Another takeaway lunch from the bain marie – sweet and sour chicken with stir-fried vegetables and rice. Very garlicky, just what I like. This time I was pleased with the amount of tofu I was given. I love fried tofu! The chicken dish was… interesting. It was made using some sort of chicken patties – […]
I’ve really been eating a lot of SPAM fried rice lately, haven’t I? I made this batch of fried rice with green beans, corn kernels, garlic, egg and turkey SPAM. I packed us each fried rice, orange slices and prunes. Another possibly cryptic cartoon on Jac’s bento note – can anyone tell me why the […]
Another sandwich bento! Our sandwiches, left to right: leftover salmon pattie, lettuce and tartare oven-roasted eggplant, sweet potato, chutney and mayo curried egg and lettuce english ham, cucumber, french mustard. In Jac’s bento note, I labeled the roasted eggplant, sweet potato, chutney and mayo “highly experimental” – I …
Jac bought these crumbed lamb schnitzels from the supermarket. The crumbed coating was deliciously crunchy and really tasty. It was nice having crumbed lamb for a change, instead of the usual chicken. The lamb tasted so good that again, no sauce was necessary.
DinnerJac made patties using tinned salmon and mashed potato. She served them with steamed broccoli and carrot. I ate my salmon patties with tomato sauce. BentoJac had made some mini salmon patties specially for the next day’s bento. I packed us mini patties with little containers of Newman’s Own Southwest Dressing as dip, potato salad,…
For bento the next day, I sliced up the last chicken thigh left over from Mothers Day lunch and served it with hard-boiled egg, garden salad, potato salad, and bread and butter. In Jac’s lunch I packed sliced radish and red onion. Radish is another vegetable I’ve never liked. Do any of you like eating […]
On Mothers Day, we enjoyed a late lunch with Jac’s family. We brought bunches of flowers for the mums. Jac and I prepared the first course. We’d marinated chicken thighs pieces in a mixture of half hoisin sauce, half oyster sauce and the juice of an orange. The marinade smelled a little peculiar to me […]
It was workmate H’s birthday, and she brought in a big batch of cupcakes topped with icing and Clinkers. Sharp-eyed readers will notice some of the cupcakes had TWO Clinkers on top. Needless to say, those didn’t last long! Here is my chosen cupcake before it met with my teeth. The cupcakes were initially stashed […]
A recent home cooked breakfast – Jac panfried the mushrooms in butter and toasted the bread. I made the scrambled eggs. I spread kaya thickly on my toast – yum! In egg-related news, we’ve been discussing keeping chooks in our backyard again. We had three isa brown hens a few years ago, and their eggs […]
Here’s that delicious chicken kebab with runny egg and garlic sauce I mentioned in my recent chicken kebab post. It smelled absolutely wonderful, and its warmth felt lovely in my hands as I took greedy, garlicky bites. In the kebab: chicken, egg, tomato, lettuce, loads of garlic sauce – and a little salt and pepper. […]
