I just love the Melbourne Cup. I’m not into going to the races all tarted dressed up wearing ridiculous looking hats and drinking too much champagne (and spending too much money!). But I love watching the race on the telly and trying to pick the winner. In the couple of weeks leading up the big […]
I didn’t take photos of my meals today. I had a chicken pie for breakfast (see previous post “I love a pie for breakfast”), and char kway teow just like this for lunch. I’ll be working from home tomorrow because a fridge guy is coming over to reseal the bar fridge sometime between 9 and […]
I really hate having lots of dishes to wash, and so I tend to go for one-pot/one-wok/one-pan meals. For dinner tonight I stir-fried lettuce, green beans, baby corn, onion and garlic with light and dark soy sauce. I threw in the fried tomato and bacon leftover from breakfast, which I chopped up into bite-sized pieces. […]
I woke up craving a cooked breakfast, so I got out of bed and got cracking. I scrambled my eggs with plenty of butter with my right hand… …and fried the bacon and tomato with my left hand (note: there’s more bacon and tomato here than I ate for breakfast. I’ll be using them later […]
I was too lazy to cook last night, so I decided to have an old favourite, a tin of Heinz “Big Eat” Ravioli Bolognese. Of course, if you’re anti-tinned meals you’ll absolutely hate it. But if you like tinned meals, this one is pretty good. The sauce is really quite tasty and meaty. I have […]
Mooiness and others who have asked how I will survive without Jac to cook for me for over three weeks, have no fear! Here’s my dinner from last night, a sloppy sort of fried rice with chicken mince, baby corn, green beans, tomato, champignons, onion, garlic and egg. The chicken mince had been seasoned and […]
Happy Birthday Kiri! I couldn’t get the cats to dress up for your party, but here’s the next closest thing! Our babies don’t do costumes or clothes, but they like to sit in things, so these will have to do as “dressing up”! Pixel has always enjoyed sitting in things. Here she is, as a […]
Scrappy was rescued by PM’s husband from a car that was just moments away from being crushed at the scrap metal yard. When he was found, he was mewing as loud as he could, all covered in petrol. Scrappy is too little to be left alone at home by himself, so PM brings him with […]
On Wednesday last week, I went along to the postgraduate students association AGM/BBQ. It was well-organised. There were b0wls of chips to nibble on, carrot sticks and dips, and everyone got a drink voucher to redeem at the bar next door. Most people got a glass of wine or a beer with theirs, but I […]
Where’s the food?! I hear you ask. Well, it’s a-comin’. But I have a couple more bits of comfort shopping to write about. I mentioned in one of the previous posts that my crappy Microsoft basic optical mouse will be replaced by something. I’m very excited about this! It’s definitely another jackdaw thing. Read more [&h…
