It had been a tough night of packing, with plenty of perspiration and a few short tempered moments (I can be quite a spitfire, you know! LOL). Cooking dinner was out of the question – enter Dominos pizza! I think it saved the marriage that evening! :D We ordered two pizzas plus a couple of […]
On the night we got the keys, we spent some time just walking around in the empty house, excited and amazed that this was really going to be our new home. We made plans – things to do leading up to the move – and lists of things we needed to get for the house. […]
Jac baked chicken schnitzels in the oven, along with potato wedges, butternut pumpkin and carrot. She blanched some broccoli and panfried mushrooms with butter and garlic. It was a tasty dinner. The chicken was crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. I loved the whole garlic cloves Jac cooked with the mushrooms […]
Another day, another Design Your Own Noodlebox! It’s been the same design every time in the past few weeks: thick egg noodles with chicken, tofu, egg, bok choy and fish cake, stir-fried in oyster sauce. I’ve been getting the regular (big) sized noodle box – it’s a hefty deliciously satisfying feed! Workmate J got herself [&h…
I can’t believe I forgot to post this! :-O That same day, before our fabulous birthday feast of finger foods, Jac and I attended breakfast at my parents’ home to celebrate my Mum’s birthday! Yes, it was a big day of eating! :D We didn’t need lunch that day! When Jac and I walked in, […]

Panfried john dory filets that have been coated in seasoned flour and just a little tumeric (hence the yellowness), with ovenfried chips and green salad with mushrooms. This was good good good!
A work lunch, chicken schnitzel burger from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth). A deep-fried crispy chicken schnitzel, lettuce and mayonnaise in a bun. The burger is wrapped in paper and put in a paper bag that smells wonderful and feels toasty warm in my hands as I walk back to the […]
A simple meal: BBQ chicken bought from the supermarket (I had the thigh and drumstick, of course), baked beans and freshly cooked rice. My supermarket BBQ chook gripe You know something I dislike about those BBQ chooks you buy from the supermarket? Sometimes the drumsticks have been tied together using a rubber band. I really […]
The ugliest Chicken McNuggets ever. They looked old and crusty and kind of weather-beaten. Surprisingly, they tasted great – and I ate them all, though not in one sitting (this was a 10-pack). Chicken Treat Westcoast Fried Chicken with chips – fried chicken from Chicken Treat sounded like a great idea! The chicken was succulent [&hellip…
