Jac made this quick dinner for me one night I got home from work very late – a chicken, salad and aioli wrap. She seasoned the chicken pieces in Greek seasoning (we buy it in a jar) before panfrying until golden-brown and juicy. She placed the hot juicy chicken on top of mixed crispy lettuce […]
I took Thursday and Friday off work a few weeks ago because I was sick, and this was what I ate on the Sunday night when I was feeling much better (I went to work the next day). SPAM, which Jac fried up so it was super browned and crispy-edged, with baked beans, garlic mushrooms […]
I loved the chicken stew Jac made recently, and while I was sick I asked if she could make some more. It smelled wonderful as it bubbled away cooking on the stove.* I ate the chicken stew in bed. Jac served it to me on a tray, with two slices of fresh multigrain bread and […]
Just catching up on the photos from the time I was sick recently. I was definitely too sick to go into work, but not too sick to take photos of my meals. :) Here’s the first – a comforting meal at the best of times, very good for when I’m unwell – boiled eggs with […]
A couple of people have asked me where my sister Juji got the bento box from in Melbourne. This is what she told me: “I bought it from a shop in Melbourne Central – but i can’t remember the name of the shop! It was a little shop off the ground floor entrance … Near […]
I’ve had a cinnamon bun thing going lately. Here’s an iced cinnamon bun I ate recently. This one had very sticky, thick sugary icing –poured fondant, I think. The little black raisins in the bun were sweet, but the bun itself didn’t taste or feel as fresh and fluffy in the middle as it should’ve […]
DinnerFor dinner, Jac served oven-baked crumbed chicken fingers (bought frozen in a box), asparagus stems and vegetable slice. The vegetable slice was another of Jac’s experiments, made of egg and vegetables – green beans, asparagus tips, potato, carrot and onion. Jac included a nice big dish of smokey barbecue sauce for dipping the chi…
Jac used the last of the roast pork to create a dish she called a “hot Chinese-style pork salad”*. She served hot roast pork pieces in a warm soy and chilli dressing topped with beansprouts and chopped spring onion, on salad greens and carrot. She used lots of dressing so that the salad was very […]
Jac bought a bag of fresh multigrain bread rolls, so I used last of the turkey thigh roast to make us turkey and salad rolls for lunch. In roll number one: turkey, autumn fruit chutney, Kewpie mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. Jac bought a jar of homemade autumn fruit chutney from a weekend market when she […]
My turkey thigh roast love continued the next morning, with three slices of turkey thigh roast and Heinz baked beans for breakfast. Delicious.
