This is one of my favourite snacks: a hard-boiled egg with soy sauce and black pepper. It’s a great little snack when I’m feeling a peckish and craving a little something savoury. This can be at any time, really – morning, afternoon or night! Sometimes I eat a hot egg, freshly hard-boiled; sometimes I’ll eat […]
Jac went on a picnic with her niece and nephew and her mum Pattycakes recently. Jac told them she’d bring all the food, and she had great fun preparing and packing it. She packed a container full of protein – homemade beef meatballs, chicken chipolatas, sliced ham and hard-boiled eggs, with a small container of […]
We found ourselves in Fremantle in search of somewhere to have dinner. We’d attended a book launch straight after work and were pretty hungry afterwards (despite me munching on the various nibblies on that were on offer). We wandered up and down Market Street and finally wandered over to Portorosa Cafe. Thankfully, irritation can’t spoi…
Jac recently made a dairy-free French onion dip using Tofutti dairy-free cream cheese. The label on the Tofutti cream cheese container proclaims: No dairy, no butterfat and no cholesterol. I was a little skeptical as I tend to be when foods claim to be low in fat but great-tasting – how good would it really […]
My sister Juji told me about That Little Mexican Place in North Perth ages ago and we haven’t gotten around to checking it out. But when we heard that a new That Little Mexican Place had opened up in Victoria Park, closer to our neck of the woods, we decided to get off our lazy […]
I mentioned recently that Jac’s discovered the joys of baking. She’s been going through our cook books to find recipes for biscuits (cookies) and slices (bars) to bake. She’s been saying we should get a mixer so we can make cakes and breads and everything else more quickly/easily. Sounds good to me – wonder if […]
Workmate J and I decided we’d go to 88 Royal lunch bar to get lunch, since we hadn’t been for a while. As we walked on the 88 Royal side of Royal Street, a man walked in front of us, swaying and staggering, turning around to look at us every now and then. We couldn’t […]
I love mini burgers like the sliders we ate at Sizzler recently, but I love a big juicy burger too. Jac made us burgers for a recent Saturday lunch. They were pretty simple, but really delicious. For me, a chicken burger. It was a juicy chicken thigh fillet rubbed with salt and pepper then panfried, […]
We’ve been seeing these ads on TV about Sizzler’s new slider burgers. You get two in a serve at lunch time, four at dinner time. I love burgers and I love little foods, so naturally the idea of mini burgers is very appealing to me. As it so happened on a recent Wednesday evening as […]
This was the plan: Jac would get up early on Saturday morning and go to work for an hour or so. I’d stay in bed and keep sleeping. When Jac got home, she would cook breakfast and we would eat together. A fine plan, I thought. :) I’m usually terrible at sleeping in on weekends […]
