I love this site and my relationship with you guys and have no intention of diminishing either in any way. As I said, I will be writing […]

tfp is now on EatingWA

Remember I said I had some cool news? Well, here it is (I think it’s pretty cool anyway!). From time to time, I will now be writing for EatingWA, a Perth restaurant review site. I must confess I wasn’t actually aware of EatingWA (too busy eating, maybe!) until its managing director emailed me recently and […]

Dad’s birthday lunch – the sweet

Ange made the birthday cake for Dad using a special fruit cake recipe designed for diabetics. Dad wasn’t into the whole candles on birthday cake thing, but we did sing Happy Birthday. Mum brought along some cupcakes for those who might not like the diabetic fruit cake (but I think people who ate cupcakes also […]

Pancakes, maple syrup, bacon

For breakfast today we had pancakes (made by Jac), bacon (fried by Jac) and maple syrup (poured by me, hee hee). If you’ve never eaten those three things together you really should give it a go (unless you’re super strict about mixing sweet and savoury flavours). I really like this photo. This is what a […]

Friday lunch and dinner

Yet another photo of yet another uni lunch of yet another bowl of chicken noodle soup. For dinner last night, Jac made a chicken and vegetable (carrots, green beans, green capsicum, spring onions) stir-fry. The sauce was a combination of hoisin sauce, soy sauce and chicken stock. The chicken was thigh pieces cut into chunks […]

A tasty mess

On Thursday night we went to the shops and shared this large barbecue combination (four different meats: roast pork, barbecue pork, roast duck and herbed chicken) with fried rice and egg noodles. It looked like a complete mess on the plate, but it was really goooooood. The lady who served me poured a generous ladle […]

Me like meatballs

I’m still working on getting that lamb meatballs recipe for those of you who expressed an interest (and I also really want it for ME!). This post also features lamb meatballs, but this is one of Jac’s no recipe creations. I did ask her for the recipe but she was very vague. But as you […]

Another meal featuring fish and chips

My portable DVD player arrived yesterday, but as no one was home at the time the postie left a card in the letterbox telling me to collect it from the local post office. So that’s our first task to do this morning. We’ll also grab the Saturday paper while we’re out because the full Perth […]

The last temptation of a nerd

I am sooooooooooooooooooo bad. No, not really. But I must stay away from Zazz. It’s the Australian version of woot.com. Every day at midnight EST (which is currently 10:00pm here in the West), a new item is on sale for one day only (24 hours) or until stocks run out, whichever comes first. The items […]
