I forgot to tell you about Savannah’s party birthday cake. It was made by her other grandmother (not the one who made the crunchy noodle salad), who is a very talented cake maker/decorator. I should’ve taken a photo of the complete assembly of fairies (there must’ve been ten or so fairies, arranged in a ring […]
As the salads were being tossed, I sneaked off to take photos of the barbie. Here are the beef chipolatas. The blob of goop at the back is satay sauce, which we had on… …these chicken kebabs. We also had grilled chicken breasts too. I usually don’t enjoy chicken breasts (I always choose thighs, if […]
[Chronologically, this post and Parts 2 and 3 should also come before the Monday post] On Sunday, we celebrated Jac’s niece Savannah’s 8th birthday. In the afternoon, Savannah and her school friends went on a limo party, with Jac as chaperone. We’d never heard of a limo party before this – basically, the girls got […]
[Chronologically, this post should come before the Monday post] On Saturday morning Jac had to drop by her work to do a few things, and on her way back she picked up some breakfast. Whatever we didn’t finish would become snacks later. First, we had assorted sushi – from left to right: tuna and mayo, […]
I’m running really behind with posts again this week. I’ve been working on my thesis conclusion waaaay too long – I need to finish it ASAP. It’s going to be another fun (not) day. [I began writing this post this morning – but have only been able to post this afternoon] Monday was sort of […]
I just discovered something cool – so cool I thought – that I simply must tear myself away from the thesis writing and tell you! Maybe this is old news, but I didn’t know that you can get digital cameras which have a “food” mode/setting! Yeah, how cool! I found out this piece of information […]
Jac made burgers for dinner tonight. She made the patties out of beef mince, grated carrot, dried chives, fresh garlic, cumin, beef stock powder (instead of salt), black pepper, wholemeal flour and an egg (the flour and the egg for binding the mixture). It was only after making the burger patties and slicing the tomatoes, […]
Dinner on Tuesday night was panfried lemon pepper chicken, served with peas and another batch of steamed sweet potatoes and carrots, tossed in Lee Kum Kee plum sauce and fresh cut chillies in soy sauce (Jac cooked sweet potatoes and carrots for the very first time in that way quite recently).
I ate this lunch at my desk at uni on Tuesday. I really cannot get enough of this chicken curry! The vegies were good too.
Really! I had breakfast with Astro Boy this week at uni. See? He thought the chicken, mayo and lettuce sandwich I bought from the bus station looked pretty good. I also ate a chicken caesar salad bought from Aroma. The croutons and bacon and chicken were really tasty, but the dressing wasn’t really that caesar-like. […]
