Workmate J and I got takeaway noodles from Noodlebox for our lunch. Her design-your-own noodles featured thin egg noodles, snow peas, fish cake and roast pork. I ordered off the menu for a change and chose chicken pad thai – oh my goodness, it was awesome! Really really tasty! Definitely an “order again” for sure. […]
It’s now $4 a box but I still love it. Fried rice from Wellington Street Bus Station makes a perfect breakfast. I sneak my box of fried rice into the kitchen and quietly heat it up in the microwave hoping no one will come in and ask me what that smell is and ask, “What, […]
Jac grabbed us takeaway dinner from Nando’s. For me, four chicken thigh pieces in BBQ rib sauce. For herself, a chicken ribs pack. While she was out getting the chicken, I threw a salad together, with mixed greens, carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, corn kernels and sweet gherkin pickles. I set the table, with placemats, salt […]
This year’s Melbourne Cup lunch at work featured pizza from Stuzzico and yummy contributions from workmates who volunteered to bring something in. We ordered two full pizzas (1.5 metres long each) – one meat and one vegetarian. The vegetarian pizza was rocket, feta and olive. The meat one was prosciutto pizza. B brought homemade sausage…
It’s great that our new address is not far from the old one, because it means we can get Chinese home delivery from the same place we’ve been getting it from for over ten years! This time, six dishes. First: hokkien noodles. Not as saucy as I would like, and too much beef for my […]
Jac and I went to Sizzler for breakfast with her family to celebrate her niece Savannah’s birthday. The last time we had breakfast at Sizzler, we were presented with plates of complimentary cheese toast as soon as we sat down. Back then I was a little surprised to get cheese toast at breakfast – I […]
As I put away the leftovers from our family dinner I packed the next day’s lunch for Jac and me. There were three chicken skewers left; I pulled the meat off the skewers and divided it between two lunch boxes. I added lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, sliced sweet gherkin pickles, tasty cheese and asparagus. […]
Jac’s brother Jon was over from Sydney and we had a family dinner, the first one held at our new house. We served nibblies out on the patio. The sun was setting when I took this photo – it wasn’t quite dark enough to turn the lights on, but I guess I should’ve for better […]
On a Wednesday night a few weeks ago, Jac went out to dinner with her hockey team mates. Since I knew I’d be too lazy to cook dinner for myself, I stopped by Noodlebox on my way home and picked up a regular (big) box of Design Your Own noodles. It was my usual combo: […]
Grilled snapper fillets, microwaved-steamed potatoes and salad (lettuce, cucumber, grape tomatoes, corn). The parsley garnish was immediately removed and placed on Jac’s plate after I photographed my dinner. :-P Jac seasoned the fish with salt and pepper, topped each piece with a little butter and placed them under the grill. She’s stil…
