Eating out has left me a little cranky lately. Last weekend, we grabbed a bite to eat at Xquisito, at the Carousel Shopping Centre food hall. It was late morning – brunching time – Jac ordered chicken nachos, I ordered a 3-stack of breakfast hotcakes. Now, this is how I would’ve prepared the meals which […]
Monday – SRM and I grabbed takeaway from Sushi @ Royal (Shop 2, 131 Royal St). SRM had chicken and avocado uramaki (inside-out sushi) with a little seaweed salad on the side. I had tamago (omelette) and cucumber sushi with a tuna chef’s salad. The salad was delicious but I was a little disappointed with […]
It’s been a while since I made one of my variations of SPAM fried rice. On Friday night last week I felt compelled to cook up a batch. On this occasion: cubes of SPAM fried in the wok until their edges were browned and crisp, sliced snow peas (my first preference for the vegies in […]
Last Sunday evening, Jac made up a batch of meatballs using beef mince, garlic, onion and chopped carrot and celery. She panfried them until golden brown – they smelled absolutely mouth watering. You can see all the vegies in the raw meatballs pictured below. For dinner the following night we had the meatballs with linguine […]
We recently tried a couple of Dominos new pizzas. We had a coupon for two pizzas and a garlic bread delivered, and so we each chose a pizza. Jac’s choice was the Russian on Classic crust. The pizza is topped with special tomato sauce, extra mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, capsicum, onion, mushroom, shredded cotto, fresh tomato […]
Last Sunday, Jac and I went out for a slightly belated birthday breakfast. She left the choice of where we went up to me, and I chose the Sheraton Hotel, where they serve a full breakfast buffet. I’d chosen the Sheraton because 1) I love hotel buffet breakfasts (especially at a 5-star hotel!) and 2) […]
Last weekend, we went to the shops on Saturday morning. We stopped for a burger brunch at Leonardo’s. Jac had the BELT (AU$11.95) – bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato in a fresh bread roll, served with Supacrunch chips. I had the Hawaiian burger (AU$11.95) – with a beef pattie, loads of bacon, pineapple, lettuce and […]
Quite a few people emailed and left comments asking about Jac’s creamy mushroom sauce which we had with T-bone steaks recently. There wasn’t a recipe as such – Jac made it up on the night using whatever was in the fridge and pantry. But I asked if she’d jot it all down for you guys, […]
Here are last week’s lunches! Monday – SRM, Chad and I got takeaway from Sushi @ Royal (Shop 2, 131 Royal St). SRM had fish katsu (AU$8.00). Chad had the agedashi tofu (AU$7.00). The sauce was packed in a separate container so that the battered tofu wouldn’t be soggified during the takeaway journey. Back at […]
From last week, Monday – imported frozen basa fillets, seasoned and panfried, served with steamed cabbage and broccoli, corn on the cob, orange mash (cooked carrot and sweet potato seasoned and then mashed with butter) and Ainsley Harriot “Moroccan Medley” instant cous cous. Jac didn’t like the cous cous at all. I didn’…
