An interesting dinner which I enjoyed! Ovenfried crumbed chicken fingers, homemade potato wedges, ovenbaked roma tomatoes and an experimental mushroom and carrot dish, all served with aioli for dipping. The experimental mushroom and carrot dish was cooked in a sauce made with cream of chicken soup. Aioli is my all-time favourite dipping sauce for p…
Jac panfried these pork steaks and served them with stir-fried noodles with mushrooms and cabbage, topped with pickled green chillies. We buy big jars of pickled green chillies from the asian supermarket – they are so good with so many things. Jac loves to eat them with Indomie mi goreng. If you like pickled green […]
I mentioned some time ago on the TFP Facebook page that we bought a dishwasher. The cats loved the dishwasher. Well, the dishwasher box. We bought the dishwasher on a late night Thursday at the shops but didn’t get it installed until over a week later. In the meantime, the cats had a great time […]
I bought this takeaway lunch from the curry bar at IGA supermarket on Royal St in East Perth: basmati rice, eggplant curry, cream potatoes and a piece of salmon with a mango glaze. I’m not one for fruit sauces with meat /fish, so I was surprised at how yummy it was. I hadn’t realised it […]

A simple, tasty dinner Jac made: panfried chicken thigh fillets, rubbed with white pepper and garlic salt, leftover panfried potatoes from the weekend, and leftover salad with the last of the antipasto mix (all leftovers from Visitors and prawns). Jac blanched the broccoli and asparagus so they were tender and so beautifully bright green. Just [&he…
The cats like to sit in or on the spa bath in the ensuite. We keep the blinds open so the sun shines through the frosted glass window. It gets nice and warm there in the afternoon. Wherever we place a rug or blanket you can be sure there’ll be a cat sitting on it […]
Garlic prawns and sparkling wineOur friends S and D came over with their two kids to see the new house. They had some exciting news of their own – their offer on a house had been accepted. They brought over a bottle of sparkling wine and we drank a toast to both our new houses. […]
Workmate J and I decided to take advantage of a sunny day and walk to Munch Terrace to get their Friday special – nasi lemak. It was as good as ever, with sambal, a large deep-fried battered chicken wing, ikan bilis (little fish) with peanuts, fried egg, achar (pickled vegetables), otak-otak, and of course, a […]
