We had afternoon tea on Friday to farewell S and also to celebrate R’s birthday. R brought along two cakes to share. First was this fruits of the forest cheese cake, purchased from Fresh Provisions in Mount Lawley. That’s a lot of cream, eh? The berry jelly glaze on the cheese cake as well as […]
On Thursday night, we went to the shops and grabbed some dinner at the food hall. Jac was in a sushi mood and got a mixed pack (AU$7.90) – L-R: crabstick with avocado, cucumber and egg; teriyaki chicken with cucumber and mayo; carrot with cucumber, avocado and mayo. I got myself a two meat and […]
On Thursday I had a rare opportunity to have breakfast at a cafe before work because I had to attend a training course that didn’t start until 9am, a very late start for me! The last time I had such an opportunity I ate at Etro on King Street in the city. This time I […]
We went out for dinner again on Wednesday (we’ve since decided we’ll try to go out for dinner on Wednesday nights, just because!). I met Jac at her office after work, and armed with a discount coupon from our Entertainment Book, we went to Mahsuri Satay Restaurant in Victoria Park. The restaurant was empty when […]
Thank you to everyone who left responses to the wee burger quiz from the previous post. If you haven’t read the comments for that post, you should – they are interesting and rather hungrifying themselves! Monday: A toasted spinach wrap with chicken, lettuce, sundried tomatoes, pineapple and corn kernels from MYO. Tuesday: A tandoori piz…
At the end of the previous post, I mentioned that Jac was frying up burgers for dinner. We’d bought 100% beef patties from Woolies – the ingredients listed on the packaging were simply: beef mince. We made the burgers Whopper style, with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayonaise and tomato sauce. I guess what the missing […]
It is so disgustingly hot. The fan blowing behind me is just moving the hot air around. The cats are just flopped on the floor. They haven’t even asked for their dinner, which is a sign of how hot they are. We don’t have air-conditioning, so it’s been hard to fall asleep at night. I’ve […]
On Friday night, Jac and I had dinner at Sorrento Restaurant, which is located at 158 James Street, Northbridge. Jac is a big fan of offal – she absolutely loves dishes like lamb’s fry with bacon, devilled kidneys and crumbed lambs’ brains in a creamy sauce. Not me! I refuse to eat offal – I’ve […]
SRM and I had lunch at Han’s again this week. Seems like ages since we’ve eaten lunch together, let alone at Han’s. We’ve just been so busy. SRM had the squid pepper rice (AU$9.45 – rice dish prices have gone up!). He said it was only so-so this time. For the sake of a new […]
Some slightly exciting news – this site’s been featured in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper today – in the section called “The List”. Woo hoo! Read it here: The List (PDF 337KB) And so, I’d like to give a warm welcome to new readers from the SMH, many thanks for coming to check me out! […]
