Saturday night barbecue dinner

Happy new year, everyone! (I know it’s not quite 2010 for all of you yet though!) A few weeks ago, Jac fired up the barbecue and cooked chicken sausages, onions and potatoes on it. She sliced and parboiled the potatoes before putting them on the barbie. We both love barbecued onions, and Jac cooked up […]

Barbecue chicken with coleslaw, then with Indomie

Lunch – barbecue chicken and coleslaw from the supermarket. The chicken with salty skin, meat falling off the bones, finger-sucking good. Dinner – Indomie mi goreng, the original flavour. We had some chicken left over from lunch. I took the meat off the bones, zapped it in the microwave, then served it with the noodles […]

After the first bite I ate very slowly, […]

Scrambled eggs on toast

A Sunday breakfast of a few weeks ago: I scrambled the eggs, Jac toasted the bread. I like it when Jac cooks but I love it even more when we cook together. And what’s great is our new kitchen is bigger and has a better layout than the old one, so it’s easier for us […]

Billy Lee in the bathroom and Merry Christmas!

On weekday mornings, as I get ready for work, the cats like to hang out in the bathroom while I take a shower. Billy Lee especially loves to sit on the bathroom counter. Doesn’t she look relaxed? I can’t believe it’s only a few hours to Christmas, and I can’t believe I don’t have to […]

Dinner – flat rice noodles with marinated pork and turkey

This was a delicious rice noodle stir-fry Jac cooked, with sliced turkey steaks and pork steaks! She’d bought the turkey steaks and pork steaks fully intending to cook them up in whitey meals, but the hungry glutton she cooks for had a craving for something more Asian! She stir-fried the turkey and pork with bok […]

Leftover sausage fried rice

Since there was sausage left over from breakfast and I had a rice craving, Jac made fried rice, with chopped up sausage, corn, peas and mushrooms, and a big handful of chopped fresh spring onion. She flavoured the rice with Maggi Seasoning (at the linked page, it’s called Maggi Liquid Seasoning, and it’s the second […]

Red velvet cupcakes, then breakfast

After our dinner at Cinnamon on the Park, we all went back to our place and Juji and Jay stayed the night. The next morning, we remembered the red velvet cupcakes Juji had made the day before – she’d brought half a dozen cupcakes with her! They were red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing. […]
