I made myself a very simple dinner last Saturday night – San Remo chicken and mushroom-filled fresh ravioli with a stir-through fresh tomato and garlic sauce. I simply boiled the pasta and added the sauce, which came in a conveniently microwavable container. I really love this ravioli. I can eat it just on its own, […]
Last Saturday was my first morning alone with Jac away in Sydney. I woke up around 7:30am, which for me is a sleep-in :). I had a cuppa, wrote a few emails, showered, got dressed and caught the train to visit my parents. I’d promised to help them choose and buy new mobile phones. The […]
On the night of Jac’s flight to Sydney, we grabbed a quick dinner at Nando’s because 1) neither of us felt like cooking and 2) Jac wanted to eat a fairly light meal – chicken and salad seemed like a good idea. She ordered the mediterranean chicken salad (AU$12.45), with the grilled chicken breast basted […]
Another recent brunch at Hungry Jack’s (known as Burger King outside of Australia – see Wikipedia entry for information about Burger King/Hungry Jack’s in Australia). A Bacon Deluxe meal for Jac, and a Crispy Chicken Wrap meal for me. Jac’s already drinking her Diet Coke, which is why it’s not pictured here. I really e…
Lunch last Friday: fried rice and chicken and vegetable stir-fry with satay sauce, from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth).
A recent takeaway dinner from Maya Masala – butter chicken and chicken biryani. There was enough for dinner and a small breakfast the next morning. Very tasty, both times! :)
Jac didn’t need a packed lunch last Thursday. I wasn’t going to bother with bento, but I couldn’t help myself – I packed myself lunch at the last minute: a hard-boiled egg, salad, mini jam sandwiches and papaya. The salad consisted of mixed salad greens, cucumber, mushroom, sugar snap peas, red capsicum and baby carrots. [&h…
We celebrated Jac’s niece Savannah’s birthday with a family dinner last Wednesday. Jac and I made savoury eggs (also known as devilled eggs), specially requested by the birthday girl herself. We weren’t able to get quail eggs this time, so we used ordinary chicken eggs. We ran out of curry powder, so the flavour of […]
Last Tuesday was Melbourne Cup day. Just like many other office people all over Australia that day, we had sweeps, watched the race and enjoyed a good lunch. This year, the team all chipped in for pizza and salad. J made the salad – English spinach, mixed salad greens, tomatoes and Greek feta, with a […]
I made us a sandwich bento for lunch last Monday. We had a barbecue chook to use up, so I made two variations of chicken and mayo mix. The sandwiches were (from left to right, and then, the sandwich that’s on top): Chicken and mayo mix #1 (chicken, mayo, tomato sauce, sundried tomato mustard) with […]
