Last month, we attended a 62nd birthday party at my brother’s place. It wasn’t really someone’s 62nd birthday – we were celebrating my brother’s 30th, his wife/my sister-in-law’s 30th and my niece Ruby’s 2nd birthday: 30 + 30 + 2 = 62! There was so much food at the party! These were brie and leek […]
A dinner of KFC Original Recipe (a drumstick and a thigh, of course! ^_^), chips, coleslaw and potato and gravy, eaten at the coffee table while watching cartoons on TV.
I posted a link on the TFP Facebook page to a news story – Nestle buyout kills iconic ice creams. I was devastated to find out that the Hazelnut Roll ice cream will no longer be available once the current stocks run out. I don’t eat a lot of ice cream, but there are two […]
Jac bought turkey bacon for a change, and fried it up with eggs for our breakfast. I had a couple of slices of turkey bacon with an egg (yep, over easy, also for a change – I usually have sunny side up), with two slices of fluffy fresh white bread, one spread thickly with kaya. […]
With the dishwasher installed, we threw the box in the recycling bin. All that was left was this old blanket, which the dishwasher installer man used to drag the dishwasher box across the kitchen floor. Pixel sat on the blanket for ages. With no more dishwasher box to sit on, Billy Lee just jumped right […]
An interesting dinner which I enjoyed! Ovenfried crumbed chicken fingers, homemade potato wedges, ovenbaked roma tomatoes and an experimental mushroom and carrot dish, all served with aioli for dipping. The experimental mushroom and carrot dish was cooked in a sauce made with cream of chicken soup. Aioli is my all-time favourite dipping sauce for p…
Jac panfried these pork steaks and served them with stir-fried noodles with mushrooms and cabbage, topped with pickled green chillies. We buy big jars of pickled green chillies from the asian supermarket – they are so good with so many things. Jac loves to eat them with Indomie mi goreng. If you like pickled green […]
I mentioned some time ago on the TFP Facebook page that we bought a dishwasher. The cats loved the dishwasher. Well, the dishwasher box. We bought the dishwasher on a late night Thursday at the shops but didn’t get it installed until over a week later. In the meantime, the cats had a great time […]
I bought this takeaway lunch from the curry bar at IGA supermarket on Royal St in East Perth: basmati rice, eggplant curry, cream potatoes and a piece of salmon with a mango glaze. I’m not one for fruit sauces with meat /fish, so I was surprised at how yummy it was. I hadn’t realised it […]
Jac started out thinking she’d cook a chicken curry, but the dish ended up more like a spicy chicken stew, with chicken thigh pieces, potato, carrot, beans and onion. The chicken stock-based gravy flavoured with curry powder tasted fantastic, especially soaked into the rice! I loved it and told Jac she should make it again. […]
