When I got home last Wednesday night, I smelled something wonderful cooking. “We’re having roast pork and vegies,” Jac told me. Fantastic! Here’s the chunk of roasted pork, resting before Jac carved it. She roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut pumpkin and carrot. Here’s the roast pork after Jac carved off slices…
We had a late lunch with Jac’s family on Christmas day. It was close to 2pm by the time we sat down to eat, and I was ready again for another big meal. The theme of the day was meat – lots and lots of meat – vegetarians, this is your warning of what’s ahead! […]
For dinner two Friday nights ago, we had a couple of dishes made by Jac’s mum’s friend E, to eat with rice. She’d made us prawn sambal and lemongrass chicken. Jac said she’d pick up a couple of extra takeaway dishes – another meat dish and a vegetable dish, to go with the home cooked […]
Jac cooked us a very nice vegetarian dinner last Monday night – she was keen to try out a recipe from one of her vegetarian cook books – eggplant blinis with chive sour cream and stir-fried vegetables. The chive sour cream was easy to make – I just mixed sour cream with chopped fresh chives […]
On Monday evening, we went to our friend M’s for a barbecue dinner. M told us not to bring anything – as M and her son L are both vegetarians, we went along knowing the meal would probably be vego. I know most people think of me as a complete carnivore who is anti-vegetable, but […]
Yesterday evening after work Jac cleaned the barbie (it hadn’t been used for quite some time) and then cooked up a delicious dinner on it. We had grilled eggplant, red capsicum and tomatoes with beef sausages for VR and me, and vegetarian sausages for Jac (which tasted surprisingly like meat sausages – I did prefer […]
On New Year’s Day, Jac and VR came home from Dunsborough. I’d enjoyed my time alone but I’d really missed Jac, so I was chuffed to see them. That evening Jac and I went to my folks’ for dinner (VR was invited but was too tired and I suspect, rather ooged out from all the […]
Yesterday evening we (Jac, our house guest VR and I) went to a barbie at my uni friend MK and her hubby AK’s place. It was just so relaxing to catch up with mates while eating lots of yummy food. The food was fantastic – all prepared and provided by MK and AK. The company […]
And so ends our special event mini-series Commentgate: The Dummy Spit of TFP. We will now resume normal programming. Yesterday my younger sister and her boyfriend came over for lunch and to get the run-down regarding what needs to be done when they house/cat-sit for us when we go on holiday to Geraldton next week. […]
When Jac asked me what I felt like for dinner last night, I told her I’d like some sort of chicken dish, cooked with onions, garlic and mushrooms, in a sauce made with chicken stock and possibly white wine and herbs – no cream. I thought it might be nice to have green beans in […]
