Lou and Dan’s wedding reception was held at Melville Glades Golf Club. Having eaten only a chicken pie for breakfast and some turkish bread and tzatziki dip at Sascha and Dave’s between wedding and reception, I was absolutely ravenous. Once we’d sat down at our table, my bread roll promptly made friends with my tummy. […]
Friday night dinner was roast chicken, roast potato and coleslaw. Jac made the coleslaw, with Kraft coleslaw dressing. The chicken was rubbed in barbecue marinade powder and then roasted. The potatoes were cut in half and roasted under the chicken, which sat on a metal rack so that its juices and fat could drip down […]
On Friday I had a lunch date with Jac. It wasn’t exactly a planned lunch date; Jac had taken a long lunch so that she could go to the shops and buy a new jacket to wear to the wedding – I asked her if she’d be able to take me to the optometrist so […]
This was a savoury snack Jac brought home recently – a cheese and salami pretzel (AU$4.30), from a new pretzel place called Pretzoos. When you select your hot savoury pretzoo, you will be given the choice of having it brushed with melted butter or garlic butter. Jac chose butter on this occasion. It was really […]
It’s not very photogenic, but I enjoyed this meal I cooked on Thursday night: my chicken dish with no name, fried cabbage and egg, and rice. If you’ve been reading this site for a while you’ll know all about my chicken dish with no name. If not, you can read about it here (served with […]
EDIT, 20/07/2006. I’ve had quite a bit of interest in the stir-fried brussels sprouts via comments and emails. It seems quite a few of you reckon they smell gross too! Hahaha. Anyway, for those interested, just a note: Jac did steam the brussels sprouts beforehand, so that they were not completely raw when added to […]
For breakfast this morning, as part of my non-stinky breath for the dentist-strategy, I had two pieces of toast, an apple and a mandarin. I even flossed twice. But I decided I would have lunch after seeing the dentist, and have something really yummy and junky. The dentist did a really good job of grinding […]
I went to uni today as I needed to print off a bunch of articles (we have a pretty good laser printer in the shared office, BYO paper; I have a shitty old bubblejet printer at home that is no good for bulk printing). Any hoo, for lunch today MK and I grabbed some asian […]
Well, I have my new glasses now, and they are soooooooooooooo great! (Well, I think so, anyway, which is the most important thing :)). I think out of all the pairs of glasses I have owned in my life, I am the happiest I have ever been with these (seriously! Special thanks to Juji for […]
Wow! eyecandy just sms’d me to say that my new glasses are ready! That is so quick! In the past, with other optometrists, I’ve always had a week to two weeks’ wait for new glasses. Perhaps back then, my high-index lenses had to be specially ordered in from Japan or something (that’s the only thing […]
