Jac said she had a craving for my corned beef, egg and rice dish, so I made it for dinner. I always call it “corned beef, egg and rice” because that’s what the dish started out as, but somewhere along the way in the 16 or so years I’ve been cooking this dish for myself […]
Jac made laksa recently, and it was magnificent! She used Chilliz brand laksa paste and tinned coconut cream (she likes a richer, thicker, more “lemak” laksa broth). I prepared the egg noodles and rice noodles and helped assemble the bits and pieces in the bowls while Jac tended to the pot of laksa broth bubbling […]
The pork and leek sausages and chicken kebabs stretched to another dinner and bento! DinnerJac sliced up the last of the leftover pork and leek sausages and took the last bits of chicken kebab off the skewers. She baked them in an oven dish with chicken drumsticks marinated in sweet soy. She referred affectionately to […]
I packed us deluxe sandwich bento for lunch the next day. This is my own terminology – sandwich bento is just sandwiches; deluxe sandwich bento comes with extra bits and pieces in different compartments. :D Today’s deluxe sandwich bento consisted of sandwiches, leftover fried onions and mushrooms, and fresh cubes of watermelon (with ani…
Jac cooked up pork and leek sausages and some honey and soy chicken kebabs, all bought from the supermarket. The kebabs looked very black and I feared they were burnt – but they tasted great! Jac also fried up onions and mushrooms. She toasted bread rolls and I buttered them. We piled onions, mushrooms and […]
We went to Canning Vale Markets recently and enjoyed a spot of brunch at the Market City Cafe. I had a small asian combination (AU$7.50), of fried rice, thai green curry chicken and stir-fried chicken noodles. This was great! The curry was especially tasty – lots of chicken, all succulent thigh pieces. Jac ordered “Don’s [……
They’re savoury, they’re chickeny, they’re crunchy, they taste great with tomato sauce, they make me happy. That’s all.
Jac asked me what I felt like eating for dinner, and I told her pasta bolognese. She said that was what she’d cook. For the next little while, we were each in our favourite rooms in the house – she, in the kitchen, cooking. Me, in my study on the computer. Some time later, she […]
Another dinner at the International Eating House in East Victoria Park. We started with a plate of crispy spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce. Jac ordered a salmon sashimi set from the Japanese stall. The set included salmon, salad, rice, miso soup and a bowl of dipping sauce. It’s extremely good value at AU$6.50! […]
Jac panfried chicken thighs seasoned with salt and pepper so I could use them for bento. I packed us some bread and butter, leftover potato salad, and made a quick salad of cos lettuce, carrot, cucumber, snow peas and pickles. Of course, I had to include a little note for Jac in her lunch box. […]
