Juji and Mark’s birthday lunch – the sweet

Juji’s special request was for Mum’s baked cheese cake (I’ve posted the recipe before, see this post). Two birthdays, two cheese cakes. Tummies: *grrrrroan* Juji did a great job decorating them, didn’t she? Juji took this close-up of the strawberries and gold kiwi fruit on the top of one of the cheese cakes. I don’t [&…

Juji and Mark’s birthday lunch – the savoury

On Sunday we went to my folks’ for lunch to celebrate my brother and younger sister’s birthdays (27th and 20th respectively). Laksa was on the menu, as was lots and lots and LOTS of chicken. My brother Mark is also known affectionately as “Chicken Boy” because of his love of eating chicken – the abundance […]

Caesar in September

Jac was in a cooking mood on Saturday night (which, of course, made me very happy!). As well as Venetian chicken soup, she also made caesar salad, with homemade croutons and shaved parmesan – YAY! We were actually out of cos lettuce, so Jac cheated and used a combination of iceberg and some of the […]

Most of the week’s food

Jac made fried rice on Monday. It was especially yummy because it had roast pork in it – roast pork that had been in our freezer since Mother’s Day! On Tuesday we had panfried pork steaks with vegies. The vegies were sauteed potatoes and garlic, steamed cabbage and zucchini, and orange mash. The potatoes were […]

JUST SAY NO

When you have a breakfast combo at Hungry Jack’s, you get two, yes, TWO hash browns. This means when Jac and I have breakfast at Hungry Jack’s (I usually have the Aussie Brekky Combo with an orange juice, while she has the Brekky Wrap Combo with a cappucino) we have this pile of hash browns […]

Another excellent barbie at Lou and Dan’s, Part 5

We’ve had nibblies, we’ve had LOTS of meat, we’ve had salads and shishkebabs. Oh, and we’ve had butter (hah). But my favourite photo from the day is this bowl of lollies. I just like the bright colours and the way they look so rubbery. I love the little red frog’s protruding round eyes. Jac wanted […]

Another excellent barbie at Lou and Dan’s, Part 3

I took photos of the little boys’ lunches before they started eating. This is what Moritz (aged 6+) had for lunch: a rissole, a lamp chop, a sausage and a little bit of rice salad. Oh, and a little blob of tomato sauce. And this is what Fynn (aged 3+) had for lunch: a sausage […]

Another excellent barbie at Lou and Dan’s, Part 2

It was a BYO meat barbie. Dan had a couple of barbies on the go, and they were soon loaded up with meat. Friends and family can see photos on Flickr of blokes (Dan and his mates) standing around the barbies holding beers and tongs, doing what blokes do at barbecues. :) Here are rissoles […]
