When Jac emailed me at work during the day to ask what I felt like for dinner, I knew right away: tomato soup and toasted sandwiches. I’d had a shocker of a day and needed comforting. Dinner and Twitter The tomato soup was a tin of plain old Heinz condensed soup. Jac made it with […]
TFP: What’s for dinner tonight? Jac: Pork chops, roasted tomato, steamed vegetables and potato wedges. TFP: You had me at “pork chops” :D Jac bought enormous pork chops at the supermarket, which she simply seasoned with salt and pepper and panfried so they had a beautiful golden-brown crust on the outside. When I say “enormo…
I’ve eaten breakfast at Shots Espresso Bar in Perth a number of times with friends before work. I like the food there, my coffee loving friends love the coffee, and Shots opens nice and early so we can meet up any time after 7am and have plenty of time to fit in a good catch […]
A delicious dinner cooked by Jac: panfried turkey breast steaks served with two salads, coleslaw, and watermelon, white onion and mint salad.

She packed a container full of protein – homemade beef meatballs, chicken chipolatas, sliced ham and hard-boiled eggs, with a small container of […]
We found ourselves in Fremantle in search of somewhere to have dinner. We’d attended a book launch straight after work and were pretty hungry afterwards (despite me munching on the various nibblies on that were on offer). We wandered up and down Market Street and finally wandered over to Portorosa Cafe. Thankfully, irritation can’t spoi…
Jac recently made a dairy-free French onion dip using Tofutti dairy-free cream cheese. The label on the Tofutti cream cheese container proclaims: No dairy, no butterfat and no cholesterol.
