We were at the shops recently and Jac had a craving for eggs benedict. She asked if I’d mind if we ate breakfast at Niche Cafe. Regular readers may remember that cafe as the Burger Fail cafe. :) I decided to stay clear of the burgers this time and ordered bacon and scrambled eggs with […]
The painters arrived at the house at 6am. They were very impressed with the packing we’d done, leaving them easy access to the walls. With Juji and Jay’s help, we’d packed all the books into boxes and then hauled the bookshelves out of the house and packed them away in the garage. Anyone who’s been […]
Just catching up on the photos from the time I was sick recently. I was definitely too sick to go into work, but not too sick to take photos of my meals. :) Here’s the first – a comforting meal at the best of times, very good for when I’m unwell – boiled eggs with […]
We took Jac’s nephew and niece out to breakfast the next morning. We met up with Jac’s cousin K at Dome. I didn’t get photos of everyone’s breakfast – just Jac’s and mine. Jac ordered the eggs benedict. She enjoyed the eggs, toast, spinach and ham, but like many places, the hollandaise served on the […]
We enjoyed a lovely hot breakfast recently at Food for Me (895 Albany Highway, East Victoria Park), washed down with creamy strong cappucino (Jac) and a pot of English breakfast tea (me). If a menu features eggs benedict or a similar dish of poached eggs and hollandaise, that’s what Jac will always order. At Food […]
I was very pleased with these bento boxes I put together for us. I’d asked Jac what she’d like for lunch, to which she said, “Cold meat, salad and pickles.” That’s exactly what I packed us – with a few extra bits and pieces. This was my lunch. On the left: hard-boiled egg, salad (lettuce, […]
DinnerJac made patties using tinned salmon and mashed potato. She served them with steamed broccoli and carrot. I ate my salmon patties with tomato sauce. BentoJac had made some mini salmon patties specially for the next day’s bento. I packed us mini patties with little containers of Newman’s Own Southwest Dressing as dip, potato salad,…
For bento the next day, I sliced up the last chicken thigh left over from Mothers Day lunch and served it with hard-boiled egg, garden salad, potato salad, and bread and butter. In Jac’s lunch I packed sliced radish and red onion. Radish is another vegetable I’ve never liked. Do any of you like eating […]
A recent home cooked breakfast – Jac panfried the mushrooms in butter and toasted the bread. I made the scrambled eggs. I spread kaya thickly on my toast – yum! In egg-related news, we’ve been discussing keeping chooks in our backyard again. We had three isa brown hens a few years ago, and their eggs […]
