I love tinned cocktail sausages!

Tonight, Jac is at her hockey club’s cocktail party with some of her friends and her teammates. I’m going to enjoy a night alone, watching DVDs and updating this site. So here I am, trying to catch up on postings, which is the usual story on a weekend. This was breakfast last Sunday – Chinese […]

Wednesday work food: fratenal noodle twins

My lunch yesterday (Wednesday): Mee Goreng (AU$8.95) at Han’s. Yes, Han’s again! I really wanted to finish the book I was reading, and Han’s is a good place to eat something-not-too-expensive and sit and read at the same time.
