Regular readers will know how much I love iced cinnamon buns. This was a particularly large one I enjoyed last month. It was so large it took me four goes to get through it all. I started at the beginning of my day, at around 8am, with my first cup of tea; I had some […]
A bento from a few weeks ago! Jac panfried four chicken thigh fillets which she’d simply rubbed in salt and pepper, and I packed us chicken and salad for lunch. The salad consisted of mixed greens, grape tomatoes, cucumber, green beans, mushrooms, sliced sweet gherkin pickles and corn kernels. I packed Kiri cream cheese in […]
I bought this lemon crumble muffin one morning on my way to work. It was very nice – in muffin itself there were streaks of tangy lemon curd, and there was sweet crumble peeping through the top of the muffin. But don’t you think the lumps of crumble make the muffin look kind of diseased? […]
This was a delicious dinner Jac cooked – chicken and mushroom casserole, made with chicken pieces, sliced potatoes and fresh button mushrooms, all baked in the oven. She served the casserole with corn kernels and peas. She’d left the chicken on the bone, and it was tender and flavoursome. I kept going back to the […]
A recent dinner, of panfried lemon pepper fish (snapper fillets, I believe) with steamed vegetables – carrot and cauliflower, and one of my least favourite – baby brussels sprouts!

My sister-in-law Ange (Zoe’s mum) had done some cooking, but family and friends brought along dishes too. It was quite a feast! Earlier, when I arrived at my parents’ home (I grabbed a […]
While Jac and Pixel were snuggled up and snoring peacefully in bed this morning, Billy Lee and I were up at 6am hanging out in my study. I sat on my chair, she sat in a box. Here she is with her version of “smell the fart acting“. :-P I’ve mentioned before to some of […]
A Sunday breakfast post on a Sunday morning! We had breakfast recently at Cafe Bella Rosa (897 Albany Highway, East Victoria Park). One of Jac’s hockey team mates loves this place, and we had an Entertainment Card discount for it, so we thought “Why not?” :) I’d just like to start by showing you a […]
Ever since my first Krispy Kreme donut, I’ve been wishing they’d open a store here in Perth. Well, someone’s decided to fill the glazed donut void with their own version – Dreamy Donuts. There’s a new Dreamy Donuts stand at Carousel Shopping Centre. They offer glazed and filled donuts that look very Krispy Kreme-esque …
