Summer tomatoes again!

Last summer, I posted a photo of tomatoes from our garden. Well, here are this season’s tomatoes! Last year’s were cherry tomatoes, this year’s look like grape ones. Many thanks to MT for giving us the tomato plants.

VR makes dinner

Ooooh, I forgot I’d taken photos of tonight’s dinner! So here’s a quick post before I finish my cuppa and go to bed. VR made dinner tonight: grilled crimson snapper and salad. The fish was cooked with cracked black pepper and butter. It was a very meaty fish (I like meaty fish!) and the simple […]

The weekend’s food

On Saturday morning Jac and I went to the shops and I introduced her to Sumo Salad. We shared a regular grilled chicken caesar, which came with a free bread roll, which was a nice bonus – when Juj and Jay and I ate Sumo Salad in town we didn’t get free bread. Jac really […]

Burgers and Bond

On Friday evening, Jac, VR and I went to the movies. We saw Casino Royale. I loved it – I will definitely buy it when it’s been released on DVD. Without giving too much away in case anyone reading hasn’t seen it yet, highlights (for me, anyway) worth mentioning are: 1) the animated opening credits […]

Cottage pie

On Thursday evening I arrived home to the delicious aroma of savoury mince cooking on the stove – a meaty, Worchestershire saucey sort of smell. Mmmmm. Jac was making cottage pie – the savoury mince was just made from lamb mince, carrots, cabbage, onions and spinach and a variety of sauces and herbs (sorry, I […]

I’d just like to take a moment […

Another dinner

Last night’s dinner was simple but tasty – panfried lemon pepper fish (I think they were New Zealand frozen hoki filets)… … mushrooms and garlic cloves fried in a little butter… …and a simple salad of lettuce, Lebanese cucumber and cherry tomatoes. I put my salad dressing on the side in a wee dish to […]

New Year’s Day dinner

On New Year’s Day, Jac and VR came home from Dunsborough. I’d enjoyed my time alone but I’d really missed Jac, so I was chuffed to see them. That evening Jac and I went to my folks’ for dinner (VR was invited but was too tired and I suspect, rather ooged out from all the […]

Bee hoon alone

I didn’t eat anything very interesting or particularly food porny while Jac and VR were in Dunsborough over the weekend. The only meal of note (since I’ve already told you about the Thai green curry, which incidently stretched out to three meals – and then I decided it probably wasn’t a good thing to eat […]
