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…
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 […]
Last month, we celebrated Jac’s mum Pattycakes’ birthday with a picnic at Garvey Park, Ascot. It was a warm sunny day and a lovely spot to have a picnic. I hadn’t been there before; Jac has a number of times, picnicking with friends and to watch the Avon Descent (see Garvey Park details at the […]
I posted some family photos from a recent breakfast at my parents’ house. Well, here are the food photos! My cousin K and his family were visiting from England and we had an East meets West breakfast with immediate and extended family, around 20 people. Mum cooked up a big pot of pork rice porridge […]
I met my friend Charlene before work recently for breakfast at Toast in East Perth. Regular readers and Twitter followers will know how much I love this place. I wish I could eat breakfast there every week! Charlene was running late that morning, so I amused myself by taking photos of the lake at Claisebrook […]
Usually at family events I spend most of the time taking photographs. But not just of the food, as most of you would expect – I take lots of photographs of people too. For privacy reasons, the family photographs are only visible to family and friends on my Flickr account, though I have featured the […]
We held an afternoon tea at our house a couple of weekends ago for Jac’s family and friends. It wasn’t a special occasion – Jac decided to have an afternoon tea after one of her cousins teased her for not inviting her over to check out our “new” house after all this time. It’s been […]
Funnily enough, we didn’t plan to eat at Taurus… A month or so ago, Jac went to Hungry Jack’s to grab takeaway for Saturday brunch. She came home with burgers, fries, onion rings and some intriguing information. She had a chat with the HJ’s manager while waiting for our order and mentioned that her other […]
We went to Pancakes at Carillon in Perth recently for breakfast with Jac’s niece and nephew. Max ordered the Mini Stack (AU$5.90) off the kids’ menu, 3 mini pancakes served with a perfect scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. On our table (as on every table in the restaurant) was a tall bottle of […]
