As workmate J said, when talking about my MYO toasted wraps: “You pick funny fillings. It’s just like a little kid’s been allowed to make her own sandwich.” :D I’ve mentioned before what my standard wrap fillings are: chicken, semi sundried tomatoes, pickles, corn, mushrooms, fruit chutney, pineapple, and sometimes gre…
We had a long weekend here in Western Australia in September. Jac went on a trip to Margaret River with her hockey team mates while I stayed home. I’m always quite happy to be home alone. I just do my own thing, usually spending most of the weekend sitting in my study at my computer, […]
Regular readers will know how much I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts. You’ll have seen posts where we’ve brought boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts back from interstate holidays. It’s a well known ritual for Western Australian Krispy Kreme fans, buying KK doughnuts at Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane airports before boarding our return flig…
Last month Jac made chicken enchiladas for dinner using an Old El Paso enchilada pack, which included soft corn tortillas and enchilada seasoning. She filled the tortillas with a chicken and bean mix, and topped them in the baking dish with lots of cheese and enchilada sauce which included more chunks of chicken. The smell […]
Jac bought me a chicken and vegetable pie from the supermarket – sorry guys, I don’t remember what brand it was. It was from a fridge and came in a plastic wrapper, ready to heat in the oven. On an evening on which I’d come home late from work and needed something warm and comforting […]
My day at work had left me exhausted and crabby, and Jac knew what would cheer me up: a midweek dinner date at the International Eating House food hall in East Victoria Park! I’m a woman of simple pleasures. Jac had a small teriyaki fish set, with fish, vegetables, rice and miso soup from the […]
I could eat chicken every day and not get sick of it. I could even eat chicken twice a day and not get sick of it. When my brother was little he loved chicken so much we used to call him “Chicken Boy”. I think he’s now a “Chicken Man” – and it seems I’ve […]
I really enjoyed this work lunch – bacon hock and lentil soup made by my younger sister Juji, which I ate with leftover mini pies. I microwaved the bacon and egg and caramelised onion pies, so they were kind of floppy and chewy. But they smelled glorious and were still a surprisingly tasty companion to […]
Last month, we had a family afternoon tea at my folks’ home to celebrate my sister Juji and my dad’s birthdays (my brother’s birthday is also in September, but his official celebration was at the recent 62nd birthday party). Everyone brought something along for afternoon tea, and it was quite a feast! Jac and I […]
Sometimes, I get lunch from MYO (135 Royal St, East Perth, next to Sushi @ Royal). My favourite thing to make is a toasted wrap. I have to be in the mood to get lunch from MYO though – I have to be in the mood to assemble the sandwich and then wait while it […]
