The baguette is slightly warm, with a craggy, crackly crust. I butter it with a carefree abandon that I’m certain the restaurant’s namesake chef would approve of. A sprinkle of salt, then a greedy bite into the bread and butter. Oh yes. I’ve been secretly studying the menu all week but am still deliciously bamboozled. […]
Last month, Jac, my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay went to dinner at Divido Italian restaurant in Mount Hawthorn to celebrate Jay’s birthday. Divido’s been on our list of restaurants to check out ever since the Largesse Dining event in May. That night, the third course was the porcini and spinach rotolo by Jason […]
Chicken and vegetable yellow curry with rice Jac cooked yellow curry chicken and vegetables (made using yellow curry paste), which we ate with rice. Curry and rice make one of my favourite comfort meals. I’ve raved on before about my love for bowl and spoon meals – this was yet another! Yellow curry soup with […]
When Jac emailed me at work during the day to ask what I felt like for dinner, I knew right away: tomato soup and toasted sandwiches. I’d had a shocker of a day and needed comforting. Dinner and Twitter The tomato soup was a tin of plain old Heinz condensed soup. Jac made it with […]
Take some cooked penne pasta, fresh grape tomatoes, grated cheese and a tin of condensed tomato soup. Finely chop some white onion. Put the pasta, tomatoes, onion and soup into a casserole dish, top with cheese (as much or as little as you like) and bake in the oven until the dish is heated through, […]
I really enjoyed this work lunch – bacon hock and lentil soup made by my younger sister Juji, which I ate with leftover mini pies. I microwaved the bacon and egg and caramelised onion pies, so they were kind of floppy and chewy. But they smelled glorious and were still a surprisingly tasty companion to […]
A quick food hall brunch while we were at the shops! Jac had prawn rice paper rolls from Spices. I tried the organic chicken and corn soup from Sumo Salad. The soup was loaded with corn and full of chicken, and it was not overly loaded with cornflour like chicken and corn soup sometimes is. […]
This is post 7 out of a series of 8 posts (the full list is at the end of this post). The dinner cruise the night before was fantastic, but we managed to have two magnificent meals the next day, our second-last day on Hamilton Island. I was keen to go out to lunch. While […]
Last Monday afternoon at work, J said she’d be making roasted vegetable soup that evening. She said she’d bring some in for her lunch the next day and could bring me some too, if I liked. I suggested I bring leftover pizza for both of us so that we could have pizza and soup for […]
Last Monday J and I decided to get design-your-own noodles for lunch from Noodlebox. J’s favourite sauce whenever she designs her own noodles is oyster sauce. She had thick egg noodles with double broccoli, snow peas, fish cake and roast pork with oyster sauce. I like the oyster sauce noodles too, but decided to try […]
