On Friday evening, Jac, VR and I went to the movies. We saw Casino Royale. I loved it – I will definitely buy it when it’s been released on DVD. Without giving too much away in case anyone reading hasn’t seen it yet, highlights (for me, anyway) worth mentioning are: 1) the animated opening credits […]
On Thursday evening I arrived home to the delicious aroma of savoury mince cooking on the stove – a meaty, Worchestershire saucey sort of smell. Mmmmm. Jac was making cottage pie – the savoury mince was just made from lamb mince, carrots, cabbage, onions and spinach and a variety of sauces and herbs (sorry, I […]
I had a very productive day working on the thesis at uni today and have decided to celebrate by blogging this evening – wooohoo! VR is cooking dinner and it should be ready soon – wooohoo! On Wednesday evening Jac and I went out to dinner at Spencer Village. We’ve been just so busy lately […]
Oh, and to Nicole, June and Sarah, I’ve replied to your question(s) about the Christmas eve garlic prawns here. And Haz, I’ve replied to your question (well Lell’s question :)) about the turkey stuffing and flavouring the bird here. Eleanor, I’ve replied re: the turkey thigh roast here. I’d just like to take a moment […
Last night’s dinner was simple but tasty – panfried lemon pepper fish (I think they were New Zealand frozen hoki filets)… … mushrooms and garlic cloves fried in a little butter… …and a simple salad of lettuce, Lebanese cucumber and cherry tomatoes. I put my salad dressing on the side in a wee dish to […]
On New Year’s Day, Jac and VR came home from Dunsborough. I’d enjoyed my time alone but I’d really missed Jac, so I was chuffed to see them. That evening Jac and I went to my folks’ for dinner (VR was invited but was too tired and I suspect, rather ooged out from all the […]
I didn’t eat anything very interesting or particularly food porny while Jac and VR were in Dunsborough over the weekend. The only meal of note (since I’ve already told you about the Thai green curry, which incidently stretched out to three meals – and then I decided it probably wasn’t a good thing to eat […]
Yesterday, Jac asked me if I’d like her to cook me something before she and VR left for Dunsborough. I said I’d love her to cook me a Thai green curry, and so that’s what she did. She used both chicken thigh and breast meat, and the vegies I like in it – zucchini, peas […]
Remember I said that our friend MT was coming over for lunch on Christmas Eve? Well, here’s what we had – Chinese chicken salad, made using a Lee Kum Kee Chinese chicken salad packet sauce. That packet sauce is definitely recommended, really yummy. Just chop the vegies, slice the cooked chicken, add the sauce and […]
Occasionally certain photos get left by the wayside and forgotten. Here are a number of forgotten photos, all junky, all yummy. Nooooooo, I did not eat all of this on the same day or in the same week. First, another Hungry Jack’s Aussie Breaky, with strawberry jam on one of the muffin halves, and pepper […]
