Yes, we had pizza again

Ordering pizza via internet is so easy. And discount codes make it even better. We used the code 9UDY to get 2 large pizzas, 1pack of brownies, 1 cheesy garlic bread and 1.25L Coke for $20.95 from Dominos. Jac also felt like chicken wings (4 pack, $5.95). They are salty and spicy, like the chicken […]

Bagels for breakfast

For breakfast this morning we had poppyseed bagels which Jac toasted under the grill. Jac made me scrambled eggs to go with my bagel. She garnished the eggs with chopped green onion tops – the tops of the onions growing in our garden – they smelled so delicious on top of the eggs. With freshly […]

Saturday lunch

We went to the Save the Children Book Sale in South Perth yesterday morning. Jac was rather pleased – she scored loads of cook books for $68 – most books were 50 cents or $1, a few *special* ones for $2 – $3. I didn’t make any thrilling finds for myself, but in the $11 […]

This one had ham, sausage, capsicum, mushrooms, fresh tomato, onions, dried oregano and lots of chopped fresh garlic. We used tomato ketchup for the sauce. In an ode to Domino’s Godfather pizza, we called this one […]

Do the hoki

On Tuesday night, Jac made a delicious dinner with fish and vegies. Using hoki fillets – I think these were New Zealand hoki, which we bought from the supermarket frozen – she layered: fish, sliced fresh mushrooms, a little butter, finely chopped garlic and fresh silverbeet, then more mushrooms, more garlic and more fish, and […]

Monday stir-fry

We had another stir-fry the next evening – chicken with black bean sauce, which Jac had marinating in a bag in the freezer for weeks – and carrots, broccoli, bok choy and cauliflower with noodles. The chicken had soaked up the black bean flavour and was so tender. This was fantastic – and I had […]

Last Sunday night

Very simple – stir-fried chicken and vegies, flavoured with Asia At Home brand szechuan stir-fry sauce, served on rice. Also very simple – a selection of fruits for sweets. In the photo between the banana and dried apricots (which are next to the apple slices) you’ll see a little dark pile of prunes… lovely moist, […]
