Those of you partial to breakfast posts should like this one! On the last Sunday in March, we had the buffet breakfast at Sizzler with Jac’s family, to celebrate my and Jac’s nephew Max’s birthdays. I was pleased to discover that you get Sizzler’s cheese toast at breakfast too! I know it’s nothing special, but [&hellip…
I have some fantastic news! My new niece Zoe was born yesterday, 28 February 2009. She arrived a month earlier than expected, but she and her mum Ange are doing well. Big sister Ruby has met Zoe already. Ange told us Ruby brought along a soft toy for her new little sister, and seemed quite […]
I can’t believe I missed posting this! The morning after our family reunion dinner, we “kids” got together again to go visit our relatives for Chinese New Year. Of course, this involved more eating – I didn’t have breakfast that morning, as I knew we’d be eating nonstop as we visited everyone. :) First stop [&hel…
My family celebrated Chinese New Year last weekend with a delicious family reunion dinner. This year, Mum cooked just one of the dishes – the must-have chap chye, which consists of cabbage, mushrooms and other fungi, beancurd skin and vermicelli. I’ve loved this dish ever since I was a child. We were all very pleased […]
I love giving gifts at Christmas. Obviously, for retail outlets, it’s the prime time of year to make lots of sales, but I don’t see gift-giving at Christmas as getting “sucked into commercialism”. For me, it’s an excuse to spoil people I care about, to make a fuss over them and bring a smile to […]
We had a late lunch with Jac’s family on Christmas day. It was close to 2pm by the time we sat down to eat, and I was ready again for another big meal. The theme of the day was meat – lots and lots of meat – vegetarians, this is your warning of what’s ahead! […]
This year for Christmas, my family got together for breakfast at my parents’ home. We made breakfast very early – Jac and I got there by 7:30am – because all of us “kids” were having lunch with our partners’ families that day. My sister CW put together this lovely fruit platter, with plums, peaches, nectarines, […
Hi guys! I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas. I’ve taken loads of photos over the past few days! My sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay came over for dinner on Christmas eve. Since we knew we’d be consuming lashings of ham, turkey and other meats the next day, we decided to have a seafood […]
Last Saturday was my first morning alone with Jac away in Sydney. I woke up around 7:30am, which for me is a sleep-in :). I had a cuppa, wrote a few emails, showered, got dressed and caught the train to visit my parents. I’d promised to help them choose and buy new mobile phones. The […]
We celebrated Jac’s niece Savannah’s birthday with a family dinner last Wednesday. Jac and I made savoury eggs (also known as devilled eggs), specially requested by the birthday girl herself. We weren’t able to get quail eggs this time, so we used ordinary chicken eggs. We ran out of curry powder, so the flavour of […]
