I had dinner with a colleague and friend, V, last Thursday evening. We went to The Royal (Corner Plain and Royal Streets, East Perth). I’m actually quite surprised we found time to eat that night, as we just talked and talked and talked and talked! Although we’ve worked under the same roof within sight of […]
Last Sunday night, Jac cooked up a wonderful chicken and mushroom dish with chicken thigh meat and a combination of tinned champignons, fresh button mushrooms and rehydrated dried shitake mushrooms. Flavoured with mushroom soy sauce, chilli and chicken stock, it was a chicken and mushroom lover’s delight. She also stir-fried some vegies ̵…
Monday, 11/2/2008. SRM and I had lunch at Kome. I ordered the large teriyaki chicken bento (AU$8.90). SRM ordered the combination bento – with your rice, salad and miso soup, you can choose any two out of teriyaki chicken/katsu chicken/karaage chicken/teriyaki fish (the last time I had this it cost AU$9.90. Not sure if the […]
A couple of dinners from this week – first, panfried fish fillets seasoned with lemon pepper… …served with a simple fresh salad garnished with hard-boiled eggs. And a tasty beef casserole made with celery, carrots, mushrooms and red wine, served with mashed potato.
Vegetable soup, made with celery, cabbage, tomato, pumpkin, onions and carrot. I think Jac adapted this recipe from the Cabbage Soup Diet. We don’t actually do that diet, but we really like the cabbage soup. It’s a great way to use up all the vegies. We also had snapper fillets sprinkled with dried herbs, wrapped […]
15/01/2008. Panfried pork chops with Lee Kum Kee oriental sauce for pork chop, served with green beans stir fried with oyster sauce, onions and garlic. The pork chops were lean but juicy and cooked by Jac to tender perfection. The oriental sauce was great – sweet and syrupy and finger-sucking good, it would’ve been fantastic […]
We went to Spencer Village for dinner in our first week back after holidays. Jac’s been in a sashimi place for months and months now, and the trend continues! She ordered a plate of salmon sashimi from the Japanese stall. Even though I’m not a fan of raw fish, I must say I thought this […]
New Year’s Day Because of the street parties with fireworks going on for most of the night, I didn’t actually get to sleep until around 4:30AM. So on New Year’s Day even though I wasn’t hungover like the others, I still felt like crap from being exhausted. After sleeping in Jac and I went for […]
Back in early December when we talked about what we wanted to do on our holiday, Jac suggested we spend a weekend in Newcastle, since I’ve never been there. Although we were both really looking forward to spending time with the girls at Nelson Bay, the idea of going off on our own for a […]
I’m sure Leika would approve of a nice piece of fish, so here goes! For dinner last night, Jac panfried salmon fillets until they had a delicious crispy crust. I assembled the salad (lettuce, cucumber, baby roma tomatoes, so lovely and fresh) and fruit (orange – so juicy! – and apple) on the plate. The […]
