Last Monday, my workmate R turned up to work with cupcakes which she’d made to sell for RSPCA Cupcake Day. There were three kinds of cupcake – hazelnut (iced with Nutella and garnished with whole hazelnuts), lemon (topped with cream cheese icing and Hello Kittie lollies) and chocolate chip cookie (topped with crumbled up cookies [&helli…
I returned to work last Monday after my week off. I didn’t feel like having a bento lunch, but Jac was keen on having sandwiches, so I made her a sandwich bento box to take to work. In addition to the sandwiches, I included a quick salad of English spinach, rocket, grape tomatoes, mushrooms and […]
I’m not sure who brought it up first, but during breakfast my sister Juji, her boyfriend Jay, Jac and I talked about a French bakery nearby on Mends Street. After our salty and savoury cooked breakfasts, we were quite keen to have something sweet – the four of us made a sweets stop at that […]
My family got together to celebrate my mum’s birthday with breakfast last Sunday at The Boatshed restaurant (Coode St Jetty, Coode St, South Perth). Here are some of the breakfasts devoured at our table: Juji’s traditional breakfast (AU$23.50): sausages, bacon, tomato, ciabatta toast, hash browns and two eggs, scrambled. My brother̵…
Here’s some food from Carousel Shopping Centre food hall we enjoyed a couple of Saturdays ago. We started with spring rolls and a skewer of chicken satay with peanut sauce. It wasn’t really authentic-tasting satay – it was just fried chicken on a stick, but very succulent and pretty tasty. The previous week, we’d seen [&hell…
On Thursday morning of my week off, I went to the shops for a few hours of retail therapy. I started my day with breakfast at Hungry Jack’s – a Grilled Chicken Burger. I love these – the flame grilled-flavoured processed chicken pattie, the tangy ranch dressing, crisp shredded iceberg lettuce, juicy sliced tomato, the […]
Having cracked open the tin of turkey SPAM, I just had to use some in fried rice with onion, garlic, crunchy green beans and egg. I flavoured the rice with tamari and black pepper. I don’t think my cooking would ever impress anyone, but I always enjoy eating what I’ve cooked. This to me was […]
Tuesday evening last week Jac cooked a pork loin roast, which she served with roasted root vegetables (sweet potato, potato and carrot) and buttered steamed cabbage. It was really delicious, but some of you will be disappointed to know there was no crackling. That’s just how the roast came from the butcher. You may notice […]
As I was on leave last week I had time to cook myself some breakfast on Tuesday morning. I woke up feeling like fried SPAM and egg with baked beans and rice for breakfast. I dug around the pantry looking for a tin of SPAM, and shock, horror – no SPAM! Somehow, I’d let my […]
Here was dinner Monday evening last week. Steam-in-the-bag fish in lemon and herb sauce, which Jac served with steamed broccoli and garlic vegetables. The fish was, surprisingly, quite good for something “in-the-bag”. And to go with my fish and vegetables, a bowl of Jac’s fluffy buttery mashed potato. “I don’t think I …
