This was barramundi, bought frozen and cooked to perfection by Jac. She panfried the fish pieces in olive oil with a little butter so they had just a hint of a crispy crust on the outside. The flesh was delicate, moist and sweet. Initially, I didn’t think I’d want to eat so much salad, but […]
Jac had a craving for pork ribs recently but didn’t have the time to make a marinade, so she just used a bottled smokey barbecue sauce instead, rubbing the pork ribs generously in the sauce before baking them in the oven with a few potatoes. We ate the potatoes with butter, salt and pepper. Jac […]
So this is what I ate for lunch in my first week at my new job: Monday – a chicken kebab with tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise and barbecue sauceAll kebabs come with your choice of two sauces – I really wanted garlic sauce as one of them, but as I had a meeting in the afternoon, […]
These were frozen mini pies I oven-baked when Juji, Jay and A came over for afternoon tea. There were three varieties of pie: chunky beef, chicken and mushroom, and lamb and rosemary. Sorry, no innards shot – I did take a few photos of the pies’ innards, but they didn’t turn out so well. The […]
In early April, my family held a “full moon” celebration for the newest member of the family, my niece Zoe, the second child of my brother and my sister-in-law. Regular and long-time readers will remember the full moon celebration we held for Ruby about a year and a half ago. Zoe’s full moon followed the […]
My last day at work was also my birthday, and I wanted something really good for my morning tea. Something good meaning something served hot – with pastry! Morning teaI organised a platter of sausage rolls and spinach and ricotta parcels. I brought a container of tomato sauce from home, for dipping. Tupperware fans will […]
One of my last lunches with workmate J was at at Munch Terrace (230 Hay St, corner of Bennett St, East Perth). We shared the same craving that day: laksa, laksa, LAKSA! We ordered the combination laksa. In the large bowls of spicy curry soup were a mixture of egg noodles and rice noodles, with […]
On Tuesday of my final week at my old job, I facilitated a workshop at my old office in Subiaco. I simply could not miss my chance to have lunch afterwards at my old lunching haunt, Toraya Sushi (Shop 8 Subiaco Square, 29 Station Street, Subiaco). I was pleased to see that the waiter who […]
This is something I’ll definitely miss from my old job – birthday afternoon teas from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie with my now ex-team mates. A cup of tea, something sweet and decadent, chatting and laughing, and forgetting about the stresses of work for just a little while. This was workmate R’s birthday celebration. We’d se…
The food I loved the sushi cone so much I had another for lunch the following week. Workmate J and I went into Perth city at lunch time to grab takeaway lunches from Jaws Temaki Myer again. I got myself a double chicken lunch – a small teriyaki chicken and rice, and another chicken karaage […]
