The new computer had a few hiccups, which have had me frustrated and preoccupied for the last couple of days. I think they are sorted for now. The problems included: Corrupted downloads (cab errors when trying to install programs like MSN Messenger which did not allow me to install the program, unable to install Java […]
Mum’s baked cheese cake, topped with fresh strawberries. The base is made from crushed Marie biscuits. Going to bed now.
We had a family dinner on Sunday night to farewell my second sister and her hubby who were returning to Sydney that night. This was a home-cooked meal at my parents’ house. Here are the stir-fried vegies: And (unusually, for us!) a second vegie dish, of stir-fried watercress with garlic. This is kari hantu (literally […]
Well, this next bit is sort of food porn (heh). Along with the cake, we were served these long life buns, which my eldest sister told me the proper name of, but I’ve now forgotten (peach something…?). They had lotus bean paste in them (I liked them, I like buns with mung bean paste and […]

This is the meal Jac made for my dinner last night: sausages, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms. The sausages were low-fat beef ones, with a surprisingly really meaty texture. The eggs were homelaid ones that Jac’s mum sent over – our chooks are still living it up at her place. I usually like my eggs […]
