Friday night with friends

Our friends MK and AK and their two teenaged kids came over for dinner on Friday night. By the time I got home from work I was in my usual state of Friday night exhaustion, feeling a little worried that I’d be battling to stay awake through dinner. I put on my apron and helped […]

Another birthday at work

On Tuesday we celebrated another workmate’s birthday with goodies she got from Michel’s Patisserie. There were fruit and custard tarts, chocolate topped profiteroles and some hefty looking cannoli. There was also an iced orange cake. The cake was lovely and soft – fluffy, in fact. I love orange cake, but I must admit I found [&hel…

A couple of dinners

On Monday night, we had panfried chicken patties (bought from Woolworths) with salad and homemade potato wedges. The potato wedges were well done but not overdone (important distinction!) and very tasty with a light sprinkling of chicken salt and dipped in aioli. Mmmmm. On Tuesday night we had fish filets baked in foil in the […]

Work lunches

Monday: Teriyaki chicken, large size (AU$8.50), takeaway from Nippon Fare. I usually choose the small (or do they call it regular?) size, but this time I had lunch rather late – it was almost 2pm and I was absolutely ravenous by then – and so I felt compelled to choose large.

Chicken karaage with BBQ sauce and mayonnaise from Nagano Sushi. Jac’s platter of sandwiches for Saturday dinner. I just don’t feel like doing anything today. I [&hel…

Friday night home delivery Chinese

Ever since we had the squid with spice and pepper with Juji and Jay recently, Jac hasn’t been able to stop thinking about eating it again. And since it was her pay day on Friday she decided it was a pretty good time to get some of that squid. The photo really doesn’t do it […]

Reunion with an old deep fried friend

As I stood in line waiting to order at McDonald’s on Tuesday night, I realised that it’s been many years since I ate a McDonald’s Apple Pie – and so I ordered one. I like the current packaging, very Aussie green and gold. I know people who absolutely hate these apple pies because they are […]

Takeaway dinner for Jac

On Tuesday, I picked up some takeaway dinner for Jac on my way home from work, from Poppo Korean Japanese Restaurant on Barrack Street in the city. We haven’t really eaten much Korean food – a few years ago we ate at Arirang Korean Barbecue Restaurant, also on Barrack Street, and that’s really about it. […]

Work lunches

Tuesday: Han’s stir fried noodle [sic] from Han’s Cafe – egg noodles stir fried with BBQ pork and seafood (fish cake, squid and prawns). I used to eat this dish all the time at one of the Han’s Hay St cafes when I worked in the city years ago. The Subiaco Han’s version of this […]
