On Tuesday afternoon I rang Jac from the office. “Would you like me to pick something up for dinner on my way home from work?” I asked. “Yes,” Jac replied at once. “Curry.” “What sort of curry?” I asked. “Any sort, as long as it’s hot and burny.” OK then! I finished work around 4pm […
The potato bake is in the oven and I can hear the sausages sizzling in the pan – yum! I can’t wait for dinner, even though I absolutely stuffed my face with the last of the bolognaise on a big bowl of rice at lunch time! Monday: a cold and rainy day, and on rainy […]
If you’ve been reading this site since last year you’ll remember Jac’s SVT. Well, last Sunday it happened again. Don’t worry, she’s fine – just like the last time, the doctors at the hospital were able to get her heart rate down to normal – but also like the last time, they couldn’t tell us […]
Last night’s dinner: spaghetti bolognaise with wholemeal linguini. Jac made the bolognaise according to how I used to make it for myself: mince, garlic, onions, sliced tinned champignons, chopped fresh tomatoes, tomato paste and tomato ketchup (not a lot of ketchup, just a little – yes, I’m sure some of you are horrified!). No her…
This morning I managed to get Jac to tell me how she made her meatloaf (from this recent post). Given that she made it up as she went along and didn’t write anything down at the time, all amounts/measurements below are from memory more than a week later and may not be as precise or […]
I can’t guarantee that I will always be able to provide recipes when requested, but I have two to share with you now – first, the easy strudel we had recently at a family lunch. My younger sister Juji kindly gave me the recipe to share with you guys (original post here). Obviously this is […]
We had gozleme for lunch on Friday at work – I had what’s become pretty much my standard order: lamb, spinach, sundried tomato and mushroom (AU$10.50). I think next time I might go vegetarian (shock, horror!) and try a potato goz. At around 3:30 we had afternoon tea to farewell A, who’d been working with […]
On Thursday evening Jac went to hockey training and had dinner with her teammates at the hockey club house. I knew I wouldn’t feel like cooking when I got home, so I picked up some dinner from the markets on my way home – Singapore fried bee hoon (AU$8.50). Many a Singaporean has told me […]
I am still mad annoyed that as a result of my failed memory card last week, I lost my photos of the Thai red curry chicken and rice (AU$8.95) I had for lunch at Han’s on Tuesday. I was hoping to return to Han’s armed with my camera and spare memory card, to re-enact that […]
I’ve replied to a batch of comments this evening on recent posts – thank you for all your comments and feedback! I’ve probably missed replying to comments on some posts – will continue with replies on the weekend when I get a chance. I will definitely be posting new photos at some point this weekend, […]
