A delicious dinner cooked by Jac: panfried turkey breast steaks served with two salads, coleslaw, and watermelon, white onion and mint salad. Regular readers will know that when it comes to chicken and turkey I prefer dark meat (thigh, drumstick) to white meat (breast) – but these turkey breast steaks were surprisingly succulent and tender. […
We had friends over for dinner. Jac bought marinated lamb ribs to serve for a starter. Here they are in the oven tray ready for cooking. Lamb ribs on a bed of greens, served as a shared starter. The ribs hadn’t looked like they had much meat on them, but I was wrong, they were […]
On a recent Sunday night, we had panfried swordfish steaks with coleslaw with mixed lettuce and grape tomatoes. I took this opportunity to try out the lemon myrtle dressing we got for Christmas – I’d never tried lemon myrtle before. It was yummy! Surprisingly tangy and really quite delicious! Jac loved it too. It went […]
Not surprisingly, I used leftovers from Saturday’s big lunch in our bento boxes on Monday. I packed us both fried chicken, salad (including baby roma tomatoes, cucumber, mixed salads, mushroom and carrot sticks), a little coleslaw, and fresh fruit (watermelon and strawberries). These new sauce/mayo containers came from JBox. I filled them wit…
We bought a couple of ham steaks recently, and Jac asked me what I’d like to eat with them. I said I’d love grilled pineapple rings and coleslaw. Of course this was no problem at all for Jac to do. :) This was the coleslaw Jac had made on Sunday afternoon. I may have mentioned […]
I packed the panfried lemon chicken strips and coleslaw Jac cooked the day before in our bento boxes on Monday. This was my bento box: To go with the chicken and coleslaw, I threw together quick salad. Here’s Jac’s bento box: I really can’t recommend this chicken recipe enough. It’s simple to prepare, and really […]
Jac and her mum were originally supposed to go on a road trip together over the Easter long weekend to see her brother B, his partner K and their kids in Kalgoorlie, but there were a few unforeseen technical complications which made this impossible (long story, I won’t elaborate further). And after many alternative Plans […]
[Chronologically, this post and Parts 2 and 3 should also come before the Monday post] On Sunday, we celebrated Jac’s niece Savannah’s 8th birthday. In the afternoon, Savannah and her school friends went on a limo party, with Jac as chaperone. We’d never heard of a limo party before this – basically, the girls got […]
Friday night dinner was roast chicken, roast potato and coleslaw. Jac made the coleslaw, with Kraft coleslaw dressing. The chicken was rubbed in barbecue marinade powder and then roasted. The potatoes were cut in half and roasted under the chicken, which sat on a metal rack so that its juices and fat could drip down […]
