Two Saturdays ago, we went to the shops in the morning and grabbed some brunch at the food hall. Jac had a steak and salad burger, which she rather enjoyed. The steak was freshly grilled and was quite tender. As Jac usually has to ask for “heavy lettuce”, she was very pleased with the generous […]
Last Wednesday night, I grabbed us dinner from Poppo Korean and Japanese Restaurant (Barrack St, Perth – see a previous takeaway dinner from Poppo, and a dine-in experience at Poppo, featuring my favourite sushi photos). I’d already eaten Japanese for my lunch that day, but Jac was really in the mood for Korean or Japanese […]
I used our dinner leftovers in our bento boxes on Tuesday. Jac’s bento – on the left: crumbed fish and steamed broccoli, and in the “Tasty” container – tartare sauce. On the right: potato salad on a bed of cos, steamed butternut pumpkin sprinkled with dried chives. I’d asked Jac to bake me a couple […]
For dinner last Monday night we had oven-baked frozen crumbed fish fillets and beer battered thick-cut chips with steamed butternut pumpkin, broccoli and green beans. Jac had tartare sauce with her fish, and I had tomato sauce for my fish and my chips. Those beer battered chips are fantastic – they’re crunchy and salty and […]
Monday night’s been fish and salad (or vegies) night for a while now. Last week’s Monday dinner was panfried fillets of red emperor with two salads. First, a pre-packed Greek-style salad (complete with mixed greens, red onion, olives and cubed feta cheese), to which Jac added sliced fresh cherry tomatoes. Second, a potato salad Jac [&he…
11/05/2008 – a fry-up for breakfast, with fried eggs, bacon, garlic mushrooms and tinned spaghetti. That’s ground black pepper on the eggs, by the way (it kind of looks like dirt, doesn’t it? :)). I don’t mind tinned spaghetti once in a while. Not a fan of having it on toast, though. Actually, I don’t […]
4/5/2008 – Jac panfried barramundi fillets which she’d coated in seasoned flour. She served them with mashed sweet potato and salad (sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber). The fish was imported barramundi from Woolworths. The delicate white flesh beneath the seasoned golden outer crust was exquisitely flaky and moist.…
21/04/2008 – fish and vegies. Panfried fish with steamed broccoli and carrots, steamed red cabbage and Jac’s “non-dairy potato bake”. The fish was coated in seasoned flour before frying. The steamed red cabbage was flavoured with Worchestershire sauce. The “non-dairy potato bake” was a cooking experiment that tur…
12/4/2008 – Jac made a stew using a tin of cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, chicken thigh pieces, potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. She baked it in the oven in a casserole dish. It smelled and looked absolutely fantastic. She served me up a big bowl of the chicken stew with steamed broccoli and […]
From last week, Monday – imported frozen basa fillets, seasoned and panfried, served with steamed cabbage and broccoli, corn on the cob, orange mash (cooked carrot and sweet potato seasoned and then mashed with butter) and Ainsley Harriot “Moroccan Medley” instant cous cous. Jac didn’t like the cous cous at all. I didn’…
