The takeaway came from a place called Angkor Cafe, which is at 144 Murray Street in Perth. According to its menu Angkor Cafe provides “A taste of South East Asia”, and accordingly its menu features Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese-style dishes. I bought three dishes. First, “Angkor Fried Rice” ($6.90) – fried ric…
Since neither of us gets back to work (well work for Jac, back to thesis/uni for me) until Monday, we decided to go shopping again for bookshelves on Friday. We’d made a number of unsuccessful shopping excursions on previous occasions, but just couldn’t seem to find the right bookshelves to buy. We ended up going […]
This will be my last post for a little while. We leave early tomorrow morning for Geraldton. I will check my email while we are away if I get the opportunity, but there will definitely not be any updates to this site during that time. Rest assured though, I plan to take lots of photos […]
On Thursday night we’d planned to go to the shops and grab some dinner while we were out, but when Jac got home we had to ring and wait for a guy from the RAC to rock up – the car key was stuck in the ignition and Jac couldn’t get it out. The RAC […]
Alternative title: About Phood and Phones. First, Food (or is that Phirst, Phood?) This weekend will be a busy one, so I thought I’d do a Thursday night post for a change. We had a delicious chinese chicken salad for dinner on Monday night, made with Lee Kum Kee Sauce for Chinese Chicken Salad. This […]
Jac made fried rice on Monday. It was especially yummy because it had roast pork in it – roast pork that had been in our freezer since Mother’s Day! On Tuesday we had panfried pork steaks with vegies. The vegies were sauteed potatoes and garlic, steamed cabbage and zucchini, and orange mash. The potatoes were […]
It was just a matter of time before SPAM fried rice made another appearance. Oh – but this wasn’t made using the SPAM Single! I forgot I had that in the pantry and opened a tin of SPAM instead. Doh! For those not familiar with my SPAM fried rice, it is very easy: first, I […]
This evening we attended the launch of my Honours supervisor’s new novel. The event was held in a function room at a restaurant in Fremantle, and the book was officially launched with a speech (complete with a very funny blooper!) by the author Tim Winton. I would’ve taken photos of the finger food that was […]
It’s really great when Jac is in a cooking mood. As I sat in my study cataloguing books (I’m up to 690 so far), she got busy cooking up all sorts of yummy things. She made a big pan of fried rice (here you can see it has green beans, carrots, baby corn and ham […]
I actually cooked dinner tonight, which is very unusual for a Friday! I used the rest of the tin of SPAM to make fried rice. I chopped the SPAM up into cubes and fried them in a small frypan until they were nicely browned and crisp on the edges (but still moist and bouncy). Once […]
