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 […]
The dinnerJac bought a turkey rolled roast with apple stuffing from the supermarket. She served it with gravy and vegetables done three ways: cauliflower cheese, steamed (green vegetables – snowpeas and cabbage), and roasted (root vegetables – potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, whole onions and carrots, all roasted in the oven at the s…
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 […]
DinnerThis was one of the best takeaway dinners we’ve had! The food came from Italian restaurant Casa del’ Amici (“The Vale Shopping Centre”, Shop 23, 393 Warton Road, Canning Vale). We’ve eaten there previously and really enjoyed it. Some of you may remember my intention to try their arancini and homemade risotto the …
DinnerThis was a delicious dinner of turkey steaks with mushroom gravy, steamed vegetables (broccoli and green beans) and roasted vegetables (butternut pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, onions and carrots). We cheated on the gravy and used a packet one – I believe this was a Gravox mushroom gravy. I’ve tasted some surprisingly tasty packet…

My lunch is on the left, Jac’s is on the right – lamb meatballs and salad (mixed salad greens, blanched green beans, baby roma tomatoes and carrot sticks, with some green seedless grapes thrown in with the salad, and a container of aioli as dressing/dip for the vegies). You’ll probably notice that Jac only had […]
This was a bento lunch I packed for myself – a sliced panfried chicken thigh on a bed of mixed salad greens, with baby roma tomatoes, Always Fresh marinated mushrooms and oven-baked baby eggplant. Oh, and seedless green grapes for something sweet. Jac cooked the chicken and eggplant for me. All I did was assemble […]
With Jac still away, there was just me to eat the bread – so I made more sandwiches for lunch. I used 6 slices of bread, and ate one of the sandwiches at morning tea time. Along with the sandwiches, I packed a small piece of dark fruitcake and some spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes. […]
A sandwich bento I made for myself while Jac was still away, featuring two different kinds of chicken sandwiches: chicken, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise and wholegrain mustard, and chicken, cucumber, swiss cheese and Beerenberg green tomato pickle. I’d rubbed the boneless skinless chicken thighs with garlic salt and white pepper and panfried th…
