Still listening to my cravings, I walked to our local fish and chippie recently and got myself fish and chips and calamari rings. I like fish and chips just salted, no vinegar. I get red and blotchy when vinegar touches my skin (yes, I know – ewww!).
A weekend breakfast I made for myself while Jac was still away: two scrambled eggs on a lightly toasted English muffin. With freshly cracked black pepper on the eggs, of course. People often comment on the yellowness of the eggs we eat. We buy free range eggs, which usually have lovely, bright orange yolks.
I was craving a McChicken recently and went to McDonald’s and got one. Sometimes I don’t try to fight the cravings – they just hang around or come back even more powerful than before. The McChicken was great, but the fries were sad and soggy. Sad, but that seems to be the way most of […]
My workmate R brought in a batch of cloud cakes for everyone to enjoy. I didn’t actually have one myself, so I can’t tell you what they were like. But the rest of the team loved them, and they were all eaten by the end of the day. I know the ‘clouds’ were meringue. Maybe […]
For the second day in a row, I went out to breakfast with a friend. This time, I met up with my friend Chad at Etro (49 King St, Perth). I’ve enjoyed a rather large fry-up here previously. Etro’s a good place for breakfast before work as it opens at 7am. Not enough places open […]
I met up with L for breakfast on a recent Thursday morning before work. L used to work with me, but now has another job with a different organisation. She looked very well, relaxed and happy. I think her job change has been very good for her. We went to Shots Espresso Cafe (528 Hay […]
It’s probably not a good idea to order Chinese home delivery when you are feeling really really REALLY hungry*. Because this is what happens! Don’t worry, I didn’t get through all of it on my own in one sitting! I’ve done this before when Jac’s been away – I bought a stack of home delivery […]
I forgot to defrost some meat to cook for protein for my bento (I’d intended to get some chicken out of the freezer but simply forgot), so I boiled an egg and panfried some mushrooms. I packed a small lunch with the intention of supplementing with a cup of soup or something. I used one […]
Recently, my mum gave me these puff pastry squares with a container of chicken and potato curry. As she explained, they’re her “cheat’s curry puffs”. She’s made these for workmates and friends recently, and thought I’d enjoy them too. With the pastry warmed in the oven, and the curry zapped in the microwave, thes…
After dinner, I cooked up a batch of fried rice for my bento lunch the next day, with sliced Plumrose brand cocktail frankfurts, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, garlic and egg. I packed a little salad to go with the fried rice – well, not that much of a salad, just rocket and spinach leaves with […]
