Juji’s special request was for Mum’s baked cheese cake (I’ve posted the recipe before, see this post). Two birthdays, two cheese cakes. Tummies: *grrrrroan* Juji did a great job decorating them, didn’t she? Juji took this close-up of the strawberries and gold kiwi fruit on the top of one of the cheese cakes. I don’t [&…
On Sunday we went to my folks’ for lunch to celebrate my brother and younger sister’s birthdays (27th and 20th respectively). Laksa was on the menu, as was lots and lots and LOTS of chicken. My brother Mark is also known affectionately as “Chicken Boy” because of his love of eating chicken – the abundance […]
We’ve had nibblies, we’ve had LOTS of meat, we’ve had salads and shishkebabs. Oh, and we’ve had butter (hah). But my favourite photo from the day is this bowl of lollies. I just like the bright colours and the way they look so rubbery. I love the little red frog’s protruding round eyes. Jac wanted […]
I took photos of the little boys’ lunches before they started eating. This is what Moritz (aged 6+) had for lunch: a rissole, a lamp chop, a sausage and a little bit of rice salad. Oh, and a little blob of tomato sauce. And this is what Fynn (aged 3+) had for lunch: a sausage […]
It was a BYO meat barbie. Dan had a couple of barbies on the go, and they were soon loaded up with meat. Friends and family can see photos on Flickr of blokes (Dan and his mates) standing around the barbies holding beers and tongs, doing what blokes do at barbecues. :) Here are rissoles […]
Today, we went to a barbie at Lou and Dan’s, to celebrate Dan’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN! When we arrived Lou was just putting the nibblies out on the table, so I whipped out the camera and got to work right away. On one side, pate and mini toasts: On the other side, a bowl […]
Pattycakes loves sweets, and we encouraged her to order whichever dessert took her fancy. She ordered the banana and passionfruit crepes. They came with a plump strawberry garnish and a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream. I had a mouthful – it was beautiful! Really REALLY sweet and passionfruity-bananary. Jac ordered the trio of […]
Yesterday, we took Jac’s mum (we call her Pattycakes) out to dinner at The Witch’s Cauldron in Subiaco for her birthday. We started off with a drink each: a glass of house red for Pattycakes, a glass of cranberry juice for Jac and a glass of Diet Coke for me. Yeah yeah yeah boring! I’ll […]
Mum’s birthday cake was homemade by the wife of one her work colleagues. It was covered with thick, smooth, rich butter cream icing.* Oh my god, it was gooooooood. It was so good I actually ate a whole piece. Usually I just have a bite out of Jac’s (part of the secret to not becoming […]
