Burgers of Disappointment

We went to the Perth Caravan and Camping Show at the Ascot Race Course on Saturday. We had great fun going in and out of caravans and motorhomes and checking out tents. The food we ate was rather disappointing – crap quality for the price. We were starving when we got there and there didn’t […]

Yep yep, another Friday night home delivery chinese dinner

I’m sure you know by now that we don’t usually feel like cooking on Friday nights. Here’s what we got home delivered this time. First, a selection of deep fried entrees, with the fancy name of “Four Seasons” – 2 battered dim sims, 4 wantans, 4 spring rolls and 2 pieces of prawn toast. Chicken […]

Extremely saucy chicken burger

For lunch today I had a marinated chicken burger. The marinated chicken thigh filet was freshly cooked on the hotplate for my order. The burger was assembled as I watched, with lettuce, tomato and red onion, and an extremely big squeeeeeeeeeeze of barbecue sauce. I guess the girl who made my burger likes heavy sauce […]

Another no-proper-recipe dish

Last night’s dinner, made by Jac was savoury mince with garlic mashed potato. She didn’t follow a particular recipe – the savoury mince consisted of lamb mince, onions, carrots and peas, with some beef stock and worchestershire sauce. The garlic mashed potato she’s made a squillion times before – our version is to boil…

They have a very talented cooker of curries in that kitchen! I’ve been trying to think of something interesting that happened today so […]

Breakfast Fried Rice

I wrote about how much I love bus station fried rice last year in December. I’ve been buying it for my breakfast at least once a week since then. This week I decided I would make my own fried rice on the weekend and pack it up in containers ready for my week’s breakfasts (we […]

Sunday lunch – strange but delicious

Some of you may think this looks weird, but it was a really yummy lunch. I zapped two lemon pepper fish filets (leftover from Friday night) in the microwave. I cooked up a packet of Maggi two-minute noodles (chicken flavour). I blanched the bok choy in the noodle broth, but served the noodles on the […]

Saturday arvo and dinner

This afternoon, Jac and I went to the public pool with her niece Savannah. Jac and Savannah hung out together in the “leisure” section of the pool, while I walked laps in the “walkers” lane. The shallow end of the lane was 0.9 metres, and the deep end was 1.3 metres, so whenever I got […]
