It’s great that our new address is not far from the old one, because it means we can get Chinese home delivery from the same place we’ve been getting it from for over ten years! This time, six dishes. First: hokkien noodles. Not as saucy as I would like, and too much beef for my […]
Jac and I went to Sizzler for breakfast with her family to celebrate her niece Savannah’s birthday. The last time we had breakfast at Sizzler, we were presented with plates of complimentary cheese toast as soon as we sat down. Back then I was a little surprised to get cheese toast at breakfast – I […]
As I put away the leftovers from our family dinner I packed the next day’s lunch for Jac and me. There were three chicken skewers left; I pulled the meat off the skewers and divided it between two lunch boxes. I added lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, sliced sweet gherkin pickles, tasty cheese and asparagus. […]
Jac’s brother Jon was over from Sydney and we had a family dinner, the first one held at our new house. We served nibblies out on the patio. The sun was setting when I took this photo – it wasn’t quite dark enough to turn the lights on, but I guess I should’ve for better […]
On a Wednesday night a few weeks ago, Jac went out to dinner with her hockey team mates. Since I knew I’d be too lazy to cook dinner for myself, I stopped by Noodlebox on my way home and picked up a regular (big) box of Design Your Own noodles. It was my usual combo: […]
Grilled snapper fillets, microwaved-steamed potatoes and salad (lettuce, cucumber, grape tomatoes, corn). The parsley garnish was immediately removed and placed on Jac’s plate after I photographed my dinner. :-P Jac seasoned the fish with salt and pepper, topped each piece with a little butter and placed them under the grill. She’s stil…
A fantastic lunch I ate at work! Leftover pizza, homemade by Brad and Kelsie in their new pizza oven. Jac had been to their house for dinner the night before – I had some work to do and chose to stay home. When Jac came home, she carried with a plate of leftover pizza! So […]
Jac bought a barbecue chicken from Woolworths, the kind that comes seasoned in the bag and ready to cook in the microwave or conventional oven. I was pleased to discover it came with stuffing too! She cooked it in the oven and chicken turned out moist and tender and fell off the bone. Jac served […]
Pixel’s new favourite spot is sitting in pot plant #2 on the patio. She sits or sleeps there for hours. While Pixel soaks up the sunshine, Billy Lee is quite happy in the house just rolling around on the cool tiled floor.
Sunday breakfast on our patio! We never had a patio at the old house. Well, we planned to build one but never got around to it (when we sold the house, it was still patio-less). As you can see, someone had a full breakfast fry-up, and someone else had a toasted sandwich. I’m sure it’s […]
