DinnerJac made patties using tinned salmon and mashed potato. She served them with steamed broccoli and carrot. I ate my salmon patties with tomato sauce. BentoJac had made some mini salmon patties specially for the next day’s bento. I packed us mini patties with little containers of Newman’s Own Southwest Dressing as dip, potato salad,…
I’m sure my friend C won’t be offended that I’ve called this post “breakfast of gluttons”! We know what we are, after all! :-D We met up at Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St – Cnr Plain St, next to The Royal pub) to start our day with a hearty feed. C had […]
Last Friday I planned to have lunch with my workmates. But I packed Jac a bento box anyway. She asked if I could pack her a smoked salmon lunch. No problem! I don’t usually wear gloves (you know, like proper lunch ladies wear!) when I pack our lunches but I did this time, as I […]
I mentioned sometime ago that I want to try and eat more healthy lunches. Last week, I bought a bag of washed rocket (also known as arugula) and spinach leaves, and with a few other bits and pieces and a little help from Jac, TFP was eating healthier lunches! Monday – Jac made some salmon […]
Back in early December when we talked about what we wanted to do on our holiday, Jac suggested we spend a weekend in Newcastle, since I’ve never been there. Although we were both really looking forward to spending time with the girls at Nelson Bay, the idea of going off on our own for a […]
I’m sure Leika would approve of a nice piece of fish, so here goes! For dinner last night, Jac panfried salmon fillets until they had a delicious crispy crust. I assembled the salad (lettuce, cucumber, baby roma tomatoes, so lovely and fresh) and fruit (orange – so juicy! – and apple) on the plate. The […]
Jac left this morning to go to Brisbane. She will be attending a conference from Monday to Wednesday, and will then stay with her cousin who lives on the Sunshine Coast, returning home late next Sunday night. When certain friends and family hear Jac’s going to be away for an extended period of time, they […]
Since neither of us gets back to work (well work for Jac, back to thesis/uni for me) until Monday, we decided to go shopping again for bookshelves on Friday. We’d made a number of unsuccessful shopping excursions on previous occasions, but just couldn’t seem to find the right bookshelves to buy. We ended up going […]
It’s been a horrendous week. Too much stuff to do, not enough time to do it in. I won’t bore you with the details. Jac made a delicious saucy stir-fry at the beginning of the week. She marinated the beef in corn flour and chinese rice wine. She stir-fried it with red capsicum, mushrooms and […]
