Tuesday evening last week Jac cooked a pork loin roast, which she served with roasted root vegetables (sweet potato, potato and carrot) and buttered steamed cabbage. It was really delicious, but some of you will be disappointed to know there was no crackling. That’s just how the roast came from the butcher. You may notice […]
11/05/2008 – a fry-up for breakfast, with fried eggs, bacon, garlic mushrooms and tinned spaghetti. That’s ground black pepper on the eggs, by the way (it kind of looks like dirt, doesn’t it? :)). I don’t mind tinned spaghetti once in a while. Not a fan of having it on toast, though. Actually, I don’t […]
On the ANZAC Day public holiday we grabbed lunch at Spencer Village food hall. It’s great that Spencer Village is open on public holidays. When pretty much everywhere else is shut, you can count on Spencer’s for a good feed. Jac ordered some fresh rice paper rolls (AU$7 for 4 pcs) from the Vietnamese stall […]
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 ̵…
My folks had been away on holiday in Malaysia since mid-January. They got home on the 15th of February. We all got together on Thursday last week after work for a Chap Goh Mei/belated family reunion dinner, to celebrate Chinese New Year. My cousin AM, her hubby C and little daughter E were at dinner […]
15/01/2008. Panfried pork chops with Lee Kum Kee oriental sauce for pork chop, served with green beans stir fried with oyster sauce, onions and garlic. The pork chops were lean but juicy and cooked by Jac to tender perfection. The oriental sauce was great – sweet and syrupy and finger-sucking good, it would’ve been fantastic […]
On the second-last day of our holiday in NSW, we met up with E at long last. She picked us up from Jon’s place and took us back to her home to meet with Leika and Cobber, her gorgeous furry babies. I wish we could get a kitten, but we really need a bigger house […]
I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned that Jac and I will be going away on holiday from the 22nd of December. We’ll be flying out to Sydney, staying a couple of days with her brother and then heading up the coast to stay with friends of ours (remember our English mates L and D who […]
In case you’re looking for it, see Monday’s work lunch here. Tuesday: I had lunch on my own at Han’s. I sat and read my current book – another Murder, She Wrote novel, Provence -To Die For (Yep, Jessica Fletcher is in France, eating croissants for breakfast and bringing murder to Europe!). I had two […]
