Tuesday food – a bit of everything

Someone brought cinnamon donuts to work, and kindly shared them around… I had teriyaki fish and rice from Jaws Mint (opposite the Perth Mint) for lunch. As usual, I ignored the pile of pink pickled ginger in the corner. The fish pieces were on the thin side, but still tasty, with caramelised teriyaki saucy edges. […]

Bento – lamb meatballs with salad…and a new job!

My lunch is on the left, Jac’s is on the right – lamb meatballs and salad (mixed salad greens, blanched green beans, baby roma tomatoes and carrot sticks, with some green seedless grapes thrown in with the salad, and a container of aioli as dressing/dip for the vegies). You’ll probably notice that Jac only had […]

Lamb mince and spinach pasta

Jac made a delicious pasta sauce with tomato paste, lamb mince, mushrooms and spinach. She served it with pasta spirals. It was meaty and rich and lip-smackingly good. I loved the flavour of the lamb, and Jac left some of the mince quite chunky on purpose (yum!), but my favourite part of this sauce was […]

Jac chooses one pizza with Classic Crust; I choose the other pizza, always with Thin N Crispy crust. Here […]

Meat and salad, two ways

The first photo is of my workmate B’s lunch – there he sat at his desk, with a sausage roll, Greek salad and pasta salad on a plate in front of him. But something was missing. “I wish I had some tomato sauce,” he said. Guess who happens to keep a bottle of tomato sauce […]

Scrambled eggs on multigrain toast and the foods we miss

Looks like my old trick of starting a post about something and finishing with something else! Jac had an appointment with the doctor one morning recently and decided she’d have breakfast with me before dropping me off at work. We went to Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St, East Perth – next to […]

McMuffin in bed

“What shall we eat?” we asked each other, as we lay in bed on a Saturday morning. “I’d love a Sausage and Egg McMuffin,” I said, thinking about a rubbery, spicy sausage pattie with an overcooked fried egg and chewy melted orange cheese. “Well, let’s go then!” said Jac. We went through the McDonaldR…
