Jac went to Denmark to stay with our friend M over new year’s weekend (yes, I’m still catching up on posts). I stayed home and worked on my website. It was during this particular weekend that I chose my blog theme and started really working on the redesign, so it ended up being a bit […]
I recently published a post featuring tinned mackerel. It’s now tinned sardine’s turn! :D Years ago when I shared a flat with my eldest sister we sometimes cooked this dish for dinner – tinned sardines in tomato sauce with onions, served with rice. When I moved in with Jac, I cooked it for her and […]
Sponsored by Nuffnang The nice people at Nuffnang invited me to take part in a promotional campaign for John West Tuna & Beans. They sent me a free sample of the product and laid down the challenge: to make a meal that is healthy and easy using the Tuna & Beans. :-D I’ll get to […]

My family celebrated Chinese New Year last weekend with a delicious family reunion dinner. This year, Mum cooked just one of the dishes – the must-have chap chye, which consists of cabbage, mushrooms and other fungi, beancurd skin and vermicelli. I’ve loved this dish ever since I was a child. We were all very pleased […]

I had a craving for minchee during the week before Christmas. We didn’t have any pork mince in the freezer, so we used turkey mince instead. Well, it did seem appropriate, with Christmas coming and all. :) In this turkey version, the mince turned out looking quite wormy, but it’s just the way it came […]
Hi guys! I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas. I’ve taken loads of photos over the past few days! My sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay came over for dinner on Christmas eve. Since we knew we’d be consuming lashings of ham, turkey and other meats the next day, we decided to have a seafood […]
I packed our lunches in the Decor Tellfresh Quarters lunch boxes last Friday. I made us four different sandwiches: smoked chicken, spinach and mashed avocado; Swiss cheese and brinjal pickle (plus sliced red onion for Jac); curried hard-boiled egg with cucumber; tuna and mayonnaise mix with lettuce. I packed us each half a hard-boiled egg [……
Last Tuesday night Jac made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. She made the meatballs from scratch but used a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce (not enough time after work to make meatballs AND sauce – hey, I’m not complaining!). I am just amazed and grateful that anyone would come home after working all day and […]
