It was C’s birthday last Friday, and she bought a selection of sweets from Crown Caffii (formerly Le Croissant on the Cove, Shop 24 108 Royal St East Perth) to share for afternoon tea. There was a cannoli, a chocolate eclair, a chocolate sponge slice, a florentine and a chocolate hedgehog slice (under the florentine). […]
I met my friend C for breakfast last Friday, at Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St – Cnr Plain St, next to The Royal pub). It was a chilly morning and we were among the first customers that day, arriving at a little past 7am. It didn’t take long for the cafe to […]
I was in the mood for something from Noodlebox for lunch on Thursday, but I packed Jac a bento lunch. I gave her basically the same lunch as I’d had the day before: meatballs and ranch dip, salad, marinated mushrooms and watermelon. I also packed her a mini Babybel cheese and some bread and butter […]
Jac didn’t need bento last Wednesday, so this is what I packed for myself. I used the two-box combo again. French toast and fresh fruit (strawberries and watermelon), meatballs with ranch dressing for dipping, marinated mushrooms (leftover from the broccoli salad we had on Monday night), and salad with a couple of leftover potato wedges [&hel…
Last Tuesday night Jac made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. She made the meatballs from scratch but used a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce (not enough time after work to make meatballs AND sauce – hey, I’m not complaining!). I am just amazed and grateful that anyone would come home after working all day and […]
For last Tuesday’s bento lunch I used the barbecue-flavour chicken strips Jac cooked on Sunday afternoon, along with leftover coleslaw, broccoli and marinated mushroom salad, and sweet potato wedges. I’d also asked Jac to bake me an extra potato or two so I could boof up the salad with it. I used a little lettuce […]
We bought a couple of ham steaks recently, and Jac asked me what I’d like to eat with them. I said I’d love grilled pineapple rings and coleslaw. Of course this was no problem at all for Jac to do. :) This was the coleslaw Jac had made on Sunday afternoon. I may have mentioned […]
I packed the panfried lemon chicken strips and coleslaw Jac cooked the day before in our bento boxes on Monday. This was my bento box: To go with the chicken and coleslaw, I threw together quick salad. Here’s Jac’s bento box: I really can’t recommend this chicken recipe enough. It’s simple to prepare, and really […]
Last Sunday afternoon, Jac did a little cooking for our bento lunches. I’d seen this recipe for panfried lemon chicken nuggets at Just Bento, which has become one of my favourite bento blogs to visit. I thought the chicken sounded delicious, and Jac asked me to print it out so she could give it a […]
I tried to think of something to say about these photos, but you know what? I couldn’t think of anything. Well, maybe just “it was yummy”.
