From last week, Monday – imported frozen basa fillets, seasoned and panfried, served with steamed cabbage and broccoli, corn on the cob, orange mash (cooked carrot and sweet potato seasoned and then mashed with butter) and Ainsley Harriot “Moroccan Medley” instant cous cous. Jac didn’t like the cous cous at all. I didn’…
Last Sunday, we celebrated Jac’s nephew Max’s 5th birthday with family barbecue lunch. It was quite a feast! A garden salad with hard-boiled eggs, cheddar cheese cubes and avocado. Jac’s brother B’s special coleslaw, made with white and red cabbage. Creamy potato salad with more hard boiled egg – yum! A fruit platter, …
On Saturday last weekend we grabbed a bite to eat while at the shops. Jac enjoyed a plate of chicken nachos from Xquisito. The warmed corn chips, spicy chicken chilli mix and melted cheese were topped with cold tomato salsa, guacamole and sour cream. I wasn’t sure I liked all the cold condiments piled on […]
25/03/2008. Oven baked chicken drumsticks seasoned with garlic salt and herbs, served with steamed broccoli and green beans, baked butternut pumpkin, potatoes and carrots. They were deliciously succulent chicken drumsticks. 28/03/2008. Chicken kebabs, made with Lebanese bread, chicken, salad and lashings of aioli. A little messy to eat, but utterly…
My workmate RR recently bought selection of goodies from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie for afternoon tea to celebrate his birthday. I sneaked in ahead of time to take photos, of course. I lifted the lid from the box, and wow! Even after half a dozen or so morning/afternoon teas featuring Jean Claude fare, I still […]
It’s my birthday today! :) I made cupcakes last night which I’ll bring in to work today for morning tea with my workmates. I iced them with chocolate butter cream icing and decorated them with an assortment of chopped Flake chocolate, Maltesers and Smarties. Hmmmm, which one do I prefer? Maltesers… …or Flake? I got [……
Tuesday – honey chicken and fried rice (AU$7.00) from 88 Royal (88a Royal St, East Perth). The tender battered chicken was smothered in a sweet and sticky syrupy sauce. The fried rice was delicious, with fried egg, sliced Chinese barbecue pork and onions in it. Wednesday – I grabbed a takeaway two-meat curry combination from […]
On Monday evening, we went to our friend M’s for a barbecue dinner. M told us not to bring anything – as M and her son L are both vegetarians, we went along knowing the meal would probably be vego. I know most people think of me as a complete carnivore who is anti-vegetable, but […]
On the Easter Monday public holiday, Jac and I had brunch at Hungry Jack’s with our friend K. I think it’s great that you can order from the regular menu at breakfast time at Hungry Jack’s. I often don’t feel like standard breakfast food at breakfast time and would much prefer a burger and fries. […]
On Easter Sunday, we went to my parents’ home. The plan was to turn up in the afternoon to play mahjong for a few hours, then stay for dinner. Mum was making nasi lemak. Jac volunteered to bring along a vegetable curry as our contribution to dinner. She cooked up a big batch in the […]
