Jac made this dish to use up the sundried tomato mustard we had in the fridge. Not really a recipe, but here goes: Sundried tomato mustard and sriracha chicken Approximately 85 grams, which is roughly half a jar, of Masterfoods sundried tomato mustard A dessert spoon or so of sriracha chilli sauce 2 tsp olive […]
I had a craving for minchee during the week before Christmas. We didn’t have any pork mince in the freezer, so we used turkey mince instead. Well, it did seem appropriate, with Christmas coming and all. :) In this turkey version, the mince turned out looking quite wormy, but it’s just the way it came […]
Hi guys! I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas. I’ve taken loads of photos over the past few days! My sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay came over for dinner on Christmas eve. Since we knew we’d be consuming lashings of ham, turkey and other meats the next day, we decided to have a seafood […]
Last Tuesday night Jac made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. She made the meatballs from scratch but used a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce (not enough time after work to make meatballs AND sauce – hey, I’m not complaining!). I am just amazed and grateful that anyone would come home after working all day and […]

Jac likes to cook up a big breakfast on Sunday mornings. This was last Sunday’s fry-up. Pork chipolatas, tomatoes, button mushrooms and eggs. She cooked the mushrooms with butter and a couple of whole garlic cloves. Jac’s plate, with her egg over easy. You may have noticed she’s removed the skin from her tomatoes. She […]
Last Sunday Jac made turkey meatballs, two ways. The first batch were eaten with large spiral pasta in a tomato sauce with mushrooms, peas and carrots in it. I’ve mentioned before that Jac likes to sneak in as many vegetables as she can when she makes a pasta sauce. She still thinks she has trick […]
We ate the last of the Nandos chicken with fresh spinach, grape tomatoes and mushrooms, and Jac made a pasta salad. As you can see, there wasn’t a lot of chicken on my plate. We’d eaten almost half a chicken each, so there wasn’t much left over for the next day! I loved the pasta […]

Here’s the recipe: Garlic butter 200 grams of unsalted butter, softened 4 plump cloves’ worth of chopped garlic 2 teaspoons of chopped parsley Leave the butter out of the fridge for a few […]
