Simple sweet snack

You saw the fabulous cheesy snack a few posts ago – well, here’s a sweet and sticky snack of strawberry jam on toast. I usually spread much less jam on my toast, but Jac loves her jam thick and lumpy!

Mid-week roast dinner

On Wednesday night we had roast lamb for dinner. Jac loves making roast dinners, with meat and lots of roasted vegetables – this is of course most excellent, as I love eating roast dinners. On this occasion, Jac flavoured the lamb with rosemary and garlic.       We had roasted butternut pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot, [&hel…

Three work lunches

Three lunches I ate this week – all enjoyed and recommended. From Nippon Fare on Hay Street: teriyaki udon – fat, soft udon noodles stir-fried with cabbage and carrot and served with sliced grilled teriyaki chicken and slivers of pink pickled ginger. I stirred the ginger through the noodles before tucking in – delicious. From [&he…

Big bowl of soup

Jac made a yummy, hearty chicken and vegetable soup this week. She made the chicken stock by boiling up chicken lovely legs (fancy meat marketing name for the top half of chicken drumsticks – the fleshy top half, as opposed to the lower half which is mostly the bone) with cubed carrots, celery and swede, […]

I think I like this better than the grilled chicken burger – the grilled chicken, the […]

Flaky flaky pastry

I chose a delicious-looking pillow-shaped chicken and vegetable bistro pastry ($.3.80). I love puff pastry. To me, it’s a squillion times more delicious […]

Rich in bunly goodness

Maybe it was the saltiness of the bacon that gave me a hankering for something sweet as I wandered the shops. I bought myself an apple scroll ($2.00) from Baker’s Delight. This sweet raisin-studded bun had a light dusting of icing sugar on top with cinnamon and chunks of fresh apple inside. It left my […]

Sometimes you get a bad tomato and you just don’t care

Yesterday morning we grabbed breakfast while out at the shops. We were at the shops pretty early – around 8:30am, and consequently not all food outlets were open. We decided to eat at The Cuckoo Chef again (see my write-up at Eating WA from last year: “We Love Burgers For Breakfast”). This time we went […]
