Still unpacking and settling in, I ate a Lean Cuisine for dinner one night during our first week in our new house. This is the box – Lean Cuisine Meatball Arrabiata,. Looks pretty good, don’t you think? Here’s the real thing, fresh out of the microwave. It looked good to me, but certainly different from […]
My workmate C brought some cupcakes to work that his wife had made and shared them around. The chocolate icing was finger-sucking good and the cake was moist and buttery – I really enjoyed this unexpected sweet treat, and the piped swirls of icing and the colourful hundreds and thousands said “PARTY” (well, we were […]
Moving weekend featured lots of junk food. Juji and Jay came round to help on Saturday morning and brought us breakfast from McDonald’s – bacon and egg mcmuffins, hash browns, OJ for me and a cappucino for Jac. We all took a lunch break a few hours later – Jac’s mum Pattycakes and I did […]
Pixel had a little play in the laundry sink at our old house a couple of nights before we moved. She sat there, rubbed her cheeks on the taps and looked around, quite smug. Little did she realise this would be her last time playing in that old laundry sink! She hasn’t been allowed to […]
It had been a tough night of packing, with plenty of perspiration and a few short tempered moments (I can be quite a spitfire, you know! LOL). Cooking dinner was out of the question – enter Dominos pizza! I think it saved the marriage that evening! :D We ordered two pizzas plus a couple of […]
On the night we got the keys, we spent some time just walking around in the empty house, excited and amazed that this was really going to be our new home. We made plans – things to do leading up to the move – and lists of things we needed to get for the house. […]
Jac baked chicken schnitzels in the oven, along with potato wedges, butternut pumpkin and carrot. She blanched some broccoli and panfried mushrooms with butter and garlic. It was a tasty dinner. The chicken was crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. I loved the whole garlic cloves Jac cooked with the mushrooms […]
Another day, another Design Your Own Noodlebox! It’s been the same design every time in the past few weeks: thick egg noodles with chicken, tofu, egg, bok choy and fish cake, stir-fried in oyster sauce. I’ve been getting the regular (big) sized noodle box – it’s a hefty deliciously satisfying feed! Workmate J got herself [&h…
I can’t believe I forgot to post this! :-O That same day, before our fabulous birthday feast of finger foods, Jac and I attended breakfast at my parents’ home to celebrate my Mum’s birthday! Yes, it was a big day of eating! :D We didn’t need lunch that day! When Jac and I walked in, […]
Fans of family feasts, you guys will LOVE this post! We celebrated Jac’s mum Pattycakes’ birthday last month with a feast of finger foods. Jac and I contributed to the feast, but most items were prepared by Kelsie, Jac’s sister-in-law, and she did an amazing job. Kels, if you’re reading this and I’ve gotten any [&helli…
