Short nerd break

…on Sunday Jac did loads of gardening – she was out there for HOURS – while I stayed indoors and worked on my old abandoned Socket A AMD Athlon computer (the predecessor to my current AMD X2 3800+), a 1000 MHz Thunderbird – yeah THAT old… and slow. I’ve been meaning to resurrect it and […]

Belated weekend food write-up

Arrrgh, I have at least four or five food posts to catch up on. On Saturday morning, we went to the shops. When we got there we were starving (as usual, perhaps I don’t even need to say this anymore) and decided to split a pie and hot chips at Jesters. We chose the Pie […]

Now, today, tomorrow, and always…

This is going to be one of those annoying posts that tells you how busy I currently am (how busy? THIS busy!) and that I will post photos galore as soon as I get the chance. We had a very busy weekend – off to the shops on Saturday, and then on Sunday Jac did […]

Happy at Home

Geeeez, it’s warm. Unfortunately, it feels like the start of cockroach weather. With Jac out at a Halloween party this evening, it was a good night to have an old favourite for dinner: fried SPAM, egg and rice with baked beans. Yeah, I was invited to the party too, but I don’t like parties and […]

RIP, Big Breakfast

I made a startling discovery yesterday (startling to me, anyway!). McDonald’s no longer serves the Big Breakfast. That era is now over, and all I have are my photos and memories (geez, so dramatic!). Yeah… no more Big Breakfast served in that environmentally unfriendly styrofoam packaging. No more soft, bland scrambled eggs served with …

Another stir-fry

And still more chicken! Jac made this stir-fry during the week for dinner, with chicken, mushrooms, red capsicum, carrots, green beans, chunky onion, ginger, garlic, soy and teriyaki sauce. We ate it with rice and it was delicious.

Chicken rice craving -not quite satiated

At uni on Tuesday this week I had a craving for hainan chicken rice, which I haven’t eaten for a few weeks. Unfortunately when they served it up they told me they were all out of the gingery, garlicky chilli sauce they usually serve with the rice. Damn! The chicken rice and the soup were […]

Chunky chicken noodles

After picking up my repaired phone, I headed into the food court at Galleria and had some lunch. I really wanted KFC chicken and chips, but decided to have some chicken and noodles instead. I ordered the $8.50 fried chicken ho fun/noodle from Sun Sai Kai which is next to KFC. It was saucy and […]

Sunday breakfast

And today’s breaky: sausages, garlic mushrooms (yep, panfried with chunks of fresh garlic), two fried eggs (with cracked black pepper) and a plop of smokey barbecue sauce right in the centre. Jac added the parsley garnish for the photo. Looks good, hey? :) And happy birthday to jl! That’s it for now.

Saturday night dinner

When Jac asked me what I felt like for dinner last night, I told her I’d like some sort of chicken dish, cooked with onions, garlic and mushrooms, in a sauce made with chicken stock and possibly white wine and herbs – no cream. I thought it might be nice to have green beans in […]
