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 […]
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 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 […]
We had friends over for dinner. Jac bought marinated lamb ribs to serve for a starter. Here they are in the oven tray ready for cooking. Lamb ribs on a bed of greens, served as a shared starter. The ribs hadn’t looked like they had much meat on them, but I was wrong, they were […]
The pork and leek sausages and chicken kebabs stretched to another dinner and bento! DinnerJac sliced up the last of the leftover pork and leek sausages and took the last bits of chicken kebab off the skewers. She baked them in an oven dish with chicken drumsticks marinated in sweet soy. She referred affectionately to […]
Jac cooked up pork and leek sausages and some honey and soy chicken kebabs, all bought from the supermarket. The kebabs looked very black and I feared they were burnt – but they tasted great! Jac also fried up onions and mushrooms. She toasted bread rolls and I buttered them. We piled onions, mushrooms and […]
They’re savoury, they’re chickeny, they’re crunchy, they taste great with tomato sauce, they make me happy. That’s all.
Jac panfried chicken thighs seasoned with salt and pepper so I could use them for bento. I packed us some bread and butter, leftover potato salad, and made a quick salad of cos lettuce, carrot, cucumber, snow peas and pickles. Of course, I had to include a little note for Jac in her lunch box. […]
Workmate J and I had lunch at Basil Leaves (82 Royal St, East Perth). We sat at one of the tables outside and enjoyed the sunshine on a warm fine day. J’d had a craving for Thai green curry for some time, and she didn’t hesitate to order the Thai green chicken curry with rice. […]
Thank goodness it’s Friday. Since we’re on a junk food theme, here’s more! The chicken looked a little burnt (“A little?!” you’ve probably scoffed, looking at the photo!) this time, but it tasted great. Along with the Whopper, the Grilled Chicken Burger is one of my favourite burgers from Hungry Jack’s. I a…
