Fantastic curry dinner

Dinner last Sunday night – Jac used the last of a jar of korma curry paste we had in the fridge. With a little light cream, onions and chicken thigh pieces she cooked up a very tasty chicken curry. For a vegie dish, she stir-fried cabbage, green beans, carrot, onion and garlic in the wok, […]

Last Saturday morning at the shops. Jac got herself a bacon pretzel from Pretzos. The doughy pretzel is baked, topped with slices of bacon and lots and lots of cheese (check out the cheesy perimeter!). When you order it, they offer to sprinkle it with powdered parmesan cheese and brush it with melted butter or […]

Meals at home

We ate the last of the Nandos chicken with fresh spinach, grape tomatoes and mushrooms, and Jac made a pasta salad. As you can see, there wasn’t a lot of chicken on my plate. We’d eaten almost half a chicken each, so there wasn’t much left over for the next day! I loved the pasta […]

Fried ham and egg

A recent weekend breakfast – Jac fried up some sliced ham and an egg for each of us. I buttered us some bread. Just a little freshly cracked black pepper on the egg – perfect. Here’s my last bite of ham and egg, with a dribble of tomato sauce. And I now, thanks to you […]

Reflections on the chicken’s bum

A number of my readers have professed their love for Nando’s – this post is especially for you (and all the other chicken lovers too)! We’d talked during the week about going out for dinner on Friday night, but both decided to see how we felt on Friday afternoon. It had been a really busy […]
