We felt like getting out of the house on Boxing Day and went to IKEA. Amazingly, we hadn’t been to IKEA since it moved from Osborne Park to its current location at Innaloo. When we got there just after 10am there was a long line of people moving slowly into the store. Jac detests waiting […]
Continuing with my belated Christmas 2009 posts! :D Sunday night, 27 December 2009The night before Christmas breakfast with my family, Jac and I got things ready and cleaned and tidied the house. We put our new Santa Claus mat in the hallway and Billy Lee immediately sat on it. Believe it or not, this is […]
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! We had a lovely family reunion dinner at my parents’ home tonight. Those photos will be posted soon. In the meantime, I’m still catching up on a backlog of posts I didn’t publish due to the redesign of the site. I know it’s terribly late but I hope you’ll still […]
Jac assembled this dinner for herself: tinned mackerel with spring vegetables, salad and orange wedges. Since we had some SPAM to use up and Jac knew I’d prefer SPAM to tinned mackerel, she fried me up a few slices to go with my salad and oranges. The mackerel did look and smell very good. Jac […]
I’m still working through the posts from December! Better late than never, right? :D Some of you may remember that my sister Juji gave me a Dutch mini pancake maker for Christmas in 2008. Somehow (and I feel kind of bad about this) I didn’t get to use it until almost a year later! Well, […]
A Hungry Jack’s Whopper makes a fine brunch! I love HJ’s onion rings too. I can eat them hot or cold. The Whopper was a particularly oniony one this time, so this was a very oniony meal! Their nuggets are pretty good, though I prefer McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. There’s just nothing like a McNugget. I […]
We haven’t been to Spencer Village for such a long time. I just had to order hainan chicken rice and a can of A&W root beer. This is one of my favourite combinations ever. There aren’t many things better than salty delicious chicken rice with a cold can of root beer. I could have this […]
We still have lots of unpacked boxes and junk in the garage that we need to work through and tidy up before we can actually fit the car in there. Does this scenario sound familiar to any of you guys? We also use the garage to store Jac’s gardening tools, items we’ve bought in bulk […]
I love hot dogs! We made hot dogs for dinner one Friday night when we were both exhausted from work and wanted something quick and yummy. I’ve grown to love my hot dogs with both tomato sauce and what is called “mild American mustard” over here. To all my American friends, “American Mustard” happens to […]
A quick dinner at Nando’s! Jac ordered the BBQ chicken thigh pieces with a small garden salad. The salad, as always, came with two dressings – the traditional balsamic vinaigrette and the creamy trio of roasted bell peppers. Jac used the vinaigrette. I decided to try the new “Portugese paella”. You get grilled chicken breast…
