Lunch: chicken karaage set from Sushi@Royal (131 Royal St, East Perth). The chicken karaage set was one of the first meals I ever bought for lunch since I began working in East Perth. It was just as yummy this time around. The rice was topped with a very light sprinkling of toasted black sesame seeds […]
Jac didn’t need lunch for work last Monday. This is what I packed for myself. Salad, sliced leftover spicy Italian sausage, steamed broccolini and a little curried coleslaw. I just love how brightly green the broccolini is. I simply sliced up one of those delicious spicy sausages and included a monkey food pick for easy […]
Recently, Jac had a hankering for pizza. We each chose a pizza and got some garlic bread (not pictured). This was my choice – the “Special” (it’s not a special, its name is actually “Special”) – ham, pepperoni, bacon, fresh tomato, onion, pineapple – and we asked for extra mushrooms. I hate how when y…
Shredded cabbage, carrot and capsicum, which I dressed lightly in Paul Newman’s own light lime vinaigrette. A simple salad of cos lettuce, snow peas and cherry tomatoes. This bread comes from Bakers Delight and is called the “Continental Hungarian Roll”. It’s topped with a crusty layer of cheese and is unbelievably soft and …
Two Friday nights ago, Jac roasted a couple of half chooks and potato wedges in the oven. She’d rubbed the chicken all over with onion salt, garlic salt and black pepper, and the seasoned skin was deliciously crispy. This was my plate, with a chicken thigh and drumstick (of course) and a dish of tomato […]
It was C’s birthday last Friday, and she bought a selection of sweets from Crown Caffii (formerly Le Croissant on the Cove, Shop 24 108 Royal St East Perth) to share for afternoon tea. There was a cannoli, a chocolate eclair, a chocolate sponge slice, a florentine and a chocolate hedgehog slice (under the florentine). […]
I met my friend C for breakfast last Friday, at Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St – Cnr Plain St, next to The Royal pub). It was a chilly morning and we were among the first customers that day, arriving at a little past 7am. It didn’t take long for the cafe to […]
I was in the mood for something from Noodlebox for lunch on Thursday, but I packed Jac a bento lunch. I gave her basically the same lunch as I’d had the day before: meatballs and ranch dip, salad, marinated mushrooms and watermelon. I also packed her a mini Babybel cheese and some bread and butter […]
Jac didn’t need bento last Wednesday, so this is what I packed for myself. I used the two-box combo again. French toast and fresh fruit (strawberries and watermelon), meatballs with ranch dressing for dipping, marinated mushrooms (leftover from the broccoli salad we had on Monday night), and salad with a couple of leftover potato wedges [&hel…
Last Tuesday night Jac made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. She made the meatballs from scratch but used a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce (not enough time after work to make meatballs AND sauce – hey, I’m not complaining!). I am just amazed and grateful that anyone would come home after working all day and […]
