I said I felt like bangers and mash, so Jac cooked us sausages, garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables (broccoli and snowpeas). When the sausages are juicy and meaty and seasoned to perfection (thank you, Mr or Ms Butcher!), I don’t need any sauce. These were delicious, especially with Jac’s fluffy, garlicky mashed potatoes…
A busy day meant a late takeaway lunch eaten in a hurry – stir-fried vegetables and tofu with mee goreng. Not bad, but I wish they’d given me more tofu.
I think I’ll be eating chicken kebabs every now and then for lunch, because they are just so good. I’ve been resisting the urge to order them with garlic sauce because I know just how powerfully garlicky the sauce is. Without garlic sauce as an option, I order my kebabs with barbecue sauce and mayonnaise. […]
Every time I eat a delicious deep-fried dinner of fish and chips, calamari, prawns and scallops, I wish deep-fried food wasn’t so bad for me. That’s all.
It’s been a while since we got dinner from Charcoal Chicken. I stopped by the store on my way home from work recently and grabbed us a cream dinner each and a chicken caesar to share. The cream dinner consists of a quarter chicken, potatoes in cream gravy, and peas. The cream potatoes used to […]
My bento lunch the next day – with more SPAM to use up, I made SPAM stars and fried rice*. The fried rice was very simple as usual – leftover rice, green beans, garlic and egg, flavoured with soy sauce. I made the stars using a cookie cutter. Feeling somewhat uninspired by what was in […]
My bento lunch the next day: my favourite easy fried rice, made with SPAM, green beans and garlic. As usual, I flavoured the rice with a little oyster sauce, soy sauce and black pepper. In the other bento box compartment, red seedless grapes. This batch of grapes was wonderful – firm, juicy and sweet. Jac […]
We had some bacon in the fridge to use up- so Jac chopped it into little pieces and fried it with mushrooms, garlic and spring onions (another thing in the fridge that needed to be used up!). She told me she’d use this mix in an omelette for dinner the next night. Mmmm, the anticipation! […]
The dinnerJac bought a turkey rolled roast with apple stuffing from the supermarket. She served it with gravy and vegetables done three ways: cauliflower cheese, steamed (green vegetables – snowpeas and cabbage), and roasted (root vegetables – potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, whole onions and carrots, all roasted in the oven at the s…
A few weeks ago, I came home from work to the most delicious smells in the kitchen – Jac had cooked us an Indian-style dinner. I’ve said “Indian-style” as Jac made no claims to its authenticity, having had help from jars! It was great, though! She made a chicken curry and a vegetable curry, and […]
