we noticed a black crow perched quietly, just enjoying the night. A bit unexpected, but kind of magical.
We wrapped things up wandering along Southbank back to the car, feeling full, happy, and grateful for such a great night out
We had a delicious dinner tonight, courtesy of @recipe_tin`s Creamy Fish on Potatoes recipe by Nagi! 😋 Our Thermomix cookware allowed for easy one-pan cooking. The meal`s creamy and crunchy elements complemented each other perfectly. We paired it with steamed vegetables, a classic favourite. Highly recommended! To make it my own, I reduced the butter, opted for light cream, and used half the EVOO. The meal`s total calorie count was 467.
Exploring Melbourne`s gems with great friends - lunch at South Melbourne market, shopping, and dinner at Hardware lane with dessert @adozenadozen.mel Ending the day with a bang at Docklands for #firelightfestival - amazing ♥️
A 3 year old`s dream birthday unfolded yesterday, complete with a Paw Patrol cake, a cool new 4x4 ride on, and wonderful presents 🎁 friends and family. Happy Birthday darling Ivy. So glad you had a wonderful day ♥️♥️♥️
How are you already 3, Ivy Susan? 💕 Happy Birthday Gorgeous Girl! You are the absolute light of my life. You make me laugh, cry, smile, and feel a love that’s endless and deep. From the very moment you were born, I’ve been right by your side – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Nanny4life, my big girl. I love you more than words can say. (And wow – those genes are strong in that last photo!) 💖
✨ Dinner tonight was a winner! ✨ We made Jamie Oliver’s Fantastic Fish Pie 🐟🥧 and it did not disappoint. Creamy, comforting, and full of flavour — this dish instantly took me back to childhood memories of Mum’s salmon kedgeree 💛
There’s something so nostalgic about a fish pie — the crispy golden top, the rich filling, the feeling of being wrapped in a warm food hug. Just what you need on a cold winters night.
If you’re craving comfort food that hits the spot, this is it. Thanks Jamie — you’ve done it again! 👏

I did use cooking cream, not double cream and cut back on the cheese but could I tell the difference-NO!
