On Tuesday night we had dinner at my younger sister Juji’s new place, which she’s sharing with her boyfriend and two other friends. As regular readers will know, Juji is a great cook (between Jac, Juji and my mum, I’m kept very well fed!), so I was really looking forward to it. As expected, Juji […]
It’s been yet another busy week. We had dinner at Juji’s on Tuesday night (yummy pics), on Wednesday night we made plans for work to be done around the house (involving tradespeople), we had pizza for dinner to celebrate Max’s third birthday last night (more yummy pics), uni is in its usual ballistic state (I […]
My honours* supervisor’s office door happened to be open this afternoon as I walked down the corridor, so I popped my head in and said hi. We chatted for a little while today – she asked how the PhD and the teaching are going, I asked if she was teaching many classes this semester, she […]
For lunch today I took the leftover KFC off the bone (“What?” I hear you say, “But you had boneless chicken!” Yes, we did have boneless, but Jac also bought some regular chicken too) and mixed it with mayonaise, australian mustard, cracked black pepper and very finely chopped white onion (not that much onion – [&hellip…
This morning, we went over to my grandma’s place. Jac helped trim my grandma’s money plant*, which was going gangbusters in the front garden bed. She also got rid of this weedy shrub thing (can you tell I’m not a gardener?!), turned the soil over to dig up and remove the weedy shrub thing’s roots […]
Here’s my second KFC post, which is bound to make health-conscious people get all hoity-toity *snort*. Jac offered to pick up KFC on her way home for dinner last night. KFC currently have boneless thigh and breast filets on their menu, and I’ve been meaning to try it out. I gave Jac strict instructions: 1) […]
I made dinner last night – one of my standard green and brown noodle stir-fries. Rice noodles, with garlic tofu, green beans, bok choy, onion and garlic (lots and lots, some slivered, some finely chopped), flavoured with light and dark soy sauce, cracked black pepper and a drizzle of sesame oil right at the end […]
For breakfast yesterday I had a big pao/pow (how the hell is it spelled anyway?!), bought from our favourite asian food hall. Regular readers/viewers of this site will be well aware how much I love a savoury, hot breakfast. I took it out of the fridge (it was purchased the night before) and zapped it […]
Flicking through my old diaries tonight which I wrote in from age 15 to 17, I found this poem that I wrote at 2:01 am on the 19th January 1992 (I was 16). I’ve just typed it out as it appears in the diary, unedited. Lonely so lonely drag me out to the desert leave […]
I had a recent scare. Last week, I received an email from the university about a tutor who had blogged about tutoring and had inadvertantly revealed a little too much information, making it possible for readers to easily identify the university and the unit. This email was sent to all the tutors on a particular […]
