As we sit in Izakaya Fujiyama in Surry Hills, picking away at a massive tuna jaw with chopsticks and forks, I ask Sydneysider Helen if she’s got any suggestions for a good breakfast place the next day. “What about Lumiere?” she suggests. “They do French toast with bacon, maple syrup and caramelised banana.” It’s …
While Jac was away in January, I made French toast for my breakfast but cooked a little extra so I’d have some to snack on whenever. I used four slices of bread, each cut into half. I dipped each piece of bread into a mixture of two beaten eggs, a splash of soy milk and […]
I love Christmas ham! This time we enjoyed thick slices of ham lightly panfried, served with French toast and maple syrup. We had leftovers from two different Christmas hams this year, which we froze and then retrieved later. This was the ham from Christmas breakfast with my family. There really isn’t that much more to […]
Breakfast at Leonardo’s Cafe at Carousel Shopping Centre on a Saturday morning. We started with drinks – a iced mocha frappe (AU$5.90) for Jac and a large apple juice (AU$3.80) for me. Jac’s mocha frappe was very sweet, but cold and refreshing. Jac ordered a “shark bait” sandwich on multi-grain bread (AU$11.95), which …
A quick and easy breakfast I made for us on a recent Sunday morning – french toast. I usually add either a spoon of raw sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup to the egg mix before dipping the bread into it. I like to really soak the bread in the egg mix – I […]
A bento lunch I packed for myself – leftover barbecue chicken with salad (lettuce, carrot sticks, corn kernels, sweet gherkin pickle slices, red seedless grapes and the last of the corn kernels), Kewpie mayonnaise in a bear head-shaped container, and French toast squares. I didn’t pack any maple syrup to go with these French toast [&hel…
This is the first of a series of 8 posts (the full list is at the end of the post). Most of you have probably worked out by now that we went to Hamilton Island for our recent holiday. We were on Hamilton Island for a week, Wednesday to Wednesday, with Jac’s brother’s wedding on […]
For the second day in a row, I went out to breakfast with a friend. This time, I met up with my friend Chad at Etro (49 King St, Perth). I’ve enjoyed a rather large fry-up here previously. Etro’s a good place for breakfast before work as it opens at 7am. Not enough places open […]
For lunch last Wednesday, I packed myself a hard-boiled egg and salad (spinach leaves, cucumber, mushrooms, red capsicum, and blanched green beans), with a rolled-up slice of Jarlsberg Light cheese, sliced sweet gherkin pickles and a few semi-dried tomatoes. I also made French toast squares, and packed a little bottle of maple syrup to go [……
Last Sunday I woke up around 9am, walked to the local deli to buy a copy of the Sunday Times, then came home and cooked myself breakfast – three rashers of bacon, really eggy French toast made with multigrain bread, and panfried golden tomatoes. I poured maple syrup over the French toast (a little maple […]
