On Friday night of the week just gone, I baked a batch of triple chocolate mini muffins for Jac’s friends – we were going to the annual Christmas barbecue/get-together on Saturday night. I’d baked these muffins before, and I made them just the same this time round: the muffins were chocolate-flavoured, with choc chips and [&hellip…
This was dinner, 5/12/2005. Jac made a big pot of beef stew with potatoes, carrots, celery, peas and onions. We ate bowlfuls (well, I had two bowls, Jac had one) with slices of fresh crusty bread. Sorry I haven’t been posting. There’s been a lot of crap going on, some of which I can’t write […]
More from Mum, emailed Sunday arvo 5th December 2005… We’ve had so much food (and such a lot of variety) since my last email it is unbelievable! I was telling Aunt T about how you, tfp, take photos of whatever food we eat at our get-togethers, etc and she said it was a pity we […]
Oh yeah, I forgot to post Friday night’s dinner: marinated panfried pork steak with stir-fried vegetables and rice. Jac marinated the pork sometime ago with soy sauces and fresh red chillies- it had been sitting in the freezer getting tastier and tastier.
Having worked from home all week I was well and truly suffering from cabin fever, so I decided to spend some time at our local shopping centre yesterday morning. I was all set to order a serve of chicken karaage with barbecue sauce and baby mayo from the Japanese place, but most disappointingly, the pieces […]
Mum’s foodie excerpts from Malaysia No.2, Friday, 2nd December. As you can see, the food consumption has truly accelerated! I’m so jealous! Already we have had our typical Malay nasi lemak with beef rendang and sambal sotong, popiah, pork ball soup, goreng pisang, peanut-sugar pancake, fresh coconut water out of the whole fruit, and las…
My parents are currently on holiday in Malaysia, visiting friends, playing tourist and eating lots of delicious food. Mum’s sent us a couple of emails since they arrived at midnight Thursday morning. Not surprisingly, a significant portion of the emails’ content is about the food they are eating over there. I thought my readers would [&…
We’ve had these four over-ripe bananas sitting in the bowl, getting blacker and blacker. I decided last night to do some baking with them before they became completely inedible. I baked a batch of banana mini muffins. I threw in half a cup of sultanas in the mix, and made half of them banana, sultana […]
Dinner last night was flat rice noodles stir-fried with garlic tofu (that tofu is one of the most delicious things I’ve eaten this year! Must remember to ask Jac where she bought it from), chicken, green beans, carrots, chives, and mung bean sprouts, flavoured with pad thai sauce out of a jar. We topped it […]
I’ve been working from home this week, writing the latest chapter. Today, Jac rang to say she would pick up a couple of lunch bar burgers and head home to have lunch with me. How nice! She brought home a hamburger, just simple: meat pattie, lettuce, tomato, onion and loads of barbecue sauce… …and a […]
