Jac grabbed us takeaway dinner from Nando’s. For me, four chicken thigh pieces in BBQ rib sauce. For herself, a chicken ribs pack. While she was out getting the chicken, I threw a salad together, with mixed greens, carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, corn kernels and sweet gherkin pickles. I set the table, with placemats, salt […]
Here’s a Nando’s Party Pack for two, a real chickenfest: two quarter chickens (with drumsticks), two chicken thigh pieces* and two chicken tenderloins. Jac got them basted in Nando’s BBQ rib marinade rather than the standard peri peri. We’ve been having all our Nando’s chicken basted in BBQ lately – I love it. It…
Ever since being sick on new year’s eve, Jac’s been staying away from heavy meals, rich and fatty foods and red meat. We celebrated her birthday last week with lots of presents, a simple dinner at Nando’s and a nice walk afterwards. She didn’t want a cake, so I didn’t make one. :) We shared […]
On the night of Jac’s flight to Sydney, we grabbed a quick dinner at Nando’s because 1) neither of us felt like cooking and 2) Jac wanted to eat a fairly light meal – chicken and salad seemed like a good idea. She ordered the mediterranean chicken salad (AU$12.45), with the grilled chicken breast basted […]
We went shopping last Thursday night and stopped for a meal at Nando’s. Jac ordered the classic chicken wrap with chips and perinaise (mayonnaise with peri-peri seasoning) dip. She chose to have her chicken basted with mild peri-peri. There’s salad in there too (tomato and lettuce), but only the chicken’s showing in this photo. Th…
Last Saturday morning at the shops. Jac got herself a bacon pretzel from Pretzos. The doughy pretzel is baked, topped with slices of bacon and lots and lots of cheese (check out the cheesy perimeter!). When you order it, they offer to sprinkle it with powdered parmesan cheese and brush it with melted butter or […]
We ate the last of the Nandos chicken with fresh spinach, grape tomatoes and mushrooms, and Jac made a pasta salad. As you can see, there wasn’t a lot of chicken on my plate. We’d eaten almost half a chicken each, so there wasn’t much left over for the next day! I loved the pasta […]
A number of my readers have professed their love for Nando’s – this post is especially for you (and all the other chicken lovers too)! We’d talked during the week about going out for dinner on Friday night, but both decided to see how we felt on Friday afternoon. It had been a really busy […]
Tuesday – new person J and I went to Toraya. I went for my favourite combination of teriyaki chicken and cucumber sushi (AU$4.00) and cooked tuna salad (AU$6.00). J had gone for the raw tuna with avocado sushi. I was thrilled to see our sushi served on new black and white long plates, rather than […]
Monday – I ate lunch by myself at Toraya Sushi while reading a book. Look! A heart-shaped spring onion! I ordered the teriyaki chicken lunch box, large size (AU$15.00). I really felt like having the karaage donburi (AU$9.00), but once again wanted to avoid eating a big bowl of fried chicken. With the large size […]
