I love eating a pie for breakfast. Especially a pie fresh from a real bakery. Whenever we go away, I always make sure I familiarise myself with the local bakery of whatever town we’re staying at. I highly recommend the Miami Bakehouse at Mandurah, and the bakery at Ledge Point (town next to Lancelin). I […]
I forgot to tell you about this yummy chicken dish we had for dinner earlier this week. It’s from a book called The Fine Art of Chinese Cooking, by Dr. Lee Su Jan, published by Gramercy Publishing Company, New York (no date of publication). We found it at a swapmeet some time ago. From the […]
This evening I met Jac at her work. We had a nice walk and got dinner. She opted for a mixed sushi plate. Starting from the yellow one, moving clockwise: omelette, tuna, vegetarian, california roll, caviar, octopus, eel, prawn, salmon x 4. In the centre, a wee cat poo-style piping of wasabi. This came with […]
Now that the date has been set for Computer Building Day (the public holiday coming up on the 26th September – my brother and I are both very busy people!), I’ve ordered one more part for the computer – a new case! After much um-ing and ah-ing and lots of research (I stole some time […]
We all ordered the same! See, triplet lunches: We all had the grilled snapper fillet with chargrilled courgette, served on seeded mustard mashed potato. The ring of yellow and black that you can see is olive oil with drops of (apparently) a balsamic vinegar reduction (hoity toity!) that was very sweet and syrupy (reminded me […]
Today Jac and I, and our friend Michaela went to visit another friend in hospital. On the way back (like, 2:15/2:30pm) we had a very late lunch at our favourite asian food hall. Michaela’s lunch: chinese combination. I forgot to ask her what dishes she had, but I can see sweet and sour something, satay, […]
What an exciting match tonight! I listened to the final quarter on the radio, and it was so damn good I had to watch it on the telly (delayed telecast) afterwards. I had to see Nick Davis’ final goal that stole victory for the Swans with just seconds to spare. And ok, I admit, I […]
Tonight’s dinner: stir-fried soyaroni with chicken, swiss brown mushrooms and broccoli. Flavoured with onion, garlic, salt-reduced Kikkoman soy sauce, a splash of dark soy and a drizzle of sesame oil. Jac ate hers with lots of pickled green chilli. I splashed more dark soy all over mine. I think Jac has finally been converted to […]
I think I’m coming down with something. I have a cough and a hanky full of blowings. I’ve been feeling crook for the past couple of days. I haven’t taken time off though – I’m still working on the current chapter. The thing is, I always seem to crave junk food when I’m not feeling […]
