This was barramundi, bought frozen and cooked to perfection by Jac. She panfried the fish pieces in olive oil with a little butter so they had just a hint of a crispy crust on the outside. The flesh was delicate, moist and sweet. Initially, I didn’t think I’d want to eat so much salad, but […]
Panfried fish, salad and leftover KFC coleslaw. When we have KFC for dinner, we stretch it out for days afterwards, whether it’s cold KFC eaten straight out of the fridge (that’s my favourite way to munch on leftover KFC), KFC sandwiches (Jac’s favourite way) or simply coleslaw eaten as a side dish with “real” food. [&…
I’m now up to the posts written since Jac returned from her trip. This was the first dinner she cooked the day after she got home. She cooked vegetable spiral pasta with tomatoes, beans and peas, and served it with fish pieces seasoned in flour, salt and pepper and a little “Kentucky” seasoning (see this […]
Workmate J and I offered to pick up takeaway lunch from Basil Leaves for whoever in the team fancied Thai for lunch. All meals were AU$10.50 each. J and R both got the green curry chicken and rice. J had enjoyed the green curry so much at our lunch the week before that she was […]
After enjoying the Japanese curry with chicken katsu (see my recent post about my first taste of Japanese curry), I was keen to try the curry with fish katsu. I reckon this was even better than the chicken – both are very tasty, but the chicken was somewhat drier than the fish. I am definitely […]
I’m not sure what fish this was, but it was meaty and delicious. Jac seasoned it with “alseason” and baked it in the oven with mushrooms and tomatoes. She served the fish with vegetables – steamed cauliflower and broccoli, and vegetable medley of carrot, peas and corn. I really enjoyed this meal, not just because […]
The dinner Jac panfried Nile perch fillets and served them with salad. She bought the fish fillets frozen; they turned out lovely. This is another one of the meaty, white-fleshed fish I enjoy so much. The bento I woke on Monday morning to rumbling thunder and flashing lightning. I think a loud thunder crash woke […]
For a recent dinner, Jac cooked barramundi fillets in the oven. She seasoned the fish with salt and pepper, wrapped the fillets in foil with a little butter and topped them with lemon wedges. She’d been craving a creamy vegetable dish, and made a cauliflower, broccoli and peas mornay. She stirred the vegetables through a […]
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 […]
On the Sunday after Christmas, Jac and I went out to lunch with our friend M (remember this delicious vegetarian barbecue?). We went to the Broken Hill Hotel (314 Albany Highway, Victoria Park). It’s a pub Jac’s wanted to check out for some time now – and I’m glad we did. Jac and M enjoyed […]
