We had Jac’s mum Pattycakes over for an early Mothers Day breakfast on the 4th of May. We planned three courses – fruit to start, followed by a fry-up and then waffles to finish. While Jac cooked mushrooms and chipolatas for the fry-up course, I got to work assembling the fruit platter. There’s something really […]
As I mentioned recently, I was interviewed by Cellobella recently over breakfast at the Subiaco Hotel last Saturday. Over the time I’ve been blogging, I’ve met and become good mates with a few bloggers – funnily enough (you’ll probably not be at all surprised), we always met up over a meal! Prior to the event […]
I hope these photos will meet with your expectations after my sizzling steak video teaser! :) We celebrated Jac’s brother B’s birthday with a barbecue dinner on Sunday. Our contribution to the meal was a batch of Chinese meatballs. Well – Jac did all the work, really. All I did was read her the list […]
We didn’t have a birthday cake, but after the dinner dishes had been cleared, Juji brought out a tiramisu she’d made (one of Mark’s favourite desserts) – and we all sang happy birthday. Obviously we didn’t bother with candles! The tiramisu was gorgeous. The coffee flavour was just perfect. I had intended to just have […
First, breakfast: bacon and eggs, mushrooms and more of our homegrown tomatoes. We’ll probably eat the last of the tomato crop this week or the next. I’ve really enjoyed them. The bacon was “short cut” – quite lean, but very nice. For fry-ups, Jac likes her eggs over easy. Today she had just one egg. […]
Very simple – stir-fried chicken and vegies, flavoured with Asia At Home brand szechuan stir-fry sauce, served on rice. Also very simple – a selection of fruits for sweets. In the photo between the banana and dried apricots (which are next to the apple slices) you’ll see a little dark pile of prunes… lovely moist, […]
Still getting to know the new camera. A snack of ovenbaked marinated chicken wings, with fresh cucumber, grape tomatoes and aioli for dipping. Chicken Tonight – creamy mushroom flavour, with added fresh mushrooms and broccoli, with mashed potatoes and orange mash (sweet potato and carrot). A fruit platter, with oranges, apples, strawberries, …
These photos are from a family breaky last Sunday at my parents’ home. There was plenty of fruit, which was great for Jac as she is still eating a low-fat diet as she awaits her surgery (due to take place on Tuesday). Mum and Dad made a big batch of donuts using their donut maker, […]
I’ve uploaded 293 photos to a Flickr set called Xmas in Dunsborough, 2006. Friends and family can see lots of people photos there. Everyone else can see food, animal and landscape shots. These next few posts about Christmas at Dunsborough will feature selected shots from that set. We left for Dunsborough early on Christmas morning, […]
Christmas Day was fun and delicious. As I said in an earlier post, it promised to be a real meatfest. Although I have definite carnivorous tendencies, I would have been just as happy with two kinds of meat. Still, I appreciated all the meat on offer. Jac carved the meat. Here’s the sliced turkey thigh […]
