I stayed home to look after Jac on Wednesday. Of course you guys know I love her, but she drove me crazy! :) She felt pretty good following her procedure and kept wanting to do things around the house rather than rest and take it easy as she’d been directed by the cardio. A few […]
On Tuesday, Jac had the procedure done to fix her heart. Those of you who’ve been readers for a while will know that Jac’s had some heart issues in the last year or so (click here to read the related posts). I don’t know why, but I didn’t tell anyone about it apart from my […]
It’s been a full-on week. There were two main events. First – I had a job interview on Monday. The second event took place on Tuesday, and was the main main event. I’ll tell you all about it in the next post. Don’t worry, everything is OK. My job interview was for a higher level […]
On Saturday, we still had some KFC leftover from Friday night’s dinner to finish, but Jac was in a cooking mood and wanted to do something more than merely heating up pieces of chicken (admittedly, I would’ve just eaten the chicken cold, straight out of the fridge – who here likes cold KFC? and cold […]
Last weekend, Jac’s mum’s friend E kindly made us some biryani and curry, which she sent along to us in a tiffin carrier. In the top tier was finely chopped fried cabbage and carrot, and a dish of yoghurt and mint sauce (raita). In the second tier was the curry – Jac thought it was […]
We went to the shops this morning to do a little grocery shopping. But before that, we needed food. Once again, we shared a large curry combination from Maya Masala. Clockwise from the orange stuff at the top: butter chicken, lamb kurma, mushrooms and peas. The rice is under all that. And that’s the pappadum, […]
On Friday I skipped Christmas drinks after work and instead went with Jac to Curtin University to attend the opening of Department of Art’s Degree Show 2007. My sister Juji’s Honours project work was on display, along with the work of many other art students. As it was the official opening, there were speeches, awards, […]
For our midweek dinner date, we decided to continue with our Victoria Park theme, and try Jewel of the Park Indian Restaurant. We’ve driven past many times and wondered if it was any good. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, and I chose a table for two next to the window. The whole […]
On Tuesday night Jac served grilled salt-and-pepper chicken salad. She ate hers with Paul Newman Ranch Dressing, while I had mine with Neil Perry Aioli. For sweets Jac assembled a platter of cheese, fruit, crackers and fruit cake. Clockwise, from the mango at the top: fresh mango, dark fruit cake, pitted prunes, red apple, Mersey […]
Monday: I bought three items from Woolworths (yep, the supermarket!) for my lunch. First, one of those assemble-your-own caesar salad packs (AU$4.48), which came with prewashed lettuce and little packets of dressing, grated parmesan and croutons. No bacon bits (normally these are crispy bacon-flavoured *bits* that have no real bacon whatsoever in t…
