Simple pleasures
This is one of them.
Thanks, everyone, for all your concerns regarding my recent injury. I am still not quite 100% but am no longer limping around. A bruise has developed, but in a weird way I’m a little disappointed – it’s really not as spectacular a bruise as I’d expected from the pain! Not that I’m complaining. :) And […]
Now that the weekend has come I thought I’d better hurry up and tell you guys about last weekend’s food before I start working on this week’s photos. Jac spent Saturday with her mum and her niece and nephew. She packed up a picnic lunch – a thermos of coffee for mum and herself, raspberry […]
Jac went out for dinner with friends last Friday night. I wasn’t going along, so Jac grabbed a supermarket barbecue chook on her way home for me to have for dinner. I was stoked that the chicken came with stuffing (that mystery “thing” you see on the right hand bottom “corner” of the plate). I […]
Munch Terrace’s Friday special nasi lemak (AU$7.50) has become a weekly highlight. I was looking forward to this all week. Their coconut rice is really good, almost as good as my mum’s. :) Clockwise from the left – fried ikan bilis (anchovies) and peanuts, chilli sambal, fried chicken wing, otak otak (what is it?), deep-fried [&he…
I’ve been meaning to try Noodlebox’s Teriyaki noodle salad with lime, and last Thursday was the day. The Salad Box comes in one size, for AU$11.50. The salad has soba noodles, chicken, bamboo shoots and lots of fresh vegetables in it – mixed lettuce, carrot, capsisum. The teriyaki dressing was absolutely delicious, thanks to that …
This was lunch on Wednesday last week. Jac didn’t need lunch, so I used the Tupperware large Sandwich Keeper myself this time. I packed some salad and some ham and pineapple fried rice. And for something sweet, a mandarin and mini jam sandwiches. It wasn’t so practical bringing fried rice to work in this particular […]
On Tuesday night, we decided to make fried rice for dinner. I also really felt like making my “Hawaiian”-style fried rice to take for lunch the next day. No problem! Fried rice, two ways Ham, chopped into 1cm-ish cubes A medium brown onion, chopped A plump garlic or two, chopped Green beans, chopped Corn kernels […]
I hurt my leg yesterday and so I was at home instead of work today. I worked from home – J emailed me some files I needed to work on. It was quite a productive day. So what happened? (you can skip the next four paragraphs if you just interested in the food part of […]
I packed this lunch for Jac for last Monday: tuna pasta salad she’d made on Sunday afternoon, korma turkey meatballs, a couple of fresh mushrooms and grape tomatoes. To separate the pasta salad from the meatballs I used a strategically placed washed celery stalk, which Jac could eat with dip if she wished. She has […]
