Jac and VR returned from Mandurah on Sunday arvo. Jac got cracking in the kitchen and cooked a really delicious dinner. She cut a chicken into two, placed both halves flat on a tray and roasted them in the oven, rubbed with a variety of fresh and dried herbs, garlic, pepper, garlic chicken salt and […]
Jac and VR went to Mandurah with mates on the weekend before her surgery. As most of you know, I’ve already posted the photos from the family dinner on the Friday night at Hawker’s Cuisine. On Saturday night, I decided to cook one of my favourite dishes I make when I’m home alone, my chicken […]
This morning I went to the print/copy centre at uni to get my thesis printed and bound, ready for submission to the examiners. It really is a terrible waste of paper – 4 copies of the thesis as required by the university, each copy totaling 440 pages or so. Luckily, my scholarship came with a […]
Jac is home. She’s had a light lunch and is now sleeping. Uploading photos and replying to comments will have to wait a little longer. Right now I’m going to sneak in a nap while she is asleep on the couch. I haven’t been through anywhere near as much as Jac, but I feel really […]
EDIT #1: 7:14am Friday: I’m heading to the hospital again this morning. Not sure when the surgeon will be along to see Jac. Just spoke to her on the phone – she had a very bad night with terrible pain. The passing of the stones will be also very painful (yes – I had been […]
Last night my family got together for dinner in a Chinese restaurant. We were celebrating my sister’s hubby’s birthday, saying farewell to Koo Ma who’s returning home to Adelaide, wishing my brother a safe business trip to the US (he leaves tomorrow morning and will be gone for a couple of weeks), but also having […]
As I do sometimes, I woke up around 7am craving rice and something garlicky. I raided the fridge and found a single leftover salt and pepper chicken thigh from the other night. I popped it on a plate for reheating in the microwave with some leftover rice. I found some washed lettuce that Jac had […]
It was back to fish on Thursday evening. This fish was sold as “sweet lip” which may or may not refer to the fish known as sweet lip emperor. Jac marinated the fish with teriyaki sauce, ginger and sliced chunks of garlic and then grilled it. We ate it with rice, salad and corn on […]
My sister-in-law A gave me a lift home after we finished clearing Mama’s flat on Tuesday, and Jac and I invited her to stay and have dinner with us. What did we have? Yep, more fish and salad. The distinguishing feature of the salad this time was sliced roasted red capsicum. I think this capsicum […]
