This is the meal Jac made for my dinner last night: sausages, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms. The sausages were low-fat beef ones, with a surprisingly really meaty texture. The eggs were homelaid ones that Jac’s mum sent over – our chooks are still living it up at her place. I usually like my eggs […]
Sorry for the lack of posting. I’ve been getting home after 7pm and have just been too tired to bother turning the computer on. I’ve been just eating dinner and then sinking into bed. I have a huge blister on my left heel and I’ve pulled my right calf muscle again (not complaining, just telling […]
I wrote this last night, but my internet wasn’t working, so I couldn’t post it. 31,065 steps today. My legs felt very tired in bed last night, and they were felt damned heavy as I trudged up and down stairs and hills as I walked around campus to do the auditing.

See, I told you (as I wrote the post about the fried rice) that Jac was making roast chicken for dinner. She seasoned the chook with lemon pepper and made stuffing with garlic and onions.

The icing is coffee-flavoured, with chocolate shavings. Here’s a closer look at the cake. And of course, the cake with candles: A satisfyingly lovely thick layer of coffee […]
We celebrated my brother and youngest sister’s birthdays today with lunch at my parents’ house. The main course, made by Mum and the birthday girl, was a dish called “Sunday Dolmades”. It consists of “forcemeat” (fancy name for meatballs made with mince and finely chopped mushrooms), wrapped in bacon and baked in…
Last night, Jac planned to cook roast chicken and vegetables, but I was really craving fried rice. This version had SPAM, champignons, green beans, chicken mince, onion and garlic (both slivered and chopped, of course). It was flavoured with cracked black pepper, light soy and dark soy sauce, and finished off with a couple of […]
Oh yes… and yesterday I bought The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir from Elizabeth’s. I’ve always been intrigued by the history of the British monarchs, especially during the times when beheading and other gory forms of execution were used. The story of the House of Tudor, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I are […]
