I can’t think of a title for this post

I worked at home today, mainly reading. For lunch I made myself some toast. Twice. The first time I misread which number the toaster was set at and as I stirred my buttery scrambled eggs, I thought idly to myself, “Hmmm, that toast seems to be taking ages”… and then shortly after that, “What’s that […]

More bleh

Jac stopped by the supermarket on her way home from work this evening and picked up a few items for making dinner: a jar of Chicken Tonight (creamy mushroom flavour), some chicken thighs, potatoes, mushrooms and half a cabbage. I love eating the dishes Jac cooks from scratch, but I’m also perfectly happy to eat […]

A bleh kind of day

I know I keep saying this, but I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to the end of semester/exams. Obviously I will have to get back into some serious thesis work, but on the fun side I also plan to reorganise the categories for this site, for example, splitting “savoury” into favourite food categories such as “burg…

Another SPAM meal

I made my own dinner this evening, and it was quick and easy. I chopped SPAM into cubes, washed and very roughly shredded lettuce into big pieces, chopped cherry tomatoes into halves, and sliced up one brown onion and two big cloves of garlic. First I fried the onion and SPAM in the wok, and […]

She served them with a big dish of tomato sauce. They were very meaty and very tasty. She also made me up […]

I stacked it

It’s Monday of a long weekend here, and I’m still stuck on these essays. I’ve marked and graded them; today’s task is typing up the feedback. As I sit here in front of my computer, Jac is in the lounge with Billy Lee watching dvds and Pixel is curled up in bed. I’m so envious. […]

Surprise dinner date

This evening we attended the launch of my Honours supervisor’s new novel. The event was held in a function room at a restaurant in Fremantle, and the book was officially launched with a speech (complete with a very funny blooper!) by the author Tim Winton. I would’ve taken photos of the finger food that was […]

Sausages, vegetables, and then more sausages

On Wednesday night I arrived home to many delicious smells. Jac had cooked a yummy dinner of chicken sausages, oven-baked chips and oven-baked pumpkin sprinkled with sesame seeds. All I had to do was put down my backpack, kick off my sneakers, pull on my comfy tracksuit pants and grab some cutlery! But there was […]
