For breakfast today we had pancakes (made by Jac), bacon (fried by Jac) and maple syrup (poured by me, hee hee). If you’ve never eaten those three things together you really should give it a go (unless you’re super strict about mixing sweet and savoury flavours). I really like this photo. This is what a […]
Yet another photo of yet another uni lunch of yet another bowl of chicken noodle soup. For dinner last night, Jac made a chicken and vegetable (carrots, green beans, green capsicum, spring onions) stir-fry. The sauce was a combination of hoisin sauce, soy sauce and chicken stock. The chicken was thigh pieces cut into chunks […]
On Thursday night we went to the shops and shared this large barbecue combination (four different meats: roast pork, barbecue pork, roast duck and herbed chicken) with fried rice and egg noodles. It looked like a complete mess on the plate, but it was really goooooood. The lady who served me poured a generous ladle […]
I’m still working on getting that lamb meatballs recipe for those of you who expressed an interest (and I also really want it for ME!). This post also features lamb meatballs, but this is one of Jac’s no recipe creations. I did ask her for the recipe but she was very vague. But as you […]
My portable DVD player arrived yesterday, but as no one was home at the time the postie left a card in the letterbox telling me to collect it from the local post office. So that’s our first task to do this morning. We’ll also grab the Saturday paper while we’re out because the full Perth […]
I am sooooooooooooooooooo bad. No, not really. But I must stay away from Zazz. It’s the Australian version of woot.com. Every day at midnight EST (which is currently 10:00pm here in the West), a new item is on sale for one day only (24 hours) or until stocks run out, whichever comes first. The items […]
Juji’s special request was for Mum’s baked cheese cake (I’ve posted the recipe before, see this post). Two birthdays, two cheese cakes. Tummies: *grrrrroan* Juji did a great job decorating them, didn’t she? Juji took this close-up of the strawberries and gold kiwi fruit on the top of one of the cheese cakes. I don’t [&…
On Sunday we went to my folks’ for lunch to celebrate my brother and younger sister’s birthdays (27th and 20th respectively). Laksa was on the menu, as was lots and lots and LOTS of chicken. My brother Mark is also known affectionately as “Chicken Boy” because of his love of eating chicken – the abundance […]
Jac was in a cooking mood on Saturday night (which, of course, made me very happy!). As well as Venetian chicken soup, she also made caesar salad, with homemade croutons and shaved parmesan – YAY! We were actually out of cos lettuce, so Jac cheated and used a combination of iceberg and some of the […]
Jac made fried rice on Monday. It was especially yummy because it had roast pork in it – roast pork that had been in our freezer since Mother’s Day! On Tuesday we had panfried pork steaks with vegies. The vegies were sauteed potatoes and garlic, steamed cabbage and zucchini, and orange mash. The potatoes were […]
