Yesterday, we took Jac’s mum (we call her Pattycakes) out to dinner at The Witch’s Cauldron in Subiaco for her birthday. We started off with a drink each: a glass of house red for Pattycakes, a glass of cranberry juice for Jac and a glass of Diet Coke for me. Yeah yeah yeah boring! I’ll […]
Jac said she dreamed about Hungry Jack’s last night and she woke up this morning craving a Bacon Double Cheeseburger Deluxe. She had to go into work for a couple of hours this morning and on her way home she picked us up some HJ’s for lunch. She always has her Bacon Double Cheeseburger Deluxe […]
Yesterday morning I went to the dentist to get those two fillings done. One of them was on one of my molars, right at the back of my mouth. The dentist had a hard time working in that tight spot and accidentally grazed the inside of my cheek with one of his tools (the dental […]
Last night’s dinner was rice with satay chicken (using Yeo’s satay sauce in a jar) and stir-fried savoy cabbage (made with Mama Sita’s Stir-fry sauce packet mix). I love the texture of savoy cabbage, the extra crinkliness of it. It really does hold sauce much better than regular cabbage. It was a most enjoyable meal. […]
Today typing away on my laptop, the third finger on my left hand has been quite tender due to guitar bruising. But that’s good. I’m not complaining. On Tuesday night our power was out for an hour and a half. We could’ve cooked dinner on the gas stove but didn’t fancy doing so by candlelight […]
Mum’s birthday cake was homemade by the wife of one her work colleagues. It was covered with thick, smooth, rich butter cream icing.* Oh my god, it was gooooooood. It was so good I actually ate a whole piece. Usually I just have a bite out of Jac’s (part of the secret to not becoming […]
Last year, we celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday at a dinner with family and friends at the Swan Lake Chinese Restaurant in Churchlands (savoury post here, sweet post here). On Saturday evening, we returned to celebrate Mum’s 60th (her birthday is actually tomorrow!). The people on my table patiently put up with my photographing of [&hel…
On Sunday Jac cooked us a yummy breakfast of fried eggs, bacon and mushrooms fried in butter. After breakfast she got ready to go out – she was off to Mandurah for a wedding party (long story short: a mate went to Japan 4 years ago to work and married a Japanese woman over there. […]
This was one of my dinners last week: creamy chicken with mushrooms and green beans, served with roasted corn on the cob and roasted whole potatoes. Jac cooked it all – she made the chicken dish up to use the leftover cream we had in the fridge – it was delicious. I had a little […]
We had chinese home delivery this last week. We rang our usual place but no one answered the phone, so we had to go with our never second choice, which doesn’t do ma po tofu and charges $4 for delivery (our usual place doesn’t charge for delivery). Jac felt like soup and ordered a short […]
