We’re leaving for Sydney tonight and are finishing off the last bits of packing and tidying, but I wanted to sneak another post in, so here goes! After seeing this review of Subiaco’s newest burger joint which opened recently at the location which used to be the Marrakech, L, Chad and I were keen to […]
I’m sure Leika would approve of a nice piece of fish, so here goes! For dinner last night, Jac panfried salmon fillets until they had a delicious crispy crust. I assembled the salad (lettuce, cucumber, baby roma tomatoes, so lovely and fresh) and fruit (orange – so juicy! – and apple) on the plate. The […]
E sent me the link to this gorgeous photo of her kitten Leika. Isn’t he a cutie? I just want to rub his little tummy! Notice his excellent taste in websites! Heheheh. ;) Jac and I met up with E when she was in Perth, and we’re now looking forward to seeing her (and Leika, […]
I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned that Jac and I will be going away on holiday from the 22nd of December. We’ll be flying out to Sydney, staying a couple of days with her brother and then heading up the coast to stay with friends of ours (remember our English mates L and D who […]
For dinner on Monday night, Jac had thawed out a couple of freezer bags of Mexican chilli. These had been leftovers from previous Mexican dinners, which she served on baked potatoes. On the left, beef chilli con carne, on the right, turkey and bean chilli con carne. The turkey mix was my favourite. I’d enjoyed […]
My favourite lunching buddy Chad had Monday to Wednesday off this week, and SRM’s away on holidays, so I started the week having I lunch on my own. Monday: I felt like chicken and rice and a little something deep-fried. Toraya’s teriyaki chicken bento box, large size was an obvious choice. The medium bento box […]
Saturday: a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast. A little freshly cracked black pepper on the eggs. The cats relaxed and soaked up the sunshine on their favourite couch in the spa room. This couch used to belong to my grandma. This is Billy Lee’s idea of “relaxed”. Sunday: we’d bought these beautiful portobello [&hel…
We had a bit of a scare on Friday afternoon. I had just sat down to eat my lunch at Cafe Cafe – a tuna pattie and salad (AU$9.90) when my mobile phone rang. It was Jac’s mum. Jac was back at RPH. She’d been feeling a little funny, and then her heart started beating […]
When I got home on Thursday, the house smelled delicious – Jac had been cooking. I guess cooking’s better than mowing the lawn or shifting furniture! :D Dinner was just beautiful – panfried basa fillets, flavoured just with a little butter and dried herbs – oregano and tarragon. Jac served the fish with homemade coleslaw [&h…
On Thursday I went back to work. I’d offered to take more time off and stay home with Jac (she had last week off and will be back at work on Monday) but she said it wasn’t necessary. I did make her swear she wouldn’t do anything strenuous – I made her promise she wouldn’t […]
