I forgot to defrost some meat to cook for protein for my bento (I’d intended to get some chicken out of the freezer but simply forgot), so I boiled an egg and panfried some mushrooms. I packed a small lunch with the intention of supplementing with a cup of soup or something. I used one […]
After dinner, I cooked up a batch of fried rice for my bento lunch the next day, with sliced Plumrose brand cocktail frankfurts, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, garlic and egg. I packed a little salad to go with the fried rice – well, not that much of a salad, just rocket and spinach leaves with […]
Dinner I ate rice with SPAM, vegetables (green beans, grape tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms) and garlic, cooked in the wok with oyster sauce. I sliced the garlic into long shards – see the two long pieces of garlic on top, in the photo? After dinner, I panfried a couple of chicken thighs, which I’d rubbed with […]
Dinner For one of my dinners while Jac was away, I stir-fried chicken, baby corn, mushrooms, bok choy and green beans with lots of garlic. I would’ve loved some tofu in there as well (or maybe even tofu instead of chicken), but didn’t have time to go to the shops to buy some. Oh well, […]
After my SPAM and egg and baked beans and corn with rice dinner, I cooked up a batch of fried rice for my next day’s bento lunch. I fried up cubes of SPAM until they had crispy edges, and added chopped green beans and garlic to the SPAM in the wok. I threw the corn […]
I’m still posting meals from before Jac went away! The dinner Jac grabbed us takeaway Japanese for dinner from the International Food Hall in East Victoria Park. Jac got herself a large serve of grilled unagi (eel) and rice. She got me a large teriyaki chicken and rice. It was a glorious sight for a […]
I wasn’t able to make it to a barbecue with Jac’s family recently, but Jac’s brother Brad (remember the Christmas BBQ meats whisperer? :)) and his fiancee Kelsie sent Jac home with a little alfoil package for me – inside, half a dozen chilli and garlic prawns. They smelled wonderful, and I ate one cold, […]
I made us sandwiches for lunch a couple of Thursdays ago, packing them in our Tupperware Sandwich Keepers. Jac’s sandwiches, left to right: Hard-boiled egg and mayonnaise mix, with cucumber Sliced turkey breast, lettuce and St Dalfour blueberry with cranberry preserve Sliced Turkey breast, lettuce and Christmas onion jam Vegemite, quite thick…
The dinner I cooked this dinner: a stir-fry of macaroni, chicken thigh strips, sugar snap peas, baby corn, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and garlic with oyster sauce and soy sauce. I’d marinated the chicken (three boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into strips), with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, a teaspoon of sugar, white pepper, a [&helli…
The dinner Jac panfried Nile perch fillets and served them with salad. She bought the fish fillets frozen; they turned out lovely. This is another one of the meaty, white-fleshed fish I enjoy so much. The bento I woke on Monday morning to rumbling thunder and flashing lightning. I think a loud thunder crash woke […]
