Had a family lunch today, which Mum called “East meets West”. Beef curry… Sweet and sour pork… My brother’s mum-in-law brought a yummy vegetable bake. Made with broccoli and cauliflower, it was like a cross between cauliflower cheese and a quiche – it was made with eggs, soup mix and cheese on top. Peri-peri chic…
On Saturday morning as soon as we woke up, Jac told me she had a hankering for eggs benedict at Miss Maud. And so that’s where we went for breakfast: Miss Maud Pastry House (as opposed to Miss Maud Swedish Smorgasbord Restaurant, which is located in the city) at Carousel Shopping Centre. We started with […]
As I stood in line waiting to order at McDonald’s on Tuesday night, I realised that it’s been many years since I ate a McDonald’s Apple Pie – and so I ordered one. I like the current packaging, very Aussie green and gold. I know people who absolutely hate these apple pies because they are […]
We were out and about this morning and on impulse decided to stop for an early lunch at Silks Bar and Bistro, at the Belmont Tavern. We would probably have been just as happy to eat at a food hall in a shopping centre somewhere but this was nice for a change. :) With a […]
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 […]
On Thursday evening I arrived home to the delicious aroma of savoury mince cooking on the stove – a meaty, Worchestershire saucey sort of smell. Mmmmm. Jac was making cottage pie – the savoury mince was just made from lamb mince, carrots, cabbage, onions and spinach and a variety of sauces and herbs (sorry, I […]
Our last day in Dunsborough. Of course, breakfast had to be pies from a local bakery. We went to the Dunsborough Bakery, which we’d driven past on our way through town when we arrived on Christmas Day. The bakery sells a large range of baked goodies. We bought two chicken and mushroom pies and […]
A roadside sign we passed on our drive up from Perth to Geraldton had claimed that the best pies were to be found at the Dongara Bakery on Waldeck Street, and now that we were in the vicinity we were keen to test that claim. We headed straight to the bakery to get breakfast on […]
Our plan for Sunday was: 1) check out the Markets on the Mall, at Marine Terrace. 2) Grab some breakfast. 3) Drive to the Chapman Valley Fishing Park. So first, the Markets on the Mall. I overheard one of the stallholders saying that he thought the markets were a little quieter than usual – his […]
Note: fsck! I just typed a long post about Day 5 and then had an unco keyboard moment and lost the lot. I am now re-typing the post. Fsck, fsck, fsck. On Friday, we decided to just hang out and relax. The cricket was on TV (I loooooooooove cricket), and we had books to read […]
