Dinner: corned beef with mustard sauce and vegetables Jac cooked a chunk of corned beef (sometimes called silverside) for dinner recently. I think my US readers will know this as boiled beef brisket. We get our corned beef from the supermarket. It’s a great dinner, with meat and vegetables all cooked in the same pot. […]
Mmmm, bacon… Jac gave me a lift to the train station one morning and we stopped to grab breakfast at a lunch bar on the way – takeaway bacon and egg toasted sandwiches. I didn’t unwrap my sandwich until I was at my desk at work, and I was thrilled to see the layers of […]
This is one of my favourite snacks: a hard-boiled egg with soy sauce and black pepper. It’s a great little snack when I’m feeling a peckish and craving a little something savoury. This can be at any time, really – morning, afternoon or night! Sometimes I eat a hot egg, freshly hard-boiled; sometimes I’ll eat […]
This is Pixel. She wants a bite of ham steak. On a weekend a few weeks ago, Jac fried ham steaks for both of us. She fried me one egg, sunny side up (I asked for one egg instead of my usual two). She poached herself a couple of eggs, and with a packet of […]
A Sunday breakfast of a few weeks ago: I scrambled the eggs, Jac toasted the bread. I like it when Jac cooks but I love it even more when we cook together. And what’s great is our new kitchen is bigger and has a better layout than the old one, so it’s easier for us […]
After our dinner at Cinnamon on the Park, we all went back to our place and Juji and Jay stayed the night. The next morning, we remembered the red velvet cupcakes Juji had made the day before – she’d brought half a dozen cupcakes with her! They were red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing. […]
Sunday breakfast on our patio! We never had a patio at the old house. Well, we planned to build one but never got around to it (when we sold the house, it was still patio-less). As you can see, someone had a full breakfast fry-up, and someone else had a toasted sandwich. I’m sure it’s […]
We went to Canning Vale Markets recently and enjoyed a spot of brunch at the Market City Cafe. I had a small asian combination (AU$7.50), of fried rice, thai green curry chicken and stir-fried chicken noodles. This was great! The curry was especially tasty – lots of chicken, all succulent thigh pieces. Jac ordered “Don’s [……
Home alone with no one to talk to. Seems appropriate that this is what I’m posting tonight. I met up with my friend Chad for breakfast last month at Bar One, in the QV1 complex in the city. Please excuse the quality of the photos – it was very dark in there (besides steam from […]
