Asian-style egg and vegie scramble

Jac went out early last Sunday morning to visit her friend who lives in the hills. I stayed home and made myself some breakfast. I chopped up mushrooms, the last of the snow peas and a clove of garlic. I beat a couple of eggs in a bowl with some white pepper and soy sauce. […]

Worst garlic bread ever

We grabbed dinner in Victoria Park before going to Chad’s birthday party last Saturday night. We wandered up and down Albany Highway looking for somewhere to eat. Stupidly on our part, we hadn’t made a reservation anywhere, and as it turned out, most of the cafes/restaurants were fully booked. Whoops. In the end, we managed […]

My new bento gear

I’ve been looking forward to this! Some of the bento gear I purchased online arrived last week, including my very first bento box. I thought it would be easiest for me to tell you guys all about it via video, so here it is, via YouTube. I shot this video in one take not long […]

Food hall feasting

Last Friday night, Jac and I went to Spencer Village (on Spencer Road, Thornlie, adjacent to Thornlie HJs and KFC, opposite the Thornlie Train Station) for dinner. We started with a shared large curry combination. Vegetables cooked in a lightly spiced coconut milk gravy (along the lines of sayur lodeh), chicken curry, lamb curry and […]

Bento-style Friday

This post features the Lunch on the Go lunch box by Fit & Fresh. You can buy the Lunch on the Go lunch box from my Amazon store. Jac didn’t need a packed lunch last Friday, so I only had to worry about myself. My lunch was vegie pasta stir-fry, beef sausage and strawberries. I’d […]

Bento-style Thursday

The weather continued to be shocking towards the end of last week (and it’s been terrible this week too!), so I decided to bring lunch on Thursday to avoid having to go out in the rain to get food. In my lunch box: garden salad, soy and garlic snow peas and cubes of juicy seedless […]

Bento-style Wednesday

Last Tuesday night, Jac rubbed a couple of skinless, boneless chicken thighs in lemon pepper and panfried them. On Wednesday morning it was a simple matter for me to pop them into our lunch boxes. I’d been in the mood for potato salad, so when Jac baked potatoes for our chicken roulade dinner, I asked […]

Birthday morning tea and lunch

I didn’t bring lunch on Tuesday because we were going out to celebrate JC’s birthday. But the feasting began before lunch, with a delicious morning tea JC brought in for everyone. She’d made this Tim Tam cheesecake (read about Tim Tams at the manufacturer’s site and Wikipedia entry). She was very apologetic about the brown […

Bento-style Monday

Last Monday’s lunch was composed mostly of leftovers. I used the Sandwich Keeper box for myself this time. I packed cherry tomatoes, a green salad of mixed lettuce, green beans, snowpeas and cucumber, a couple of Arnott’s Snack Right Sultana Slice biccies, and a couple of chicken and mayo rolls. The bread and some of […]

Hot dogs

We made hot dogs last Thursday night. I must confess I ate both of these. On one, I simply squeezed a line of tomato sauce and a line of American mustard on either side of the weiner. Jac squeezed the sauce and mustard on the other hot dog in a much fancier style. I must […]
