Saturday in town, part 2

A little while after our pomme frites snack, we decided to grab a hotdog from the Hotdog Oasis stand in the Hay Street Mall. I asked the hotdog bloke if I could take photos, and he didn’t mind. Here he is assembling Jac’s “Frankfurter”, and then posing for me!    The smell of the cooking […]

Saturday in town, part 1

In the past week and a bit, Jac had this pain that began in her left bum cheek and went through her leg, sometimes ending at her left ankle. This resulted in a number of nights of tossing and turning (she couldn’t get comfortable), which kept both of us awake (not to mention Pixel, who […]

Meat, potatoes, veg

Last night for dinner Jac made a beef and red wine casserole, which she served with garlic mashed potato (potatoes boiled with whole cloves of garlic in the saucepan, which are then mashed together) and steamed silverbeet. Mmmmm. Tasty. As usual, there’s no actual recipe for the casserole – I think what she did was […]

Mushy but tasty

The other night, Jac cooked up some noodles with chicken thigh pieces and peas, using a mee goreng packet mix. The noodles ended up a little overcooked but the packet mix flavour was great – sort of like curry.

Old favourite, new favourite

It was just a matter of time before SPAM fried rice made another appearance. Oh – but this wasn’t made using the SPAM Single! I forgot I had that in the pantry and opened a tin of SPAM instead. Doh! For those not familiar with my SPAM fried rice, it is very easy: first, I […]

SPAM Single

While we were at the supermarket, Jac spotted this product: SPAM Single! As a lover and regular consumer of SPAM, I was most intrigued and bought one just to try. It cost $1.99. I’ll let you know what it’s like when I do crack it open, but for now, you may have a look at […]

Saturday morning

We had to do some grocery shopping this morning. Jac was planning to fry up some bacon and eggs for breakfast before we went, but she had a sleep-in instead (which was fine – while she slept, I exercised). By the time she got up I was getting into the shower, and it was late […]

Lou’s Hens Night, Part 2

We moved onto dinner at Ha Tien Vietnamese Restaurant, which is located at 2/800 Albany Highway in East Victoria Park. Everyone at my end of the table kindly agreed to let me photograph their food. The photos probably aren’t the best, as I took them very very quickly. Each person ordered her own main dish […]

Lou’s Hens Night, Part 1

Tonight we went to our friend Lou’s hens night (I’ve posted previously about a fantastic barbie at Lou and Dan’s previously – see here and here). The hens night consisted of a few parts: part 1 was cocktails and nibblies at Lou and Dan’s place (Dan and his mates were out partying elsewhere for his […]
