Here’s some of the food I ate while Jac was away in Denmark (a town in Western Australia, not the country in Europe!) recently, starting with… no surprises for regular readers – SPAM! Whenever Jac’s away I will eat at least one meal of fried SPAM and egg, rice and baked beans. This time, I […]
I’ve really been eating a lot of SPAM fried rice lately, haven’t I? I made this batch of fried rice with green beans, corn kernels, garlic, egg and turkey SPAM. I packed us each fried rice, orange slices and prunes. Another possibly cryptic cartoon on Jac’s bento note – can anyone tell me why the […]
My bento lunch the next day – with more SPAM to use up, I made SPAM stars and fried rice*. The fried rice was very simple as usual – leftover rice, green beans, garlic and egg, flavoured with soy sauce. I made the stars using a cookie cutter. Feeling somewhat uninspired by what was in […]
My bento lunch the next day: my favourite easy fried rice, made with SPAM, green beans and garlic. As usual, I flavoured the rice with a little oyster sauce, soy sauce and black pepper. In the other bento box compartment, red seedless grapes. This batch of grapes was wonderful – firm, juicy and sweet. Jac […]
With Jac still away, there was just me to eat the bread – so I made more sandwiches for lunch. I used 6 slices of bread, and ate one of the sandwiches at morning tea time. Along with the sandwiches, I packed a small piece of dark fruitcake and some spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes. […]
Dinner I ate rice with SPAM, vegetables (green beans, grape tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms) and garlic, cooked in the wok with oyster sauce. I sliced the garlic into long shards – see the two long pieces of garlic on top, in the photo? After dinner, I panfried a couple of chicken thighs, which I’d rubbed with […]
After my SPAM and egg and baked beans and corn with rice dinner, I cooked up a batch of fried rice for my next day’s bento lunch. I fried up cubes of SPAM until they had crispy edges, and added chopped green beans and garlic to the SPAM in the wok. I threw the corn […]
With Jac away, it didn’t take long for SPAM to feature in a meal. It was the usual combo, which long-time readers have seen on a number of occasions: SPAM fried with egg, rice, and baked beans and corn. I beat two eggs with soy sauce and white pepper before pouring it into the frying […]
Last Tuesday morning I woke with a craving for fried rice. Since I wasn’t packing bento lunches (my workmate J and I had made plans for lunch, coming up in the next post), I had time to quickly rustle up a batch of fried rice. I used cooked rice we had in the fridge, SPAM, […]
Every now and then, I cook myself my old favourite dish of fried SPAM with egg, Heinz baked beans and rice. And even if I’ve had the crappiest of crappy days, I always feel at least a little better as I enjoy this comforting savoury meal.
