Dinner, 19/10/2006

On Thursday night we’d planned to go to the shops and grab some dinner while we were out, but when Jac got home we had to ring and wait for a guy from the RAC to rock up – the car key was stuck in the ignition and Jac couldn’t get it out. The RAC […]

Dinner, 18/10/2006

On Wednesday night, Jac served up chicken and mushrooms cooked with garlic, onions, spring onions and teriyaki sauce (sorry, there’s no recipe), and salad with a Japanese salad dressing.

Another dinner

Tonight’s dinner was chilli chicken and stir-fried green beans and capsicum served with rice. Jac stir-fried the beans and capsicum in the wok with spring onions, garlic and oyster sauce.

As soon as we were seated, a waiter brought us each a glass of complimentary homemade lemonade and poured us glasses of water (that was very good; we always like having water […]

DCX Weekend: High Tea at the Atrium

Our Dixie Chicks weekend began with our checking-in at the Burswood Holiday Inn. We then headed straight to The Atrium Restaurant, where we’d booked High Tea for two. Jac has been keen to have High Tea ever since I read about in online, and so this was the perfect opportunity for us to check it […]

DCX Weekend: The Concert

EDIT: And how could I forget? The audience sang Happy Birthday to Natalie too! Hahahaa! What a weekend! The Dixie Chicks concert was BRILLIANT. I did try to take photos, but they didn’t turn out. Miscellaneous thoughts: Didn’t really like the tour merchandise (you can see what was available here). The T-shirts weren’t to my [&hell…

Well, we’re off to the Dixie Chicks concert at the Burswood Dome tomorrow evening. We’ll be spending the night at the Holiday Inn Burswood. There should be some yummy food to write about too, but I won’t tell you where we’ll be dining – I’ll let that be a surprise for you guys. I’m planning […]
