Last night my family got together for dinner in a Chinese restaurant. We were celebrating my sister’s hubby’s birthday, saying farewell to Koo Ma who’s returning home to Adelaide, wishing my brother a safe business trip to the US (he leaves tomorrow morning and will be gone for a couple of weeks), but also having […]
As I do sometimes, I woke up around 7am craving rice and something garlicky. I raided the fridge and found a single leftover salt and pepper chicken thigh from the other night. I popped it on a plate for reheating in the microwave with some leftover rice. I found some washed lettuce that Jac had […]
It was back to fish on Thursday evening. This fish was sold as “sweet lip” which may or may not refer to the fish known as sweet lip emperor. Jac marinated the fish with teriyaki sauce, ginger and sliced chunks of garlic and then grilled it. We ate it with rice, salad and corn on […]
My sister-in-law A gave me a lift home after we finished clearing Mama’s flat on Tuesday, and Jac and I invited her to stay and have dinner with us. What did we have? Yep, more fish and salad. The distinguishing feature of the salad this time was sliced roasted red capsicum. I think this capsicum […]
On Tuesday I attended a job interview* in the morning and then caught the bus from town to join my family in sorting through Mama’s things and cleaning/clearing her flat. I’ve had this tradition for many years of eating junk food before a job interview or on my first day at a new job. As […]
Continuing on with our month of many meals featuring fish and salad, here’s another. This was dinner last Sunday. First, salad. This one had green seedless grapes in it as well as the usual stuff. Jac parboiled potatoes and whole garlic cloves and then roasted them in the oven until the potatoes were crispy and […]
Jac and house guest VR are in Mandurah this weekend, staying with mates by the beach. They’ll be home on Sunday arvo. It’s 2:50am and I’m finally beginning to feel like going to sleep. But before I do go to bed, here’s a photo of a barbecue chook we ate last weekend. VR had expressed […]
We have also been saddened this week by the sudden death of my sister’s cat Baubles. Having lost our cat Ruby in tragic circumstances a number of years ago and knowing just how much we love our two furry babies now, I can imagine just how devastating this loss has been to my sister. […]
These photos are from a family breaky last Sunday at my parents’ home. There was plenty of fruit, which was great for Jac as she is still eating a low-fat diet as she awaits her surgery (due to take place on Tuesday). Mum and Dad made a big batch of donuts using their donut maker, […]
