We’d originally planned to go out for dinner last Friday night, but with all the stormy weather we decided staying home would be a better idea. Jac picked up some Thai takeaway on her way home, from the international food hall at East Victoria Park. She’d asked for pad pak with tofu, which is a […]
I’d planned to buy lunch last Friday, but the weather forecast was for a day of wind, rain and storms. I watched from my window as the day grew darker and at lunch time it looked like it was evening! See the news report and photos from Perth Now. I’ve mentioned Jac’s love of sandwiches […]
More delicious food from E for us! She is so generous, and a really great cook! Fried pork, to go with… …this wonderful tangy sweet and sour sauce, with chunks of pineapple, cucumber, tomato and spring onion in it… …and these delicious gingery and garlicky stir-fried vegetables. My plate, loaded up: And close-ups of deliciou…
Some days at the office we just end up eating and eating and eating. I took a break from bento last Thursday. SRM, J and I trooped off happily for a Munch fix. For those who don’t know, “Munch” is Munch Terrace, a little Malaysian cafe on Hay Street in East Perth (Shop 6, 230 […]
I was sure Jac would really like the tomato and cheese “sandwiches” on skewers that I’d made for my lunch on Tuesday, so I made her a couple as part of Wednesday’s lunch. She said she’d love a sandwich for lunch, and so I made her a sausage, cos lettuce and corn relish sandwich. The […]
On Tuesday night Jac cooked up food for dinner and lunches. She baked a tray of chicken wings in the oven. On the left are barbecue flavoured wings, on the right – hoisin sauce and garlic flavoured. I ate a few wings for dinner… …along with a bowl of freshly cooked fried rice. This version […]
Jac didn’t need lunch on Tuesday, so here’s what I made for myself. Top: Oven roasted onion and butternut pumpkin (from Sunday night’s cooking session), baby cos lettuce, and baby roma tomato, Jarlsberg Light cheese and sweet pickle “sandwiches”. My inspiration for the “sandwiches” came from Polly Jean, who…
Dinner last Monday: lamb and garlic sausages from Woolworths, with garlic mashed potatoes, peas and baked beans with corn kernels. The sausages had an enticing springy texture and were so well-seasoned I didn’t need any sauce. With fluffy garlicky mashed potatoes and bursty corn kernels and peas, it was a most satisfying meal – pleasura…
On Monday last week I used my new bento box for the first time. I packed Jac’s lunch in the Lunch to Go box. In Jac’s lunch box – chicken drumstick with Greek seasoning, cherry tomatoes, a salad of oven-baked butternut pumpkin, cucumber, green beans and mushroom, a hot dog roll with Vegemite and cheese, […]
For dinner last Sunday evening, Jac rubbed chicken thighs with a little olive oil and three different kinds of dried herbs – oregano, thyme and chives – then panfried them. She served the chicken with steamed sugar snap peas and garlic mashed potatoes – yum! After dinner we prepared some food for bento. I seasoned […]
