Another excellent barbie at Lou and Dan’s, Part 1

Today, we went to a barbie at Lou and Dan’s, to celebrate Dan’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN! When we arrived Lou was just putting the nibblies out on the table, so I whipped out the camera and got to work right away. On one side, pate and mini toasts: On the other side, a bowl […]

Breaking News: Billy Lee has learned to share!

Following on from the previous post… I was just on my way to bed and saw the cats snuggled up together on the new bed! They both fit on there very nicely! The photo is very dark as the lighting in our lounge is quite dim, and I didn’t want to use the flash. I’ll […]

Billy Lee’s the boss (WCB #66)

While we were out today we stopped by City Farmers to pick up some cat food. We also bought a new bed for the cats. We chose one which seemed lovely and comfy, and would be big enough for them to snuggle up together on. They usually snuggle up together, all cosy and purry. It’s […]

Green

I thought you might like to see what we have growing in our garden. Jamie Oliver would say it’s “growing like the clappers”. Jac planted the lettuce from a packet of seeds which had only Italian description/instructions on it. It tastes pretty good. We’ve been using it to make salads. Also in the photo is […]

Another Saturday Brunch

Between the time I rang MK and actually bought the custard puffs, Jac and I had brunch. We’re savoury rather than sweet people, and so custard puffs, although appealing, just wouldn’t cut it as breakfast food for us. We chucked a few laps trying to decide where and what to eat. Jac sort of felt […]

More of that caesar feeling… with nachos

We recently had brunch at Leonardo’s, which is a cafe at Carousel Shopping Centre (see details and map here). We ordered two dishes to share. First, a caesar salad (AU$9.95). Jac absolutely loved the dressing because it was particularly parmesan-cheesey. We both thought the bacon pieces were a good size and the croutons were extremely [&helli…

More dinners

Here are two recent dinners, cooked by Jac (of course), and eaten enthusiastically by me (of course!). First, a noodle stir-fry with chicken, garlic tofu and vegetables (onions, garlic, mushrooms, green beans, spring onion and baby corn spears). The noodles are Japanese mushroom noodles Jac bought from an asian supermarket. I think she used mushroo…

Curry, curry, everywhere!

I’m back again, after one and a half episodes of Magnum P.I. while aerofitting. Jac is at her hockey club’s season windup, hopefully having a good time. It’s just me now, in my tracksuit sitting in front of the pc, with Magnum on the telly and Billy Lee purring at my feet. Pixel, who doesn’t […]

Resisting the song of the deepfried siren

I’ve tried my best to be a good hockey wife lately. Last weekend I watched Jac play in her hockey match. On Tuesday this week I went with Jac to watch her hockey club’s top men’s team play for a chance to be promoted to the Classic League. The match was at 7:15 at Perth […]
