It was an unusual day at the office yesterday, because most of the people I share the office with (also PhD students) were actually in for a change. It was nice, but very distracting because of the constant chatter. It’s an open plan office and not a very big space, so it’s hard to not […]
Jac made fried rice on Monday. It was especially yummy because it had roast pork in it – roast pork that had been in our freezer since Mother’s Day! On Tuesday we had panfried pork steaks with vegies. The vegies were sauteed potatoes and garlic, steamed cabbage and zucchini, and orange mash. The potatoes were […]
I’m back again, after one and a half episodes of Magnum P.I. while aerofitting. Jac is at her hockey club’s season windup, hopefully having a good time. It’s just me now, in my tracksuit sitting in front of the pc, with Magnum on the telly and Billy Lee purring at my feet. Pixel, who doesn’t […]
I’ve wanted to post during the week but didn’t have time, and so tonight there will be multiple posts for your pleasure! Here’s the first. This was lunch on Monday at uni. From left to right: vegetable curry (with zucchini, cauliflower, celery and carrot), teriyaki chicken and green curry chicken, on rice. The green curry [&hellip…
Last week, Jac made a Thai green chicken curry with onions, sugar snap peas and baby corn. I really like zucchini in my green curry, but we didn’t have any :-(. She used a jar of Asia At Home Thai green curry paste. Really easy and delicious. I have to work on my chapter today. […]
Lunch today at uni was steamed rice with chicken curry and vegetable curry. The vegetable curry had yummy pieces of fried tofu in it, which I really enjoyed. The chicken curry was tasty as usual. As you can see, I had lots of curry gravy on the rice too. I have half a chapter I’m […]
The university is auditing rooms around campus for the rest of the year. I could been an auditor again but declined this time around to focus on my thesis. I’d love the extra money, but if I am to stay on track for a mid-February submission I can’t afford to take on any new distractions. […]
I went to uni today as I needed to print off a bunch of articles (we have a pretty good laser printer in the shared office, BYO paper; I have a shitty old bubblejet printer at home that is no good for bulk printing). Any hoo, for lunch today MK and I grabbed some asian […]
Here was one of our dinners this week: rice with chicken curry and bok choy. The chicken curry was really simple – chicken thighs, onion, green beans and carrots cooked with Yeo’s Malaysian mild curry sauce. I blanched the bok choy in boiling water for about a minute and a half, then drained it and […]
This will be my second-last marking weekend (30 x 2,000 word essays, with two more coming in on Monday) for the semester. The next and final marking weekend (coming up in a fortnight’s time) will feature the marking of exam papers. I can’t wait till I am finished with all the marking and have submitted […]
