From dumplings to cats! I’ve been following the cats around the house with my new camera. Billy Lee Here’s Billy Lee on the couch, trying to sleep but cranky from being woken up by the photographer hovering near her face. This photo was taken in relatively low light using the Lumix G2’s kit lens. You […]
We bought a takeaway pack of pork and vegetable dumplings from Mi Shanghai, the dim sum stand at the Carousel Shopping Centre food court. When we got home, Jac waited patiently while I took the dumplings out of their takeaway plastic container, placed them on a plate, poured soy sauce into a dipping bowl and […]
We ate brunch at the Coffee Club at Carousel Shopping Centre recently. The Coffee Club is a franchise chain in Australia and New Zealand that serves coffee, cake/sweets and light meals. Jac was in the mood for a bacon and egg sandwich, so she ordered the gourmet bacon and egg Turkish roll (AU$12) – bacon, […]

A fun weekend dinner! Jac seasoned turkey breasts with salt and pepper then panfried them. She lightly toasted hot dog buns, then added mixed lettuce, a little mayonnaise and the turkey breasts to make sandwiches. She served the sandwiches with sliced fresh tomato, cucumber, carrot sticks and a handful of potato crisps. It looked like […]
I wrote recently about one of my favourite meals of all time, a roast pork dinner. Here’s another meal that I love, roast chicken dinner! Here’s the plump roasted chicken, rested and ready to be carved. Jac stuffed the chicken with sage bread stuffing and rubbed it with herbs all over before putting it into […]
We held an afternoon tea at our house a couple of weekends ago for Jac’s family and friends. It wasn’t a special occasion – Jac decided to have an afternoon tea after one of her cousins teased her for not inviting her over to check out our “new” house after all this time. It’s been […]
In my previous post, I wrote about the manager at Hungry Jack’s telling Jac about an awesome little curry and roti place in Willetton that opened at 7:30am for breakfast on weekends. Jac had come home with very vague instructions (“near the primary school”) and although we did a thorough sweep of the surrounding area, […]
Funnily enough, we didn’t plan to eat at Taurus… A month or so ago, Jac went to Hungry Jack’s to grab takeaway for Saturday brunch. She came home with burgers, fries, onion rings and some intriguing information. She had a chat with the HJ’s manager while waiting for our order and mentioned that her other […]
I really wanted a SPAM sandwich. Just SPAM, fried to crispy on the outside, with fresh thickly sliced soft white bread. No lettuce, no mayonnaise, no butter on the bread, nothing else whatsoever. It was so good, exactly what I wanted. One of life’s simple pleasures. What’s your simple pleasure?
