I forgot these photos of another grilled barramundi dinner we’ve had recently, grilled fish and a truckload of salad. I don’t think I can ever get sick of grilled fresh fish with salad or vegies. I’ve been really getting into eating salad. The lovely round little cherry tomatoes were given to us by friends. They’d […]
Thank you, everyone, for your comments and emails and best wishes for Jac’s speedy recovery. I will reply to comments as soon as I can! But for now, I promised food photos, and here they are! It seems like an eternity ago, but this was my dinner of cold chicken (leftover from Jac’s birthday dinner) […]
If you just come here for the food pictures and have no interest in what goes on in my personal life, please don’t read this post. There’ll be a new food photo post tomorrow evening. Just when I thought I was sort of managing finishing the thesis while trawling daily through job ads, writing job […]
For birthday dessert Jac requested tiramisu. She didn’t want a birthday cake. I made the tiramisu using a recipe from my Home Food cook book. Note to self: save up and buy a decent mixer! I couldn’t believe how long it took to hand beat the egg yolks with the caster sugar until the sugar […]

Here’s a dinner from earlier this week: butter chicken, made using The Curry Master brand packet mix, freshly sliced cucumber, and rice. The butter chicken instructions said to add yoghurt, but Jac used cream instead (naughty! Well, actually all she could find were 1kg tubs of plain yoghurt when she went to the shop, so […]
Last summer, I posted a photo of tomatoes from our garden. Well, here are this season’s tomatoes! Last year’s were cherry tomatoes, this year’s look like grape ones. Many thanks to MT for giving us the tomato plants.
Ooooh, I forgot I’d taken photos of tonight’s dinner! So here’s a quick post before I finish my cuppa and go to bed. VR made dinner tonight: grilled crimson snapper and salad. The fish was cooked with cracked black pepper and butter. It was a very meaty fish (I like meaty fish!) and the simple […]
On Saturday morning Jac and I went to the shops and I introduced her to Sumo Salad. We shared a regular grilled chicken caesar, which came with a free bread roll, which was a nice bonus – when Juj and Jay and I ate Sumo Salad in town we didn’t get free bread. Jac really […]
