I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I made this stir-fry for my lunch during the week using the 4-day-old leftover cooked rice noodles from Saturday night. Jac would’ve chucked the noodles out by then, but they smelled fine to me and I just put them in a colander and refreshed them a little under […]
So this is not quite magic, but very tasty nonetheless. This is something I like to cook from time to time, just like another of my old favourites created from tinned meat, SPAM, egg and rice. My mum used to cook a similar dish when we were kids. It’s very easy to make – regular […]
Well, it was finally announced this afternoon: Western Australia will be starting a trial of daylight saving from the 3rd of December. You can download a free (free registration required) fix for Windows XP which will automatically shift your PC clock as necessary while maintaining your pc’s Windows time synchronisation.

I had my follow-up visit with the dermo this morning. Good news – I don’t have to see him again unless I get a bad flare-up, but he thinks as long as I keep moisturising like crazy and stay away from detergents, soaps, ordinary shampoo and conditioner (I have been using soap-free/perfume-free shower wash, shampoo […]
Ta-dah! Yes, I made trifle for our dessert! No, those are not my hands. :) Our lunch guests love sweeties, and we knew we just had to serve dessert. I thought a cold dessert would go well after a heavy hot roast lunch. Jac supervised my trifle-making in her role as “chief cook of the […]
And so ends our special event mini-series Commentgate: The Dummy Spit of TFP. We will now resume normal programming. Yesterday my younger sister and her boyfriend came over for lunch and to get the run-down regarding what needs to be done when they house/cat-sit for us when we go on holiday to Geraldton next week. […]
Okay, okay. Yes, I chose to write publically about my response (my thoughts and feelings) to a particular comment. In this case, I had a fairly (hah!) negative response. In hindsight, perhaps I shouldn’t have. It doesn’t really matter to me what Mike’s response may be to these last few posts – I realise I […]
Thank you to everyone who left a comment re: the last post. I was genuinely interested to see what people thought – if they responded to Mike’s comment in a similar or completely different way to me. I thought it would generate some interesting responses (and I think it did!). Now for my response. When […]
Before I respond to this recent comment by Mikecooks to Saturday Night Dinner, I’d like to get your thoughts on it. I’m just interested to see what you think about the tone of the comment, as well as its message. Hey there food-porn person, It’s a nice idea to show us pics of what you’re […]
EDIT: You know how I mentioned Jac threw in the red chillis that had been sitting in soy sauce? Well, she actually marinated the chicken pieces in that for a little while before cooking – and then the whole lot, chicken and chilli marinade was used in the stir-fry. I’ve just eaten my dinner: rice […]
