I love cold leftover pizza

A fantastic lunch I ate at work! Leftover pizza, homemade by Brad and Kelsie in their new pizza oven. Jac had been to their house for dinner the night before – I had some work to do and chose to stay home. When Jac came home, she carried with a plate of leftover pizza! So […]

Jac bought a barbecue chicken from Woolworths, the kind that comes seasoned in the bag and ready to cook in the microwave or conventional oven. I was pleased to discover it came with stuffing too! She cooked it in the oven and chicken turned out moist and tender and fell off the bone. Jac served […]

A shared bacon and egg burger

We went to swapmeet a few Sundays ago. I was a little grumpy about it at first. Usually, I find it hard to sleep in on weekend, even if I’m tired – I wake up for apparently no reason much too early and once my eyes open my brain gets going and refuses to let […]

Teriyaki fish

Teriyaki fish from Jaws Mint, East Perth (opposite the Perth Mint). It comes in one size with the fish, rice and pickled ginger. I always give my ginger to whoever I happen to be eating lunch with – I love ginger and like pickles normally, but for some reason I’ve never liked the Japanese pickled […]
