My sister and her hubby came to visit from Sydney – which meant FAMILY FEAST! We all got together at my parents’ home for some serious eating. Mum made a hantu curry with pork belly and green beans. You are supposed to use snake beans in this dish, but the snake beans were really expensive […]
Last Saturday was my first morning alone with Jac away in Sydney. I woke up around 7:30am, which for me is a sleep-in :). I had a cuppa, wrote a few emails, showered, got dressed and caught the train to visit my parents. I’d promised to help them choose and buy new mobile phones. The […]
There was a farewell and engagement celebration afternoon tea at work last Friday afternoon. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: these morning and afternoon teas are the best and worst things about working in an office. Best if you love food, worst if you’re trying not to put on weight. Overall, worst […]
I didn’t bring lunch on Tuesday because we were going out to celebrate JC’s birthday. But the feasting began before lunch, with a delicious morning tea JC brought in for everyone. She’d made this Tim Tam cheesecake (read about Tim Tams at the manufacturer’s site and Wikipedia entry). She was very apologetic about the brown […
I had dinner with a colleague and friend, V, last Thursday evening. We went to The Royal (Corner Plain and Royal Streets, East Perth). I’m actually quite surprised we found time to eat that night, as we just talked and talked and talked and talked! Although we’ve worked under the same roof within sight of […]
One of the best things about working in an office is the occasional indulgent morning tea. The birthday morning tea, the “welcome!” morning tea, the farewell morning tea. How about this? A glistening berry-crowned cheesecake, almost too beautiful to cut. Juicy shiny berries fighting gravity, piled on top of soft smooth cheesecake sittin…
On Friday 28/12/2007 L, Jac and I took a ferry to Tea Gardens (I’m not even going to attempt to describe the geographical location of Tea Gardens – I’d recommend you see the Google Map here, and check out the Tea Gardens website for further info). D stayed home – she’s training to become a […]
We had afternoon tea on Friday to farewell S and also to celebrate R’s birthday. R brought along two cakes to share. First was this fruits of the forest cheese cake, purchased from Fresh Provisions in Mount Lawley. That’s a lot of cream, eh? The berry jelly glaze on the cheese cake as well as […]
We all enjoyed the savoury dishes but I think we were all even more impressed with the wide selection of desserts on offer. I took most of these photos as soon as we arrived, before most of the other diners began moving in on the buffet. Individual pavlovas, topped with real cream, kiwi fruit and […]
Sweets After the main course, Mum thought it would be good to go for a walk before dessert, and so there was a mass exodus as almost everyone took off down the street. I stayed behind to hang out with Grandma (I’d already exercised for 45 minutes in the morning, so I figured it was […]
