Big bowl of soup

Jac made a yummy, hearty chicken and vegetable soup this week. She made the chicken stock by boiling up chicken lovely legs (fancy meat marketing name for the top half of chicken drumsticks – the fleshy top half, as opposed to the lower half which is mostly the bone) with cubed carrots, celery and swede, […]

Lunch at Marrakech Restaurant

On Tuesday my great friend MK and I met up for lunch for her birthday. We’d been hoping to go to Chutney Mary’s for some Indian, but it’s closed on Tuesday at lunch time. We walked along Hay Street looking for inspiration and came across Marrakech Restaurant, which features “Morrocan and European cuisine”. This sounded…

Breakfast before work at HJ’s

On Tuesday morning I had breakfast at Hungry Jack’s. I love how they now offer their full menu at breakfast time – the breakfast items and all the usual burgers and fries etc. I had a grilled chicken baguette. I think I like this better than the grilled chicken burger – the grilled chicken, the […]

We decided to eat at The Cuckoo Chef again (see my write-up at Eating WA from last year: “We Love Burgers For Breakfast”). This time we went […]

Belated birthday dinner at Roman Palace

As my birthday was on a Tuesday this year I told Jac I’d prefer to go out to dinner on another night, a Friday or on the weekend, so we could just relax and take our time and not worry about not having too late a night (especially me, as I get up at 4:30am […]

Goz – again!

Continuing on with Thursday’s food, I had gozleme for lunch. This time I had chicken, spinach, mushroom, sundried tomato and capsicum in mine. I found out afterwards you can also have zucchini and eggplant in your goz – so I’ll be having those in the next one, YUM! I wanted salad but didn’t get any […]
