Short stories: McDonald’s Big Breakfast
I've never stopped missing the old Big Breakfast.
Indian takeaway lunch from Maya Masala at Westfield Carousel: butter chicken, vegetable curry, chicken biryani and crispy onion bhaji. Always while I’m enjoying eating my Indian food I’m also secretly thinking about how awesome the leftovers will be the next day for breakfast. In our family it’s perfectly normal to be planning or …
Continuing with the burger theme… Jac tried the McDonald’s Grand Angus burger for the first time and was very impressed. She said it was the best McDonald’s burger she’s ever eaten. She liked it because: 1) the beef had a great flavour and was a decent thickness – a really good, meaty chew, just how […]
Moving weekend featured lots of junk food. Juji and Jay came round to help on Saturday morning and brought us breakfast from McDonald’s – bacon and egg mcmuffins, hash browns, OJ for me and a cappucino for Jac. We all took a lunch break a few hours later – Jac’s mum Pattycakes and I did […]
While we were packing up the house so it could be painted, things were pretty hectic. Neither of us took time off work – I couldn’t, anyway – I’d resigned from my job and had four weeks notice to work through, so no way was I going to ask for any favours. Believe me, we […]
This was a kind of naughty junk food bento – a McDonald’s bento, with Chicken McNuggets and a sachet of tomato sauce, and a McDonald’s apple pie for dessert. I also included one of my sweet crunchy salad combos – with mixed greens, grape tomatoes, sliced sweet gherkin pickles, grapes and swiss cheese – the […]
We’ve been very naughty lately, eating takeaway at home and eating junk food when we’re at the shops! I’ve gone from having a Filet-O-Fish thing to having a Big Mac thing! Jac felt like a beef burger with salad in it (“But not a Big Mac”, she said), so I got her a McFeast. This […]
“What shall we eat?” we asked each other, as we lay in bed on a Saturday morning. “I’d love a Sausage and Egg McMuffin,” I said, thinking about a rubbery, spicy sausage pattie with an overcooked fried egg and chewy melted orange cheese. “Well, let’s go then!” said Jac. We went through the McDonaldR…
I was craving a McChicken recently and went to McDonald’s and got one. Sometimes I don’t try to fight the cravings – they just hang around or come back even more powerful than before. The McChicken was great, but the fries were sad and soggy. Sad, but that seems to be the way most of […]
I had McDonald’s for dinner last Thursday night and bought an extra pack of Chicken McNuggets so I’d have some protein for my bento lunch the next day. Yes, I know McNuggets aren’t the healthiest food item. But I packed lots of vegetables to eat with them, so it wasn’t all bad! I packed blanched […]
