I loved having that chunk of leftover turkey thigh roast in the fridge after Christmas. This was a very simple dinner I whipped up for myself: slices of turkey thigh roast, microwaved until popping hot, served on Maggi two minute noodles (minus the broth). So simple (and yes, lacking greens!) but very very tasty.
Note: For those of you who asked – I’ve updated the prawn leftovers post with the recipe for the seafood cocktail sauce. Enjoy! On the Sunday night following Christmas, I made a stir-fry dish for bento: macaroni, snow peas, cherry tomatoes, champignons, onions and cubes of Christmas turkey thigh roast, flavoured with garlic and oyster […
On the Sunday after Christmas, Jac and I went out to lunch with our friend M (remember this delicious vegetarian barbecue?). We went to the Broken Hill Hotel (314 Albany Highway, Victoria Park). It’s a pub Jac’s wanted to check out for some time now – and I’m glad we did. Jac and M enjoyed […]
I had a craving for minchee during the week before Christmas. We didn’t have any pork mince in the freezer, so we used turkey mince instead. Well, it did seem appropriate, with Christmas coming and all. :) In this turkey version, the mince turned out looking quite wormy, but it’s just the way it came […]
On the Friday before Christmas, eight of us chipped in to get pizza from Stuzzico. We got three “half” pizzas, which are 75cm long. People chipped in anywhere from $5 to $10. Those of us who tend to eat more than the others chose to chip in more. It’s only fair, after all. :) This […]
On the Friday morning of the week before Christmas, I toasted myself a bagel for breakfast. I spread butter and kaya on it. Mmmm… I just love biting into a warm chewy bagel. As I munched on my bagel, Jac assembled platters for her work Christmas party. She volunteered to be in charge of the […]
Another pre-Christmas post! This one, lunch with work colleagues at the Grosvenor Hotel (339 Hay St, Perth). TC had the Morrocan chicken panini – the bread was toasted and filled with grilled fillets of Morrocan spiced chicken, as well as bacon, cheese, avocado, tomato, lettuce and ranch sauce, served with seasoned beer battered chips ($AU$18…
On new year’s eve last year, I was on holidays with Jac. In the morning, we were in Newcastle, where I tasted a curry tiger pie from Harry’s Cafe de Wheels for the first time. This is one of my favourite images and memories from my 2008 posts (click on the photo if you’d like […]
I said I didn’t have any plans for new year’s eve/day, but actually I do have a plan – to stay home, relax and blog! Christmas has thrown my postings a little out of whack. The next few posts were drafted up pre-Christmas. This one’s my bento lunch from the 22nd of December. With most […]
