Steak sanger

On Friday my plan was: go to uni in the morning, pick up the four copies of my printed and bound thesis and submit them at the graduate office. After that, I wasn’t sure. Go into the city and have something nice for lunch, I suppose. The thesis wasn’t ready for pickup as early as […]

Lunch with Jac, 22/02/2007

On Thursday Jac and I went out for a food hall lunch. We had Japanese – Jac started with some mixed sushi. I didn’t have any because it was mostly seafood-filled sushi, not really my preference. I like seafood, but in sushi I always prefer chicken, egg or even vegetable. I had a small serve […]

Ugh, soya cheese!

To use up more pantry/fridge/freezer bits and pieces, Jac decided to make a pasta bake. She got the idea from a pasta bake that our friend SG made recently. Jac seasoned a few chicken thighs with salt and pepper, panfried them and then sliced them up. She also cooked up a pot of pasta spirals. […]

What’s a saddletail?

We had a really delicious feed of fish and salad (yes, yet another meal of fish and salad – I told you, I don’t think I’ll get tired of it!) this week. The fish was saddletail snapper (I have no idea what a saddletail is and am too lazy to google it right now). Jac […]

Caramel, date and walnut slice

We did a cleanout of our pantry recently and rounded up forgotten bits and pieces that we needed to make use of or throw out once and for all. Although she was still quite stiff and sore, Jac had been itching to do something other than just lie on the couch watching DVDs. As I […]

Burger and stir-fry

While I was at the shops the other day picking up stuff for making a stir-fry for dinner, I had a quick lunch at McDonald’s. Yes, I’m hopelessly addicted to the Filet-O-Fish. The stir-fry I made that evening had chicken and an assortment of vegies in it – spring onion, garlic, snow peas, mushrooms, green […]

VR’s semi-surprise early birthday dinner

VR left for Sydney on Monday. She’ll be back with us in two and a half weeks’ time for about a week, and then she’ll be leaving for good (well, until the next trip to Australia). It was her birthday on Tuesday, and since she would be in Sydney by then Jac and I made […]

Miscellaneous

This post features a few miscellaneous photos. First, a tin of Plumrose sausages – it was supposed to contain 8 sausages but had only 7. I was planning to write Plumrose a letter, but I forgot to keep the can aside and it ended up in the garbage. Oh well. The 7 sausages were as […]

Visiting Jac at hospital, 15/02/2007 Part 2

VR left after a couple of hours – she had a few errands to do in town. Jac’s mum, Pattycakes, arrived just after noon. We hung out with Jac until patient rest time at 1pm, and decided we’d grab some lunch together in the cafe downstairs. My mental note about a steak sandwich and chips […]
