We went to Jac’s mum’s for dinner on Easter Sunday. She had some Easter chocolate muffins in a tupperware on the table. I thought they looked rather like Playboy Bunny muffins. What do you reckon? Jac’s mum made a simple but delicious dinner of braised chicken with vegetables. She served it with mashed potatoes and […]
The box. We bought half a baked chocolate cheesecake. The cheesecake has a layer of chocolate icing and is topped with big balls of chocolate mousse with glace cherries. And all along the outside are flaked almonds. I didn’t have a slice, but I did eat the bits off the knife when I cut a […]
We decided to go to Hungry Jack’s for breakfast this morning. HJ’s now do breakfast until 11am. Interestingly, the HJ website doesn’t mention anything about breakfast, so maybe it’s not a nationwide thing. Jac ordered the Brekky Wrap, which has bacon, sausage, egg, cheese and barbecue sauce in it. Here is the Wrap, still wra…
On Friday night we sat in the lounge watching Legally Blonde, munching on marinated chicken (marinated by Jac sometime ago, with soy sauce and my grandma’s homemade chilli, garlic and ginger sauce) and homemade potato chips with chicken salt. Both the chicken and chips were cooked in the oven. We also had a salad featuring […]
We made pizza for breakfast the other day. Well, to be more accurate, we assembled pizza using Lebanese bread as the pizza bases, which we then baked in the oven. The first one was covered in smokey barbecue sauce and then topped half-and-half. One side: ham, onion, fetta, roasted capsicum (roasted by Jac) and sundried […]
I signed up and paid for a lifetime LibraryThing account on 18th September last year (incidentally, 18th September is my younger sister’s birthday!). This week, I finally started cataloguing my books. I was kind of putting it off because I knew once I started I wouldn’t want to stop. That fear has proven to be […]
I am sooooooo glad it’s the Easter break. It’s been a very busy and exhausting week (I guess they all are, these days). I forgot to upload and post the photo of the chocolate rice bubble slice Jac bought at the fair last weekend. It was more sugary than chocolatey – like, really REALLY sugary. […]
This morning, we decided to check out a local fair. It was free to get in. It was only a small fair, but there were a few good stalls – secondhand books, cakes and biscuits, jams and preserves, curry and rice (which you could zap in a microwave there), lots of raffles and lucky dips […]
We got this pink cat tent free sometime ago when we bought two bags of Eukanuba cat biccies. This morning, Billy Lee decided to make herself comfy in it. While Billy Lee enjoyed the cat tent, Pixel was happy on her favourite perch, on top of the container of spa water chemicals on the gym […]
I worked at home yesterday as our new stove was being delivered. It’s an Electrolux Chef. Our handy man, who is a qualified gas fitter came over and hooked it up today. I was out at the time, shopping for my friend MK’s birthday present. Apparently I missed all the fun of cleaning behind the […]
