I’ve been working from home this week, writing the latest chapter. Today, Jac rang to say she would pick up a couple of lunch bar burgers and head home to have lunch with me. How nice! She brought home a hamburger, just simple: meat pattie, lettuce, tomato, onion and loads of barbecue sauce… …and a […]
Last night for dinner, Jac panfried these chicken and pork kievs we bought from the supermarket. Yes, chicken and pork. They were very garlicky and salty, and Jac fried them so they were lovely and crisp on the outside. She served them with steamed vegetables (carrot, zucchini, cauliflower, green beans and potatoes), which she tossed […]
Lately, I just haven’t felt like posting. Here are some random recent photos. Another Dominos Meatmaster, with thin and crispy crust. Dominos Godfather, also with thin and crispy crust. Lately, Dominos have really loaded their pizzas with toppings, which is great. I love this pizza because of the sundried tomatoes and garlic, but I pick [&hel…
Hi everyone. Billy Lee here. My Mum tfp says I’ve been very naughty since my Mum Jac has been away. Every morning, just before the sun comes up I make my funny growly noise until my Mum tfp wakes up. She yells and squirts water at me but I just hide or run to another […]
I had a good day yesterday. I got up nice and early, fed the babies and then squeezed myself three oranges’ worth of fresh juice. I’ve been buying 3 kg bags of Gingin navel oranges for $4.99 and making fresh orange juice every morning. It just tastes so much better than any bottled juice, even […]

Heeheehee, I just won a copy of the Elvis – Hitstory 3 CD set on a radio competition (I told you I’m an Elvis fan, didn’t I?!). The hard part of the competition is getting through on the phone. It’s called Word of the Day; they give you a word and three definitions and you […]
Tonight’s dinner was beef chipolatas, garlic mashed potato, peas and baked beans, which I served with a blob of smokey barbecue sauce. To make garlic mashed potato is very simple: I boiled the potatoes with a couple of whole cloves of garlic. I didn’t peel the garlic skins off, I just popped them into the […]
When the cat’s away, the mouse will… order Dominos home delivered pizza for lunch. With no one to please other than myself, I ordered the Meatmaster with Thin ‘n’ Crispy crust*, a side order of Chicken Strips with sweet and sour sauce and a garlic bread. The Chicken Strips didn’t look very good but they […]
