Indian takeaway dinner
A recent takeaway dinner from Maya Masala – butter chicken and chicken biryani. There was enough for dinner and a small breakfast the next morning. Very tasty, both times! :)

Jac didn’t need a packed lunch last Thursday. I wasn’t going to bother with bento, but I couldn’t help myself – I packed myself lunch at the last minute: a hard-boiled egg, salad, mini jam sandwiches and papaya. The salad consisted of mixed salad greens, cucumber, mushroom, sugar snap peas, red capsicum and baby carrots. [&h…
We celebrated Jac’s niece Savannah’s birthday with a family dinner last Wednesday. Jac and I made savoury eggs (also known as devilled eggs), specially requested by the birthday girl herself. We weren’t able to get quail eggs this time, so we used ordinary chicken eggs. We ran out of curry powder, so the flavour of […]
Last Tuesday was Melbourne Cup day. Just like many other office people all over Australia that day, we had sweeps, watched the race and enjoyed a good lunch. This year, the team all chipped in for pizza and salad. J made the salad – English spinach, mixed salad greens, tomatoes and Greek feta, with a […]
I made us a sandwich bento for lunch last Monday. We had a barbecue chook to use up, so I made two variations of chicken and mayo mix. The sandwiches were (from left to right, and then, the sandwich that’s on top): Chicken and mayo mix #1 (chicken, mayo, tomato sauce, sundried tomato mustard) with […]
Another quick and delicious SPAM meal I cooked for myself recently – turkey SPAM cubes stir-fried with bok choy, mushrooms, garlic and soy sauce, served on rice.
She’s eating more dim sum, that’s what! :-D See this post at our friend E’s site and the rest of the food at E’s Flickr account.
A couple of Sundays ago, Jac and I met up with Chad and her fiancé J for dim sum at Emma’s Seafood and Dim Sum Restaurant (886 Albany Highway Victoria Park). We’ve seen the lines outside the restaurant on weekends and wanted to be sure we’d be early enough to get a table right away […]
Here’s a recent variation on my old favourite of SPAM and egg with rice and baked beans. As I fried the SPAM in the pan, I also fried mushrooms, which I’d sliced in half. When SPAM and mushrooms were nicely browned, I poured into the pan a couple of eggs that I’d beaten with soy […]
We recently took Savannah and Max, Jac’s niece and nephew, to the Canning Show. It’s a much smaller version of the Royal Show (see this post featuring Royal Show food), with all the usual things – showbags, rides, fairy floss and dagwood dogs. We didn’t go to the Royal Show this year; we’re due to […]
