A simple pasta dinner: wholemeal penne with a tomato, sausage, mushroom and broccoli sauce. Jac’s been buying wholemeal pasta for us instead of the regular kind. I eat it because I know it’s good for me and Jac’s cooked it – I know I’ve said this before, but there’s something about its texture that I […]
For the rest of the week, I bought my lunch. WednesdayA small asian combination, of stir-fried rice noodles, chilli potatoes and yellow chicken curry. My favourite dish was the potato one – it was spicy and delicious, with fried potato chunks, red capsicum, green beans and chilli. ThursdayAnother small asian combination, of fried rice, stir-f…
Another fish and salad dinner: barramundi fillets coated in seasoned flour, served with garden salad and pasta salad. The garden salad was very simple: mixed greens, cucumber, capsicum and grape tomatoes. I ate it just as it was, no dressing. Jac used pasta bows (farfalle) in the pasta salad – she chopped the bows in […]
If we happen to have fresh bread, salad and sandwich filling-type items in the fridge, I like to make sandwiches for our work lunches as I know Jac loves sandwiches. On this occasion, we had both wholemeal and multigrain bread*, so I used both breads. I poked animal picks into the sandwiches to help keep […]

The toasted Turkish bread, ham, poached eggs and spinach were smothered in thick, almost congealed-looking hollandaise sauce (see the creases in the sauce? Ewww, hollandaise skin!). The poached egg yolks weren’t as gooey as…
On our first evening back after our holiday, we went to dinner at my parents’ home. It was their friends S and T’s last night in Perth (we ‘kids’ call them “Uncle S” and “Auntie T”). Auntie T did what she always does on the last night of their stays – she cooked up a […]
After our trip, we were all out of whack with sleep and time, and although we were tired, we got up early on our first morning back and went for a drive in search of food. I love sitting in a booth at Hungry Jacks and having burgers and fries with my sweetheart. It’s a […]
A tech-related post! Now this is not related to food blogging, but I thought I’d seek some feedback from my readers. I went along to a presentation by Apple yesterday afternoon for work, and got to play with an iPod Touch as part of the presentation. I love my Nokia E71, but now I wish […]
