Jac’s niece Savannah, aged 7, had a sleepover at our place this weekend. As soon as she arrived, all three of us got into the spa (jacuzzi) for a while. We got out so we could make dinner. Jac made chicken nuggets and chips. The recipe for the nuggets came from the Take 5 magazine […]
On Friday night, Jac and three of her best friends got together for a party planning meeting. The four of them are turning 40 this year, and are organising a big combined party. It promises to be a huuuuuge bash (we’re talking a marquee, DJ and renting a portaloo). The four friends held a big […]
It’s been a while since I posted, and so I’ll be uploading multiple posts this evening. Here’s the first. Dinner, 04/01/2006. Sausages and peas I’ve posted before. But not this potato bake. Jac made it by cooking sliced potatoes in the microwave (until the potatoes were three-quarters done). Then she put them in an ovenproof…
It’s been a bingy sort of time, food-wise. We’ve been eating lots of junk food, lots of deep-fried stuff. On New Year’s Day, for example, we had Charcoal Chicken. I always order a Hawaiian Pack, which is a quarter of a chicken (I always ask for the leg, which means I’ll get a thigh too), […]
We had a relatively quiet New Year’s Eve. We went to MK’s hubby AK’s birthday party, where I ate some yummy chicken, sausage rolls and MK’s homemade custard puffs with Baileys in the custard. They were goooood. I had three of them. When I reflect on 2005, four points of note come to mind: Jac […]
Yesterday, we decided to take a trip to the Midland Military Markets to buy fruit and vegetables for both eating and juicing. Jac was also keen to have a Stovey Burger. If you remember, last time we went to the Markets Jac was on the Liver Cleansing Diet and couldn’t have one. Most unfortunately, as […]
After having a cuppa at Jac’s mum’s house and saying good-bye to her brother who was returning to Sydney in the afternoon, we had lunch at our favourite asian food hall. I had hokkien mee. Jac had yong tau foo. I didn’t take a picture of it because it looked exactly like this photo I […]
My folks got home from their holiday yesterday arvo, and the family got together for an inpromptu curry fest dinner, cooked by my very talented younger sister Juji. Juji served the curries with lemon rice. The recipe is from Jamie Oliver’s Happy Days with the Naked Chef book, and is also featured in Season 3 […]
For breakfast this morning we just had to fry up slices of the leftover Christmas ham, with eggs, field mushrooms, tomatoes and baked beans.
Christmas Day was fun and delicious. As I said in an earlier post, it promised to be a real meatfest. Although I have definite carnivorous tendencies, I would have been just as happy with two kinds of meat. Still, I appreciated all the meat on offer. Jac carved the meat. Here’s the sliced turkey thigh […]
