For a recent dinner, Jac cooked barramundi fillets in the oven. She seasoned the fish with salt and pepper, wrapped the fillets in foil with a little butter and topped them with lemon wedges. She’d been craving a creamy vegetable dish, and made a cauliflower, broccoli and peas mornay. She stirred the vegetables through a […]
Here’s a recent Sunday breakfast: fried sliced bratwurst sausage, kaya on toast, and a fried egg. I’ve previously shared Jac’s tips for perfect sunny side up eggs: how to cook an egg sunny side up. The egg yolk was perfectly gooey, the sausage chewy with deliciously crisp edges, and the sweet toast went really well […]
This was a very simple dinner Jac cooked recently – sweet and sour chicken and vegetables, served on rice. The sweet and sour sauce came out of a jar – Kan Tong. Jac used pieces of chicken thigh meat and carrot, cauliflower, green capsicum and onion. I must admit I wasn’t expecting much from this […]
It was Jac’s birthday on the 13th (it was a quiet one this year, more in a post still to come); I went shopping on my own on the weekend before to buy her birthday presents. I started shopping around 10:30am; by the time I thought to come up for air and have something to […]
At Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) recently, Jac had a teriyaki fish salad from the Japanese stall. It’s very nice, but a very small meal indeed. I knew she’d need something else… I had been craving chee cheong fun (fresh rice flour roll) and yong tow foo (stuffed beancurd and vegetables) from Fook [&helli…
The dinner A couple of Thursday nights ago, Jac bought a box of Darshan mini savoury rolls for our dinner. We’ve eaten the Darshan chicken rolls before, and really like them. Jac thought these could go well with salad, and I could take any leftovers to work for lunch the next day. The mini savoury […]
A recent late lunch on a work day – chicken karaage, rice and salad from Sushi@Royal (Shop 2, 131 Royal St, East Perth). The fried chicken is always delicious and juicy and leaves me with greasy lips.
For lunch last Wednesday, I packed myself a hard-boiled egg and salad (spinach leaves, cucumber, mushrooms, red capsicum, and blanched green beans), with a rolled-up slice of Jarlsberg Light cheese, sliced sweet gherkin pickles and a few semi-dried tomatoes. I also made French toast squares, and packed a little bottle of maple syrup to go [……
Jac told me in the morning that we were having salt and pepper squid for dinner, and I looked forward to it all day. It was great! Here’s my plate: salt and pepper squid, salad and a dish of chilli jam. The squid came out of a box – it was Signature brand frozen salt […]
The dinner This was a very simple but wonderfully delicious dinner. Jac made chicken escalopes – she used a meat mallet and pounded skinless boneless chicken thighs until they were quite flat. She seasoned them well with salt and black pepper, then panfried them. She served the chicken with steamed broccolini and asparagus and corn […]
