Last Sunday Jac made turkey meatballs, two ways. The first batch were eaten with large spiral pasta in a tomato sauce with mushrooms, peas and carrots in it. I’ve mentioned before that Jac likes to sneak in as many vegetables as she can when she makes a pasta sauce. She still thinks she has trick […]
We’d talked about going out for dinner on last Friday night, but the weather turned stormy in the afternoon and suddenly staying home and having a good chin-wag while making burgers sounded much more appealing. Here’s my burger, assembled into halves and ready to be combined into one. On the bun base: beef pattie, fried […]
I mentioned sometime ago that I want to try and eat more healthy lunches. Last week, I bought a bag of washed rocket (also known as arugula) and spinach leaves, and with a few other bits and pieces and a little help from Jac, TFP was eating healthier lunches! Monday – Jac made some salmon […]
Jac’s mum friend E cooked up more delicious food for us – yellow rice, dhal and kofta curry. Please excuse the appearance of the plate, I microwaved the food to piping hot before quickly taking this photo and then plunging in.
Dinner last Sunday night – Jac used the last of a jar of korma curry paste we had in the fridge. With a little light cream, onions and chicken thigh pieces she cooked up a very tasty chicken curry. For a vegie dish, she stir-fried cabbage, green beans, carrot, onion and garlic in the wok, […]
Last Saturday morning at the shops. Jac got herself a bacon pretzel from Pretzos. The doughy pretzel is baked, topped with slices of bacon and lots and lots of cheese (check out the cheesy perimeter!). When you order it, they offer to sprinkle it with powdered parmesan cheese and brush it with melted butter or […]
Running a little behind! Here are last week’s work lunches. Wednesday – J and I grabbed an early lunch from Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth). She chose the combination ho fun in egg sauce (AU$8.00). The noodles had been fried in brown sauce (oyster? soy? not hiding my […]
We celebrated B’s birthday at work with a morning tea last Wednesday. She supplied the eats – a box of cannoli from Corica Pastries (106 Aberdeen St, Perth) – enough for each person to have a whole one to him/herself! Where to start? To give you an idea of size, the cannoli is on a […]
An unexpected visit to the doctor last Tuesday evening meant we ran out of time to cook dinner. So, tired and hungry, we grabbed a quick late dinner at McDonald’s on the way home. The fries were a little floppy (sad to say, typical of McDonald’s fries these days!) but tasted pretty good. Jac was […]
Last Sunday morning, we both woke up hungry. A flick through the Entertainment Book proved inspiring – Pancakes at Carillon sounded appealing to us both. I haven’t been there since I was sixteen years old, when I had breakfast there with a group of my school friends, and I remember really enjoying it. And I’m […]
