Quite a few people emailed and left comments asking about Jac’s creamy mushroom sauce which we had with T-bone steaks recently. There wasn’t a recipe as such – Jac made it up on the night using whatever was in the fridge and pantry. But I asked if she’d jot it all down for you guys, […]
Dinner last Friday night – Chicken Tonight Creamy Mushroom, with chicken thigh meat and added mushrooms, garlicky, buttery mashed potato and steamed broccoli. You may be able to tell from the photo that some of the mushrooms were on the “old” side – they’re very very brown. They tasted fine though, mixed in with newer …
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 ̵…
Sunday, 30th December. I woke up nice and early, took a couple of photos… …and then went back to bed and slept in. We got up when it was bright and sunny and got ready to go out to breakfast.

For dinner last night, Jac made a chicken and mushroom casserole, with carrots, green beans and capsicum, which she served with mashed potatoes and steamed corn on the cob. Delicious, and I had leftovers for dinner again tonight!
Jac and her mum were originally supposed to go on a road trip together over the Easter long weekend to see her brother B, his partner K and their kids in Kalgoorlie, but there were a few unforeseen technical complications which made this impossible (long story, I won’t elaborate further). And after many alternative Plans […]
This was dinner on the 1st of April, which seems so very long ago! Jac marinated fresh tuna steaks in teriyaki sauce and ginger, and then panfried them. We’re not into the pink in the middle, seared on the outside/rare in the middle tuna that is so trendy these days – we prefer our fish […]
Belated text to go with the pictures: This was a very basic cheese and mustard on toast. The cheese was Farmers Union Old Bitey (just the name makes me want to eat it! It is yuuuuuummy cheese!) and we used Australian mustard to add a little more bitey-ness. But just the cheese on its own […]
