For our Monday bento last week I decided to try making “sort of” rice balls. I say “sort of” because I didn’t really follow any specific recipe, and we didn’t have any sushi seasoning, so I couldn’t make sushi rice. I just cooked some steamed jasmine rice in the microwave, and while it was still […]
We’re back! It was only a short getaway, but we really enjoyed spending the time together without thinking about our usual weekend chores, like grocery shopping and doing the dishes. We ate some delicious food – I’m in the process of uploading the photos and writing up the posts. In the meantime, I have plenty […]
We had bacon and egg bagels for breakfast last Saturday morning. Jac toasted and lightly buttered the bagels and fried the bacon and eggs. A little tomato sauce – perfect! Jac used egg rings to keep the eggs neat and round. She cooked the eggs so that the yolks weren’t hard or powdery, but they […]
Another non-bento Friday. J and I went to IGA supermarket (Royal Street, East Perth) to have a curry combination for lunch. I chose a two meat, one vegetable and rice combination. You get a choice of chicken biryani or steamed basmati rice; I chose the biryani. For my meat curries I chose the butter chicken […]
I cooked up a batch of fried rice for bento last Wednesday evening after I had my dinner. Our bento lunches consisted of: Fried rice (with turkey SPAM cubes, green beans, baby corn, onion, garlic and egg, flavoured with Tamari and white pepper, just like the soba noodles we had the previous week) Oven-baked butternut […]
In our bento boxes last Wednesday: leftover Original Recipe KFC, which I’d taken off the bone so it would easy and less messy to eat. Cherry tomatoes. KFC sandwiches (“recipe” at the end of this post). A little bread and butter. Corn on the cob. Salad made with leftover cooked vegetables (butternut pumpkin, potato, broccoli) [&hel…
I was away from the office all day last Tuesday – I had to attend a training course. It was fully catered (morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea), so I didn’t need to worry about lunch that day. But I did make Jac some sandwiches for her lunch. This is what I made for her: […]
Last Monday night we had sirloin steaks, cooked in a hot pan until a perfectly tender medium, served with mushroom sauce, oven-roasted golden crispy potatoes and butternut pumpkin, with juicy sweet corn on the cob, steamed snow peas and broccoli. Jac made the mushroom sauce with sliced fresh mushrooms (sliced by her loyal assistant :)), […]
Jac told me not to worry about making up a bento box for her last Monday; she just took a serve of macaroni cheese to work for her lunch. So in my bento box I packed: leftover macaroni cheese, crispy fried turkey SPAM cubes with fresh cherry tomatoes, honey and mustard carrots, blanched snow peas […]
Last Saturday, at the shopsJac’s chicken caesar wrap from Pure + Natural. I suppose it’s a deconstructed sort of caesar filling in the wrap – lettuce, bacon and some sort of caesar-style sauce (but of course there shouldn’t be tomato in a caesar – and I guess if I was being nitpicky I’d say the […]
