Jac fried sausages and onions and bought fresh bread rolls so that we could make our very own sausage sizzle at home for dinner. We’re big fans of fried onions and usually find that sausage sizzles are quite stingy with the onions, leaving us wishing for more. At home, Jac cooked up a big batch […]
Another dinner made by Jac – this time, linguine pasta with a tomato sauce loaded with Italian sausage and vegetables. She served it to me like this… …and I then mixed it through, so it looked like this! The crisp sugar snap peas and juicy mushrooms were great in the sauce. It was definitely the […]
I’ve said this before – when Jac makes bangers and mash (sausages with mashed potato), it’s always more than just bangers and mash! This time there were beef sausages, garlic mashed potatoes, fried onions, portabello mushrooms, broccolini and corn on the cob. That’s smokey barbecue sauce on one of my sausages. When I sit dow…
I came across a sausage sizzle at lunch time – $2.00 for a barbecued sausage, onions and barbecue sauce or tomato sauce in a fresh bun. Fantastic! I must confess – I bought and ate two. :) I would’ve had one with tomato sauce and one with barbecue sauce, but by the time I made […]
In May, Western Australians voted in a referendum on daylight saving*. We wandered over to a polling place in the morning, one of the local primary schools. As we approached, we smelled the unmistakable aroma of fried onions and and heard the sizzle of barbecue. Fantastic – this would be breakfast! According to the signs, […]
I said I felt like bangers and mash, so Jac cooked us sausages, garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables (broccoli and snowpeas). When the sausages are juicy and meaty and seasoned to perfection (thank you, Mr or Ms Butcher!), I don’t need any sauce. These were delicious, especially with Jac’s fluffy, garlicky mashed potatoes…
A simple pasta dinner: wholemeal penne with a tomato, sausage, mushroom and broccoli sauce. Jac’s been buying wholemeal pasta for us instead of the regular kind. I eat it because I know it’s good for me and Jac’s cooked it – I know I’ve said this before, but there’s something about its texture that I […]
I wasn’t able to make it to a barbecue with Jac’s family recently, but Jac’s brother Brad (remember the Christmas BBQ meats whisperer? :)) and his fiancee Kelsie sent Jac home with a little alfoil package for me – inside, half a dozen chilli and garlic prawns. They smelled wonderful, and I ate one cold, […]
For dinner a couple of weeks ago, Jac cooked pork chipolatas and served them with fluffy garlic mashed potato, steamed broccolini and carrot, and tomatoes she’d panfried in the same pan as the sausages. She also made a mushroom and onion gravy. She wasn’t that happy with how the gravy turned out, because she wanted […]
Here’s a recent Sunday breakfast: fried sliced bratwurst sausage, kaya on toast, and a fried egg. I’ve previously shared Jac’s tips for perfect sunny side up eggs: how to cook an egg sunny side up. The egg yolk was perfectly gooey, the sausage chewy with deliciously crisp edges, and the sweet toast went really well […]
