It was workmate H’s birthday, and she brought in a big batch of cupcakes topped with icing and Clinkers. Sharp-eyed readers will notice some of the cupcakes had TWO Clinkers on top. Needless to say, those didn’t last long! Here is my chosen cupcake before it met with my teeth. The cupcakes were initially stashed […]
A recent home cooked breakfast – Jac panfried the mushrooms in butter and toasted the bread. I made the scrambled eggs. I spread kaya thickly on my toast – yum! In egg-related news, we’ve been discussing keeping chooks in our backyard again. We had three isa brown hens a few years ago, and their eggs […]
Here’s that delicious chicken kebab with runny egg and garlic sauce I mentioned in my recent chicken kebab post. It smelled absolutely wonderful, and its warmth felt lovely in my hands as I took greedy, garlicky bites. In the kebab: chicken, egg, tomato, lettuce, loads of garlic sauce – and a little salt and pepper. […]
I said I felt like bangers and mash, so Jac cooked us sausages, garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables (broccoli and snowpeas). When the sausages are juicy and meaty and seasoned to perfection (thank you, Mr or Ms Butcher!), I don’t need any sauce. These were delicious, especially with Jac’s fluffy, garlicky mashed potatoes…

I’ve been resisting the urge to order them with garlic sauce because I know just how powerfully garlicky the sauce is. Without garlic sauce as an option, I order my kebabs with barbecue sauce and mayonnaise. […]
Every time I eat a delicious deep-fried dinner of fish and chips, calamari, prawns and scallops, I wish deep-fried food wasn’t so bad for me. That’s all.
It’s been a while since we got dinner from Charcoal Chicken. I stopped by the store on my way home from work recently and grabbed us a cream dinner each and a chicken caesar to share. The cream dinner consists of a quarter chicken, potatoes in cream gravy, and peas. The cream potatoes used to […]
My bento lunch the next day – with more SPAM to use up, I made SPAM stars and fried rice*. The fried rice was very simple as usual – leftover rice, green beans, garlic and egg, flavoured with soy sauce. I made the stars using a cookie cutter. Feeling somewhat uninspired by what was in […]
My bento lunch the next day: my favourite easy fried rice, made with SPAM, green beans and garlic. As usual, I flavoured the rice with a little oyster sauce, soy sauce and black pepper. In the other bento box compartment, red seedless grapes. This batch of grapes was wonderful – firm, juicy and sweet. Jac […]
