Saturday morning pies

This morning, we had bakery pies for breaky. You may recall my recent chicken pie from the same place. Jac’s steak and kidney pie. This time I managed to get her to let me squeeze in an innards shot after she’d taken a few bites. Jac got a ham and cheese quiche because I had […]

WCB 76: Pixel in another box

I’ve written before about Pixel’s love for sitting in various things (see this post). She was up to her old tricks again this arvo, with the Jack Daniels box Jac brought her cans of bourbon and cola home in (Jac doesn’t drink Jack Daniels, that’s just the box they happened to use at the bottle […]

WCB 76: Busted on the couch!

The cats are not allowed on the couch in the lounge. They just leave too much hair all over it. They KNOW they aren’t allowed on the couch, but they still try to sneak a little nap on it when we’re not watching. On Friday, I had been busy in my study and hadn’t seen […]

WCB 76: Pixel in her summer office

Now that the days are getting warmer, Pixel has been spending most of her day in her summer office – on top of the wardrobe in our bedroom. She has that spot all to herself, because Billy Lee is too unco to jump up there. Cat lovers, show your furry babies off at weekend cat […]

Another week’s food

What do you do with leftover hamburger buns? Jac made them into garlic bread, with butter, fresh parsley and of course, lots and lots of garlic. The burger buns were a little sweet for garlic bread, but still pretty tasty. Of course, being mashed up with large chunks of garlic nullified the anti-stinkifying properties of […]

Frog, spider, special talents

EDIT 18 November 2006: Wow, 17 comments (well, including my responses)! This is the site record, I think. This little frog stopped by for a visit last night. I must say liked this little guy much more than the large huntsman spider that was in our laundry sink today. No, no noooooo spider photo… I […]

End of week food

I’ve been watching Season 1 of Beverly Hills 90210 on dvd today. I used to love this show, and today I realised I still do. It’s kind of embarrassing for me to admit, but I like Jason Priestley’s hair. Yeah, really. Let us now move onto the food. On Thursday night I had a large […]

Another chinese home delivery dinner

We didn’t feel like cooking on Monday evening. As our usual chinese home delivery place is closed on Mondays we ordered from our backup chinese home delivery place, which is open 7 days. We are such creatures of habit – no surprises in this order. First, special fried rice: Yeah yeah, I know – how […]

Savannah’s 8th birthday – Part 3 (Cakes)

I forgot to tell you about Savannah’s party birthday cake. It was made by her other grandmother (not the one who made the crunchy noodle salad), who is a very talented cake maker/decorator. I should’ve taken a photo of the complete assembly of fairies (there must’ve been ten or so fairies, arranged in a ring […]

Savannah’s 8th birthday – Part 2

As the salads were being tossed, I sneaked off to take photos of the barbie. Here are the beef chipolatas. The blob of goop at the back is satay sauce, which we had on… …these chicken kebabs. We also had grilled chicken breasts too. I usually don’t enjoy chicken breasts (I always choose thighs, if […]
