On a recent Sunday night, we had panfried swordfish steaks with coleslaw with mixed lettuce and grape tomatoes. I took this opportunity to try out the lemon myrtle dressing we got for Christmas – I’d never tried lemon myrtle before. It was yummy! Surprisingly tangy and really quite delicious! Jac loved it too. It went […]
At a recent lunch at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) Jac was hoping to get fresh rice paper rolls from the Vietnamese stall, but they were still closed for the holidays. Her next choice was a teriyaki fish salad from the Japanese stall, but it was 11:30am when we got there, and they […]
The dinner Jac made up a platter of salad (mixed lettuce, mushrooms, cucumber, tomatoes), coleslaw, pickles (sweet gherkins and pickled onions) and fruit (grapes, apple and nectarine). She panfried these beautiful tiny lamb steaks, which I’d bought sometime ago (they’d been in the freezer) – I’d thought they’d be perfe…

This post is especially for Nicole – I know how much you like posts that feature pies! I recently ate a delicious chicken and vegetable pie and a couple of samosas bought from the bakery at the Bentley Centre. As usual, once I was at home, I had to eat them off a plate rather […]
We didn’t do anything exciting for new year’s eve. We were happy to just stay home. Jac did a bit of cooking and I played my Nintendo DS (I’m currently hopelessly addicted to Animal Crossing: Wild World). We had a relaxing evening with a delicious dinner (the good bit), followed by um, something not so […]

The potato salad was my usual quick and easy combination of a microwaved potato cut into cubes, seasoned with a little salt and pepper, then combined with Kewpie mayonnaise, thinly sliced cucumber, carrot and spring [&hel…
A recent dinner: beef chipolatas and salad (lettuce, orange capsicum, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs and corn kernels, with a blob of smokey barbecue sauce to dip the chipolatas into. I cracked black pepper over the eggs and tomatoes. These chipolatas were the longest ones I’ve had – I reckon they were too…
My bento lunch the day after our pork ribs barbecue: leftover salad and hard-boiled egg, pork ribs (taken off the bone so they’d be less messy to eat at work), with a piece of Christmas nutty cake, green seedless grapes, and a piece of tasty cheddar cheese.
It was a stinking hot day on Monday 29 December, so Jac decided to keep the heat out of the house and cook dinner outdoors on the barbecue. I got home from work to find Jac assembling a garden salad with mixed lettuce, cucumber, snow peas, cherry tomatoes, orange capsicum and sliced hard-boiled eggs. She’d […]
