Workmate J and I decided to try Cravings, the new cafe where Aroma used to be on Royal St in East Perth. She chose a roast chicken and salad roll, which looked pretty good. I chose their hot special of the day, chicken chasseur with rice. The chicken dish was delicious – it smelled like […]
Jac bought a meatloaf from the butcher at the Bentley Centre. I’ve been spoilt by Jac’s delicious homemade meatloaf, so I was sceptical – how good could a bought, pre-made meatloaf be? I was to be pleasantly surprised and very impressed! As she sliced the meatloaf, it looked and smelled unbelievable! I couldn’t wait to [&hel…
DinnerJac cooked this dinner, of rice with ginger chicken and green vegetables stir-fried with oyster sauce and garlic. The chicken pieces and carrot slices were tender, the onion sweet. The ginger sauce was delicious. After I took the photo I shifted items around on my plate so the rice could soak up as much of […]
Recently, I received a sample of Nestle’s new Carnation Soy Creamy Cooking Milk. It’s the only soy milk product in Australia designed for cooking, for use in both sweet and savoury dishes. Being specially designed for cooking, this soy milk won’t separate when heated (it’s so off-putting when that happens!). It’s lacto…
I love Kraft brand macaroni cheese, the kind that comes in a blue box off the supermarket shelf. Just cook the pasta, add milk, butter and the magic sachet of cheesey goodness, stir it all through and you’re all set! I discovered it when I was 18 years old after moving out of home – […]
Last month, we attended a 62nd birthday party at my brother’s place. It wasn’t really someone’s 62nd birthday – we were celebrating my brother’s 30th, his wife/my sister-in-law’s 30th and my niece Ruby’s 2nd birthday: 30 + 30 + 2 = 62! There was so much food at the party! These were brie and leek […]
A dinner of KFC Original Recipe (a drumstick and a thigh, of course! ^_^), chips, coleslaw and potato and gravy, eaten at the coffee table while watching cartoons on TV.
I posted a link on the TFP Facebook page to a news story – Nestle buyout kills iconic ice creams. I was devastated to find out that the Hazelnut Roll ice cream will no longer be available once the current stocks run out. I don’t eat a lot of ice cream, but there are two […]
Jac bought turkey bacon for a change, and fried it up with eggs for our breakfast. I had a couple of slices of turkey bacon with an egg (yep, over easy, also for a change – I usually have sunny side up), with two slices of fluffy fresh white bread, one spread thickly with kaya. […]
With the dishwasher installed, we threw the box in the recycling bin. All that was left was this old blanket, which the dishwasher installer man used to drag the dishwasher box across the kitchen floor. Pixel sat on the blanket for ages. With no more dishwasher box to sit on, Billy Lee just jumped right […]
