The last time I bought a takeaway dinner from Taka (150 Barrack St, corner Wellington St, Perth), it was delicious, but not filling enough. I decided not to buy a large sized meal this time though, because the large meals come with miso soup and I didn’t want to carry a cup of hot miso […]
Jac’s had this insatiable craving for sashimi for a couple of weeks now. We met in town after work on Friday with plans to grab something nice for dinner (Jac hoped involving sashimi :)) and then just walk around the shops. Although it’s nice to get home and put your feet up after an exhausting […]
I’ve had emails from a few people recently telling me how much they love this site (thank you, that’s always a pleasure to hear!) and how they would love it even more if I could update more regularly during the week, instead of bulk posting once a week. Guys, believe me, I hear you and […]
Jac and VR returned from Mandurah on Sunday arvo. Jac got cracking in the kitchen and cooked a really delicious dinner. She cut a chicken into two, placed both halves flat on a tray and roasted them in the oven, rubbed with a variety of fresh and dried herbs, garlic, pepper, garlic chicken salt and […]
My sister-in-law A gave me a lift home after we finished clearing Mama’s flat on Tuesday, and Jac and I invited her to stay and have dinner with us. What did we have? Yep, more fish and salad. The distinguishing feature of the salad this time was sliced roasted red capsicum. I think this capsicum […]
Thank you, everyone, for your comments and emails and best wishes for Jac’s speedy recovery. I will reply to comments as soon as I can! But for now, I promised food photos, and here they are! It seems like an eternity ago, but this was my dinner of cold chicken (leftover from Jac’s birthday dinner) […]
[Chronologically, this post and Parts 2 and 3 should also come before the Monday post] On Sunday, we celebrated Jac’s niece Savannah’s 8th birthday. In the afternoon, Savannah and her school friends went on a limo party, with Jac as chaperone. We’d never heard of a limo party before this – basically, the girls got […]
This was dinner on Wednesday night. Jac made a potato bake, with lots of onions, a little bit of cheese and a teensy bit of soy milk. She served the potato bake with shark filets, flavoured with herbs, loads of garlic and butter, and baked in the oven wrapped in foil. She baked me a […]
Since last night, the house has smelled reeeeally delicious – we were both busy cooking for today’s Mothers Day lunch. After eating leftover chinese for dinner last night, Jac cooked up a pot of soup while I baked chewy chocolate brownies (details coming up). And as soon as we woke up this morning, we were […]
We went to the Midland Military Markets this afternoon, after visiting a mate who lives out that way. I had only eaten a small sausage roll for lunch (which was really lovely, but just not big enough), so I was starving and hoped to grab a bite to eat at the Markets. We needed to […]
