Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat…

Well, there’s no goose… I was just singing that old song, Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat Please put a penny in the old man’s hat… Last week, I heard an Aussie version of Jingle Bells on the radio which I thought was really cool. It went something like, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, […]

Satay night – the sweet

Sorry I took so long to post this! Pre-Christmas stuff had to be done. After the satay, we enjoyed sweets made by three different people! OK. This first dessert has a little story behind it. These two kinds of “balls” were made by Wanda. Wanda is the wife of Michael, who helped cook the satay. […]

Satay night – the savoury

Sausages and sauerkraut (for Haz and Todd)

Some of you will have seen them before on a previous incarnation of my site, but I thought I’d post them in honour of Haz and Todd, who have been waxing lyrical about sausages […]

TFP’s Chicken Salad

For dinner tonight, Jac made chicken salad. Actually, I first made this salad a number of years ago when Jac’s cousin and her hubby were visiting from Queensland and we had them over for dinner, so Jac calls it “TFP’s Chicken Salad”. I’ve never bothered to write the recipe down before, but Jac wrote down […]

A very proteiny lunch. The plumber came over and changed four sets of taps and fixed the loo. We’ve needed […]

A lovely barbie with lovely friends

Yesterday evening we (Jac, our house guest VR and I) went to a barbie at my uni friend MK and her hubby AK’s place. It was just so relaxing to catch up with mates while eating lots of yummy food. The food was fantastic – all prepared and provided by MK and AK. The company […]

Char siu wantan weird

I have a number of comments and emails to reply to… but first, food (YEAH!). On Sunday while our house guest was catching up on some much needed sleep, Jac and I went out to the shops. We ended up at Belmont Forum and had lunch in the recently done up food hall there. We […]

No more, please.

Unfortunately, I have to go to uni this morning, so I haven’t got much time to write at the moment. I just wanted to say: There’s been another flame war going on within the comments to that recent post (you know the one I mean). Reading the new hateful comments by Leigh, I have noticed […]
