I took a break from the thesis this arvo and took a walk to the shops so I could check my PO Box for mail. Yes! There was something in there. My sister CherryRipe and her hubby Mister had sent me a card and a David Jones gift card. (More shopping coming up – woohoo!). […]
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Yeah, I had a great time at Pancho’s on Sunday night. If you live in Perth and you’re after a good Mexican feed, we definitely recommend Pancho’s. And don’t forget to print off a coupon to get yourself a free margarita or corona. As promised, […]
It’s my birthday today. Last night, we went out for dinner at Pancho’s Mexican Villa, which is at 885 Albany Hwy in East Victoria Park. We ate there around five years ago and really enjoyed it – I wanted to return and see if it was just as good as before (plus, I’ve been craving […]
Oh yeah! And while we were out, before we went to the greengrocer’s we had a quick browse in a furniture shop. We saw these cushions that made me think immediately of guinea pigs. We bought a couple of them for $7.50 each. They came in plastic baggies that had holes in them (I told […]
Yesterday, as well as the lebanese flatbreads, Jac also picked up a couple of chicken pies (from a different bakery to the lebanese one). I had one for breakfast this morning. It was a little soft from being zapped in the microwave, but it smelled really good. The filling was delicious. It consisted of chicken […]
Max is crazy about Thomas the Tank Engine, and so he absolutely loved his birthday cake. You may see a tiny bit missing from the picture in the middle. That’s because little hands got to it before I could take the photo :). I didn’t have a whole slice of cake to myself; I just […]
My meeting with the Dean on Thursday afternoon went very well. It lasted for around twenty minutes. He spoke about the examination process in great detail. His assistant and I both took notes. I asked him a few questions. He asked if I had thought about getting my thesis published as a book and I […]
I actually cooked dinner tonight, which is very unusual for a Friday! I used the rest of the tin of SPAM to make fried rice. I chopped the SPAM up into cubes and fried them in a small frypan until they were nicely browned and crisp on the edges (but still moist and bouncy). Once […]
Fried SPAM and egg with rice is one of my favourite dinners. I often like to have some baked beans on the side. This time, Jac boiled me some green beans and corn on the cob as well. She really tries hard to get me to eat vegetables! The corn was lovely, sweet and juicy, […]
Lunch at uni, 29/03/2006. I’ve had eaten combination rice many times before, but this is the first time the char siu came topped with char siu sauce. It was nice, but I think I prefer the char siu to come without sauce. Usually I just pour soy sauce over the top of the chicken and […]
