I cooked this quick dinner for Jac and myself last Tuesday night: a stir-fry featuring SPAM, onion, mushrooms, green beans, cherry tomatoes and macaroni. I fried the SPAM cubes with chopped onion in the wok first, then added the mushrooms and green beans when the SPAM and onion were nicely browned, the SPAM with slightly […]
Last Tuesday night Jac made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. She made the meatballs from scratch but used a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce (not enough time after work to make meatballs AND sauce – hey, I’m not complaining!). I am just amazed and grateful that anyone would come home after working all day and […]
On Tuesday night, Jac grabbed us dinner takeaway from Roman Palace Italian Restaurant. We’re such creatures of habit; we’ve had this exact combination of dishes before. Garlic bread, to start: Three cheese lasagna for Jac, extremely cheesy, saucy and meaty. An Italian salad to share: And for me, my favourite from Roman Palace: chicken p…
Jac told me not to worry about making up a bento box for her last Monday; she just took a serve of macaroni cheese to work for her lunch. So in my bento box I packed: leftover macaroni cheese, crispy fried turkey SPAM cubes with fresh cherry tomatoes, honey and mustard carrots, blanched snow peas […]
Last Saturday, at the shopsJac’s chicken caesar wrap from Pure + Natural. I suppose it’s a deconstructed sort of caesar filling in the wrap – lettuce, bacon and some sort of caesar-style sauce (but of course there shouldn’t be tomato in a caesar – and I guess if I was being nitpicky I’d say the […]
I took a break from Bento last Friday. J rang Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth) at 11am and asked if they had their nasi lemak special on. The answer was “yes”, so we went to Munch shortly after that, ready to devour nasi lemak. Clockwise, from the top […]
We grabbed dinner in Victoria Park before going to Chad’s birthday party last Saturday night. We wandered up and down Albany Highway looking for somewhere to eat. Stupidly on our part, we hadn’t made a reservation anywhere, and as it turned out, most of the cafes/restaurants were fully booked. Whoops. In the end, we managed […]
This post features the Lunch on the Go lunch box by Fit & Fresh. You can buy the Lunch on the Go lunch box from my Amazon store. Jac didn’t need a packed lunch last Friday, so I only had to worry about myself. My lunch was vegie pasta stir-fry, beef sausage and strawberries. I’d […]
The weather continued to be shocking towards the end of last week (and it’s been terrible this week too!), so I decided to bring lunch on Thursday to avoid having to go out in the rain to get food. In my lunch box: garden salad, soy and garlic snow peas and cubes of juicy seedless […]
I packed this lunch for Jac for last Monday: tuna pasta salad she’d made on Sunday afternoon, korma turkey meatballs, a couple of fresh mushrooms and grape tomatoes. To separate the pasta salad from the meatballs I used a strategically placed washed celery stalk, which Jac could eat with dip if she wished. She has […]
