I’ll start with the food, then ask you guys a question, and then give you my news. The foodThis was seafood ravioli Jac bought from South Perth Seafoods. I’m not sure what “seafood” in the ravioli was, exactly. Jac served the pasta tossed in olive oil in which she’d fried very finely chopped onion and […]
Jac made a delicious pasta sauce with tomato paste, lamb mince, mushrooms and spinach. She served it with pasta spirals. It was meaty and rich and lip-smackingly good. I loved the flavour of the lamb, and Jac left some of the mince quite chunky on purpose (yum!), but my favourite part of this sauce was […]
I’m now up to the posts written since Jac returned from her trip. This was the first dinner she cooked the day after she got home. She cooked vegetable spiral pasta with tomatoes, beans and peas, and served it with fish pieces seasoned in flour, salt and pepper and a little “Kentucky” seasoning (see this […]
I had a presentation to give on a recent Friday, which ran over lunch time (definitely not scheduled by me!), so my workmate J kindly grabbed me some lunch while she was out getting hers. It was waiting for me in the fridge when I got back to the office – a cooked tuna and […]
The dinner I cooked this dinner: a stir-fry of macaroni, chicken thigh strips, sugar snap peas, baby corn, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and garlic with oyster sauce and soy sauce. I’d marinated the chicken (three boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into strips), with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, a teaspoon of sugar, white pepper, a [&helli…
For a recent dinner, Jac cooked barramundi fillets in the oven. She seasoned the fish with salt and pepper, wrapped the fillets in foil with a little butter and topped them with lemon wedges. She’d been craving a creamy vegetable dish, and made a cauliflower, broccoli and peas mornay. She stirred the vegetables through a […]
Note: For those of you who asked – I’ve updated the prawn leftovers post with the recipe for the seafood cocktail sauce. Enjoy! On the Sunday night following Christmas, I made a stir-fry dish for bento: macaroni, snow peas, cherry tomatoes, champignons, onions and cubes of Christmas turkey thigh roast, flavoured with garlic and oyster […
Having been away for two and bit weeks, Jac couldn’t wait to get back into the kitchen and start cooking. This is what she made for dinner on the day after her return – pasta spirals with bolognese-style sauce. I prefer spaghetti, but we were all out – spirals were the only pasta we had. […]
I made myself a very simple dinner last Saturday night – San Remo chicken and mushroom-filled fresh ravioli with a stir-through fresh tomato and garlic sauce. I simply boiled the pasta and added the sauce, which came in a conveniently microwavable container. I really love this ravioli. I can eat it just on its own, […]
J and I grabbed a takeaway lunch from Jaws Mint (Hay Street, opposite the Perth Mint in East Perth) last Thursday. We each got a small teriyaki chicken (AU$5.00). I got a 4-pack of tuna and mayonnaise sushi. Jaws’ version of tuna and mayo consists mostly of cooked tuna and onion, with just a little […]
