Teriyaki fish from Jaws Mint, East Perth (opposite the Perth Mint). It comes in one size with the fish, rice and pickled ginger. I always give my ginger to whoever I happen to be eating lunch with – I love ginger and like pickles normally, but for some reason I’ve never liked the Japanese pickled […]
My day at work had left me exhausted and crabby, and Jac knew what would cheer me up: a midweek dinner date at the International Eating House food hall in East Victoria Park! I’m a woman of simple pleasures. Jac had a small teriyaki fish set, with fish, vegetables, rice and miso soup from the […]
Garlic prawns and sparkling wineOur friends S and D came over with their two kids to see the new house. They had some exciting news of their own – their offer on a house had been accepted. They brought over a bottle of sparkling wine and we drank a toast to both our new houses. […]
This is a fisherman’s basket from the fish and chippie (that’s what we call the fish and chip shop). At our local fish and chippie, the fisherman’s basket comes with two small pieces of fish, four squid rings and two of each of the following: prawns, sea scallops and crab stick (well, as a cost-cutting […]
Yes, I know, I’ve featured Japanese curry before. But I wanted to share this photo with you. For some reason, the vegetables in the thick curry sauce – the carrot and potato cubes – looked so good, so abundant, to me. This curry really sang out “EAT ME!”

A recent dinner, of panfried lemon pepper fish (snapper fillets, I believe) with steamed vegetables – carrot and cauliflower, and one of my least favourite – baby brussels sprouts! It’s my own fault – I saw the bags of baby brussels sprouts in the supermarket and said to Jac, “Look! Baby brussels sprouts!” Silly …
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,…
Another fish and salad dinner: barramundi fillets coated in seasoned flour, served with garden salad and pasta salad. The garden salad was very simple: mixed greens, cucumber, capsicum and grape tomatoes. I ate it just as it was, no dressing. Jac used pasta bows (farfalle) in the pasta salad – she chopped the bows in […]
This is post 7 out of a series of 8 posts (the full list is at the end of this post). The dinner cruise the night before was fantastic, but we managed to have two magnificent meals the next day, our second-last day on Hamilton Island. I was keen to go out to lunch. While […]
