Jac marinated chicken marylands with barbecue seasoning, then baked them in the oven. Interesting fact Here in Australia we call the cut of chicken that includes the entire chicken leg – thigh and drumstick – a chicken maryland. In the US “chicken Maryland” refers to a specific dish that originated in the state of Maryland. …
We celebrated my niece Ruby’s 3rd birthday recently with brunch with family and friends at my brother and sister-in-law’s home. If you think I’ve been talking about birthdays a lot lately, that’s because in my family it’s birthday season from August to October and a couple of Jac’s family members have their birth…
This was a recent meal from the food court at Carousel Shopping Centre. First, we shared a small curry combination from Maya Masala: green bean curry, butter chicken and lamb rogan josh. I love butter chicken gravy – when it’s very good, it’s drinkable, and I can eat rice soaked in butter chicken gravy without […]
Last month, Jac, my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay went to dinner at Divido Italian restaurant in Mount Hawthorn to celebrate Jay’s birthday. Divido’s been on our list of restaurants to check out ever since the Largesse Dining event in May. That night, the third course was the porcini and spinach rotolo by Jason […]
After Pattycakes’ birthday lunch picnic, Jac and I went to my parents’ house for my Mum’s birthday afternoon tea. Yes, it was a great eating day! Mum was out on the patio frying up a batch of mini pork meatballs on the barbecue’s wok burner. These mini meatballs were especially for my nieces Ruby and […]

A sunny Sunday morning. I’d wanted to sleep in but Jac was keen to go to swap meet at Centro Maddington car park (run by the Rotary Club Thornlie every Sunday from 6am). After swap meet, with a pile of newly purchased secondhand cookbooks on the back seat (a successful outing, by Jac’s standards), we […]
Regular readers know how much I love chicken. A good chicken sandwich or chicken roll is one of my favourite lunches. The chicken strip roll from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth) is always tasty. They make it to order – they slice up a crusty bread roll, add butter, mayonnaise, lettuce, […]
So finally, more than three weeks and many hung parliament jokes later, we have an election result. And also belatedly, here are the photos of my sausage sizzle from election day. On election morning, we went grocery shopping and ignored all temptations to grab a bite to eat while at the shops, saving ourselves for […]
Jac was at the shops, looking for some dinner inspiration. She happened to walk past Lenards chicken shop, saw these things called “Lenny pops”, crumbed chicken on sticks, and knew straight away that I would like them. If it resembles kids’ food or fair food, it’s a pretty safe bet I’ll like it! Jac served […]
