Jac and I hosted my family’s Christmas lunch this year. We got up bright and early to get ready for the day. 11-year-old Pixel watched suspiciously as I set the table (she’s not a fan of parties) while 1-year-old Truffle inspected everything with great fascination. Both cats fled and hid when everyone began to arrive. […]
I love Christmas ham! This time we enjoyed thick slices of ham lightly panfried, served with French toast and maple syrup. We had leftovers from two different Christmas hams this year, which we froze and then retrieved later. This was the ham from Christmas breakfast with my family. There really isn’t that much more to […]
This is the last of my Christmas 2009 posts! :D We ended up with leftover Christmas turkey, ham and prawns. We froze most of the ham but ate all the turkey and prawns over the next couple of days. This was my favourite dish cooked using the leftovers: a Christmas prawns and turkey noodle stir-fry. […]
Since there was sausage left over from breakfast and I had a rice craving, Jac made fried rice, with chopped up sausage, corn, peas and mushrooms, and a big handful of chopped fresh spring onion. She flavoured the rice with Maggi Seasoning (at the linked page, it’s called Maggi Liquid Seasoning, and it’s the second […]
A fantastic lunch I ate at work! Leftover pizza, homemade by Brad and Kelsie in their new pizza oven. Jac had been to their house for dinner the night before – I had some work to do and chose to stay home. When Jac came home, she carried with a plate of leftover pizza! So […]
The pork and leek sausages and chicken kebabs stretched to another dinner and bento! DinnerJac sliced up the last of the leftover pork and leek sausages and took the last bits of chicken kebab off the skewers. She baked them in an oven dish with chicken drumsticks marinated in sweet soy. She referred affectionately to […]
For dinner the next night I had the leftovers from the doggy bag we took home from Billy Lee’s Chinese Restaurant, with freshly cooked rice and a stir-fry of chicken, mushrooms and sugar snap peas. The stir-fry was flavoured with oyster sauce, sesame oil and white pepper. Jac threw in the leftover Billy Lee’s broccoli […]
My turkey thigh roast love continued the next morning, with three slices of turkey thigh roast and Heinz baked beans for breakfast. Delicious.
I love bento lunches featuring leftover roast meat and vegetables (see previous post Sunday lunch of two roast meats)! I packed us both the same lunch: roast pork with apple sauce, turkey thigh roast with cranberry sauce, roasted vegetables, crackling, steamed green beans and broccoli, and a little container of gravy. This was Jac’s lunch, [&…
A bento lunch I packed for myself – leftover barbecue chicken with salad (lettuce, carrot sticks, corn kernels, sweet gherkin pickle slices, red seedless grapes and the last of the corn kernels), Kewpie mayonnaise in a bear head-shaped container, and French toast squares. I didn’t pack any maple syrup to go with these French toast [&hel…
