We were supposed to attend a barbecue at our friends Lou and Dan’s place yesterday at 3PM, but when we got home from the shops around lunch time I felt like crap and didn’t think I’d be up to any kind of socialising. Jac suggested I have a sleep and see how I felt. At […]
I didn’t mention earlier – I’ve caught a cold. Right now as I type, my right nostril is blocked, and I’ve been carrying around (and um, filling) a rather disgusting hanky snot rag. Consequently, I won’t be going to see baby Ruby right away. Appetite is still fine (when I can actually taste food – […]
Jac’s had this insatiable craving for sashimi for a couple of weeks now. We met in town after work on Friday with plans to grab something nice for dinner (Jac hoped involving sashimi :)) and then just walk around the shops. Although it’s nice to get home and put your feet up after an exhausting […]
On Wednesday evening we met up with C and her mate P for dinner at Spencer Village. I’d been craving char kway teow and ordered it from Penang Cuisine. As soon as the dish arrived, I could see it wasn’t going to be as good as it usually was. For one thing, it wasn’t dark […]
On Tuesday evening after I’d finished my pork steak dinner, I got to work to bake the mini muffins from the batter I’d pre-made on Sunday. The recipe made around 48 mini muffins. I iced them all with mocha icing, and then topped some with chopped roasted unsalted peanuts. The whole process of filling mini […]
I think the work lunches are my favourite posts of the week now. I must say, since I started working in Subiaco I’ve had the opportunity to eat some really yummy food (well, yummy to my taste!) and now, about six months later, I’m still discovering new places to eat and new dishes to try. […]
Guess what – I am now Auntie TFP! :-D My brother and my sister-in-law are the proud parents of a baby girl they’ve named Ruby, born on the 7th September. They’re not quite up to visitors yet, but from the photos my brother has sent via email, she is tiny and has a very impressive […]
While Jac was at hockey this afternoon, I did a little baking. I made up some of my triple chocolate muffin mix, which is now in the freezer. I’ll take it out of the freezer on Tuesday morning and leave it in the fridge to thaw out so it’ll be ready to be made into […]
We bought a couple of fresh mackerel steaks at the supermarket for our dinner. Two steaks like this cost about AU$13.00. I suggested we cook them quite simply – season with salt and pepper, then grill topped with a little butter. While the mackerel was grilling, Jac assembled an assortment of savoury sides to eat […]
Had a bite to eat before getting into the shopping yesterday – we shared two noodle dishes from Sun Sun at the food hall in Carousel Shopping Centre. Char kway teow – Sun Sun’s version has chicken, small prawns, sliced Chinese sausage and lots of egg. Jac felt like some sort of noodle soup, so […]
