We went to the shops on Saturday morning so I could check my PO Box and withdraw money from an ATM. We decided to have a junky breakfast. Jac opted for a pie and chips from Jesters Pies. The hot chips at this particular Jesters are really good as they tend to cook them to […]
Tonight, Jac cooked a roast beef dinner. It was so lovely to come home, all brainfried, hungry and exhausted, to a house of delicious roasting smells (oh, and of course with my lovely partner in the house). The beef was very nice – Jac had rolled it in herbs and garlic, and I poured gravy […]
My brain is fried. I worked on my current chapter all day (and made some progress, thankfully) and was also kept busy replying to emails from students which kept trickling in. They have an assignment due on Friday, and it’s obviously panic stations for some of them. We had a visitor this evening – Colin, […]
Jac bought a barbecue chicken and two half loaves of bread (wholemeal for her, white for me) from the supermarket on Tuesday. Look at that lovely chicken, all glistening and juicy. Jac made herself a sandwich, with lettuce, cracked black pepper and a generous spreading of mayonaise. Whenever Jac has lettuce in a sandwich or […]
Those of you who’ve read my previous site(s) will know I used to have a gameboy camera gallery site. I’ve been meaning to resurrect it for sometime but as with so many projects, I just haven’t found the time. I haven’t taken any new photos for a while because 1) my Camera to PC cable […]
It’s really great when Jac is in a cooking mood. As I sat in my study cataloguing books (I’m up to 690 so far), she got busy cooking up all sorts of yummy things. She made a big pan of fried rice (here you can see it has green beans, carrots, baby corn and ham […]
We went for a walk this morning and stopped by McDonald’s for brunch. We got there around 10:40am and the breakfast menu was over, so I had a Medium McChicken Value Meal with a Diet Coke, and Jac had a Double Beef and Bacon Cheeseburger with an Iced Coffee Shake. Here’s the Double Beef and […]
For dessert after our Japanese dinner, Jac had two scoops of ice cream at Baskin Robbins. She had “Love Potion #31”, which consists of white chocolate and raspberry ice cream swirled with a raspberry ribbon and loaded with raspberry filled heart-shaped chocolate pieces and chocolate chips (this is seriously decadent ice cream!), and …
For dinner tonight, we found ourselves at a little Japanese cafe, Sapporo, located at 186 Rutland Avenue in Carlisle. Jac ordered the Bento Box (AU$14.50). In the Bento Box were (from top left, moving clockwise): a potato cake, lovely and soft on the inside and coated with crispy crumbs on the outside; teriyaki chicken, served […]
We went to Jac’s mum’s for dinner on Easter Sunday. She had some Easter chocolate muffins in a tupperware on the table. I thought they looked rather like Playboy Bunny muffins. What do you reckon? Jac’s mum made a simple but delicious dinner of braised chicken with vegetables. She served it with mashed potatoes and […]
