Craptastic week

It’s been an exhausting week. With morning and afternoon exam supervisions almost every day (including a couple of alternative exams that were over 4 hours long), I haven’t had much time or energy to do much else. I won’t go into details, but things have been less organised this time around, making everything much more […]

Assam Laksa in Perth

This post is a reply to Pamie’s question re: where to get assam laksa in Perth. I was about to email you directly Pamie, but then I thought there might be other people who might be interested or might be able to help. As I told Pamie, I am not a fan of assam laksa, […]

Saturday, Part 2

The play we took Savannah to yesterday was written and directed by my PhD supervisor and performed by university drama students. It was good fun and very colourful. We were well-stocked with munchies – we’d each selected one item from Coles: chewy lollies (Savannah), Crunch chocolate bar (Jac) and Pringles original flavour (me, of cours…

Saturday, Part 1

We were out for most of yesterday. It was so nice to spend the day doing stuff with Jac, rather than sitting in my study alone working, as I often do. In the morning, we went to the shops so that I could check my PO Box for a special delivery I was expecting. I […]

I worked at home today, mainly reading. For lunch I made myself some toast. Twice. The first time I misread which number the toaster was set at and as I stirred my buttery scrambled eggs, I thought idly to myself, “Hmmm, that toast seems to be taking ages”… and then shortly after that, “What’s that […]

More bleh

Jac stopped by the supermarket on her way home from work this evening and picked up a few items for making dinner: a jar of Chicken Tonight (creamy mushroom flavour), some chicken thighs, potatoes, mushrooms and half a cabbage. I love eating the dishes Jac cooks from scratch, but I’m also perfectly happy to eat […]

A bleh kind of day

I know I keep saying this, but I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to the end of semester/exams. Obviously I will have to get back into some serious thesis work, but on the fun side I also plan to reorganise the categories for this site, for example, splitting “savoury” into favourite food categories such as “burg…

Another SPAM meal

I made my own dinner this evening, and it was quick and easy. I chopped SPAM into cubes, washed and very roughly shredded lettuce into big pieces, chopped cherry tomatoes into halves, and sliced up one brown onion and two big cloves of garlic. First I fried the onion and SPAM in the wok, and […]

The patties had seeds in them!

Last night for dinner, Jac made another no-recipe dish – turkey patties, using turkey mince and all sorts of stuff we had in the pantry and fridge, including leftover vegetables, breadcrumbs and LSA. She served them with a big dish of tomato sauce. They were very meaty and very tasty. She also made me up […]
