On one of the nights Jac was away I went to Noodlebox (118 Royal St, East Perth) after work and got a takeaway regular chicken pad thai. I ordered my pad thai without peanuts but with fish cake. I love fish cake so much, especially in a noodle stir-fry. Noodlebox’s regular size is HUGE. Sometimes […]
My sister and her hubby came to visit from Sydney – which meant FAMILY FEAST! We all got together at my parents’ home for some serious eating. Mum made a hantu curry with pork belly and green beans. You are supposed to use snake beans in this dish, but the snake beans were really expensive […]
A feed of pizza home delivery with extra bits. Well actually, it goes further than a single feed… First, Domino’s cheesy garlic bread. We like this a lot more than the original garlic bread. I guess it’s the magic of cheese – it’s just a lot tastier than the ordinary garlic bread. Domino’s chicken carbonara. [&he…
DinnerJac used up the last of the strasburg sausage, chicken, corn and green beans and cooked up a batch of fried rice. She flavoured it with Maggi Original Seasoning. (On the Nestle Australia Maggi Asian Sauces page, they refer to it as Maggi Liquid Seasoning – in the picture of sauce bottles, it’s second from […]
I met Jac at the shops after work. We had a couple of bills to pay and I needed to buy vitamins. After we’d done those tasks, just as I was about to say “I’m really tired. Could we just get some dinner and go home?” Jac looked at me and said “Do you mind […]

Sponsored by Nuffnang I’ve eaten DON smoked bacon on a Dominos 7 meats pizza and thought it was delicious. So when presented with the opportunity to create a recipe using DON smallgoods, write about it here on the blog and help launch a competition, I didn’t hesitate. Aussie bloggers, make sure you check out the […]
Jac emailed me during the day and said she’d be cooking roast chicken and vegies for dinner. Excellent! I looked forward to it and couldn’t wait to get home! :-P She served the roast chicken with roasted potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions and steamed broccoli. My favourite of the roasted vegetables was the sweet […]
Whether the day is boring, stressful or surprisingly good, fried chicken and rice makes it better. And funnily enough, a few weeks later, fried chicken did its magic again… though it looks like they skimped on the rice.
“How about chicken stew for dinner?” Jac asked me. “Yes please!” I replied. “Chicken stew for dinner ANY TIME!” She served the stew in a big bowl over rice. I took my first mouthful. YUM! “Mmmmm! How did you cook this rice?” I asked. “I used half water, half chicken stew juice,” she said, …
