Having been away for two and bit weeks, Jac couldn’t wait to get back into the kitchen and start cooking. This is what she made for dinner on the day after her return – pasta spirals with bolognese-style sauce. I prefer spaghetti, but we were all out – spirals were the only pasta we had. […]
We picked these homegrown cherry tomatoes off our plant last Tuesday. Perfect for bento! Jac planted these from old cherry tomatoes, which she just threw into the garden bed and left to self-seed. And she told me this evening there are still more cherry tomatoes growing, which will be ready for picking very soon.
I mentioned last week that Jac bought a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts from Sydney Airport – she knows how much I love these, and my younger sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay love them too. She bought a dozen doughnuts so we could all have some (she and me, Juji and Jay). She couldn’t, […]
I threw together this quick and easy stir-fry for my dinner on Monday night as I waited for Jac to get home. Sliced cocktail frankfurts, potato, green beans, onion and garlic with oyster sauce. As I’ve doing a fair bit lately, I pre-cooked the potato using a potato microwaver before adding it to the rest […]
I was a little distracted and excited last Monday, with Jac due to return home in the evening after two and a bit weeks away. I packed myself a bento lunch of leftovers – fried rice and panfried fish. In fact, my bento lunch was pretty much exactly the same as my dinner the night […]
Last Sunday I woke up around 9am, walked to the local deli to buy a copy of the Sunday Times, then came home and cooked myself breakfast – three rashers of bacon, really eggy French toast made with multigrain bread, and panfried golden tomatoes. I poured maple syrup over the French toast (a little maple […]
The last time I bought a takeaway dinner from Taka (150 Barrack St, corner Wellington St, Perth), it was delicious, but not filling enough. I decided not to buy a large sized meal this time though, because the large meals come with miso soup and I didn’t want to carry a cup of hot miso […]
You know what’s better than knowing the weekend starts as soon as I finish work today? Knowing that the weekend starts as soon as I finish work today… as I bite into a bacon-laden toasted sandwich. I recently had a check-up and blood tests to check my blood sugar, thyroid function and cholesterol levels. Well, […]
I had McDonald’s for dinner last Thursday night and bought an extra pack of Chicken McNuggets so I’d have some protein for my bento lunch the next day. Yes, I know McNuggets aren’t the healthiest food item. But I packed lots of vegetables to eat with them, so it wasn’t all bad! I packed blanched […]
Good teriyaki chicken – a small teriyaki chicken and rice from Taka (AU$5.30, Barrack Street, Perth) – tender, moist skin-on chicken with perfectly clumped rice that was a pleasure to eat with chopsticks. Eating this was sheer pleasure. I just wished I’d bought the large size. Bad teriyaki chicken – teriyaki chicken and rice…
