For a recent Saturday breakfast, Jac cooked bubble and squeak using the leftover roast potatoes, cabbage and peas. I like eating bubble and squeak with lashings of tomato sauce. I took this photo before my liberal saucing, though, so you’d be able to see the bubble and squeak properly. :) We went to shops at […]
Dinner a couple of Friday nights ago: chicken thighs pounded flat with a meat mallet, then rubbed in celery salt and panfried. Jac served these chicken escalopes on a bed of lettuce, with fresh tomato and cucumber. She cubed up the last of the leftover roasted vegetables, and sprinkled dried chives on top. We ate […]
Last Friday morning, I met up with my friend Chad and had breakfast at 44 King St in Perth. I haven’t been there for years – I think the last time I went to 44 King St, I was in my early twenties. A workmate and I went there after work. It was a hot […]
Another recent meal at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie – thanks, Aussie Tourist :)). I had char kway teow from Penang Foods. Jac had a salmon sashimi set from the Japanese stall, which comes with vegetable and prawn tempura, California roll sushi, and salad. Sorry, not many words tonight – I’m very tired. […
When I got home last Wednesday night, I smelled something wonderful cooking. “We’re having roast pork and vegies,” Jac told me. Fantastic! Here’s the chunk of roasted pork, resting before Jac carved it. She roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut pumpkin and carrot. Here’s the roast pork after Jac carved off slices…
The homemade chicken and vegetable patties with chilli jam made such a delicious combination that I didn’t hesitate to do it all over again the very next day. We didn’t have much by way of carbs or veg in the fridge, so I had to improvise. I cooked up a packet of Maggi chicken flavoured […]
Ever since being sick on new year’s eve, Jac’s been staying away from heavy meals, rich and fatty foods and red meat. We celebrated her birthday last week with lots of presents, a simple dinner at Nando’s and a nice walk afterwards. She didn’t want a cake, so I didn’t make one. :) We shared […]
Sorry guys, Jac was still not in a bento place so I didn’t pack her any lunches this past week. She did, however, make me some mini chicken and vegetable patties for my bento. She used most of the chicken mince to make our curried chicken mince and vegetables dinner, but set aside a batch […]
The Continental “Hearty Dutch curry & rice” soup mix made a reappearance in this recent meal cooked by Jac, with chicken mince, carrot, cabbage and green beans. The last time Jac used the Dutch curry mix, she served it with mashed potato. This time, we ate the curried mince and vegetables with rice. A very […]
This was my bento lunch last Monday: panfried salt and pepper chicken thigh with salad – lettuce, grape tomatoes, mushrooms and semi-sundried tomatoes, with cubes of roasted sweet potato. For added colour and texture, I mixed some leftover vegetable spirals into the salad. This was another lunch I enjoyed cold.
