The Leaf Tea Merchants has closed down. Today, we belatedly celebrated my sister Juji’s 21st birthday with morning tea at the Leaf Tea Merchants in Mount Lawley. We all had the Parisian Rose Morning Tea (AU$25 per person). This post is subtitled: Ohhhhhh, the sugar… The Morning Tea came with Parisian Rose tea as standard, […]
In case you’re looking for it, see Monday’s work lunch here. Tuesday: I had lunch on my own at Han’s. I sat and read my current book – another Murder, She Wrote novel, Provence -To Die For (Yep, Jessica Fletcher is in France, eating croissants for breakfast and bringing murder to Europe!). I had two […]
As the title suggests, here are three dinners we had this week involving chicken. Monday: homemade chicken kebabs, made with Lebanese flat bread filled with marinated chicken, lettuce, tomato and rolled up. There was sauce in there – could’ve been barbecue and aioli. I’ll double-check with Jac and update/correct later on. Tuesday:…
Like this pink poppy. It’s a long weekend over here this weekend and I’m been really looking forward to it. Tomorrow, we’ll be celebrating my sister Juji’s 21st birthday with morning tea. On Sunday, Jac and I will be going to the Perth Royal Show. I ate my way through the show last year and […]
Monday: S and I had lunch at Toraya (next to Woolworths Subiaco). SRM and I ate there last week, but S hadn’t yet been there herself. She’d been ill last week with a terrible tummy bug and was pleased she could eat again without worrying about… um, having to see it again (ewww!). A nice […]
We didn’t have a birthday cake, but after the dinner dishes had been cleared, Juji brought out a tiramisu she’d made (one of Mark’s favourite desserts) – and we all sang happy birthday. Obviously we didn’t bother with candles! The tiramisu was gorgeous. The coffee flavour was just perfect. I had intended to just have […
On Sunday evening the family got together to celebrate my Dad and brother’s birthdays, which are both in September. My younger sister Juji’s birthday is also in September, but we’re celebrating with high tea next weekend – stay tuned for the photos of that ;). We had three kinds of Chinese roast/barbecue meats – these …
First, breakfast: bacon and eggs, mushrooms and more of our homegrown tomatoes. We’ll probably eat the last of the tomato crop this week or the next. I’ve really enjoyed them. The bacon was “short cut” – quite lean, but very nice. For fry-ups, Jac likes her eggs over easy. Today she had just one egg. […]
On Thursday night, Jac and I . We’d both been craving a caesar salad, and having enjoyed the caesar salad at Dome in the city, we thought the caesars at Dome Carousel would satisfy our cravings. How wrong we were! Jac ordered a caesar salad (AU$10.50) for herself, and a pesto chicken caesar salad (AU$13.95) […]
Monday night’s dinner included ma po tofu, made using firm tofu (that’s all we had, next time will get softer tofu), chicken mince and a Japanese boxed ma po tofu flavour mix. So quick and easy. Jac cooked it up in the big wok. I commandeered the small wok and stir-fried green beans with garlic […]
