Still unpacking and settling in, I ate a Lean Cuisine for dinner one night during our first week in our new house. This is the box – Lean Cuisine Meatball Arrabiata,. Looks pretty good, don’t you think? Here’s the real thing, fresh out of the microwave. It looked good to me, but certainly different from […]
Just catching up on the photos from the time I was sick recently. I was definitely too sick to go into work, but not too sick to take photos of my meals. :) Here’s the first – a comforting meal at the best of times, very good for when I’m unwell – boiled eggs with […]
Every time I eat a delicious deep-fried dinner of fish and chips, calamari, prawns and scallops, I wish deep-fried food wasn’t so bad for me. That’s all.
A lightly toasted sesame seed knobby bun, filled with bacon, egg with a soft, gooey yolk, and tomato sauce. Just look at the egg soaking into the bread, and the four layers of bacon! A perfect mouthful. I love buns that have a knob on top. I believe the proper name for these buns (well, […]
Thank you all, so much, for your birthday wishes. Your comments and messages trickling in all day made me feel really special! I had a lovely last day/birthday at work – with morning tea featuring sweet and savoury goodies and birthday/farewell gifts and cards for me from my workmates and friends. There will definitely be […]

We recently bought a Breville Snack Creations toasted sandwich snack maker. It’s great – it makes four sandwiches using eight slices of bread in one go, enough for a meal for Jac and me. I love these sandwiches as they are a tasty, hot, savoury meal and so easy and quick to prepare. Here are […]
Dinner last Monday night: red curry with chicken and lots of vegetables (potato, sweet potato, broccoli, onion and green beans). Jac used red curry paste from a jar – Valcom brand, I believe. I think I prefer Thai green curry to red, but this was very tasty. My favourite curry dishes (in no particular order): […]
Why I hate Secret Santa I really hate doing Secret Santa (some people know it as Kris Kringle), but it’s something my team at work does every year. There’s usually a $ limit – this year it was $10 – and you buy a gift for the person whose name you pick out of a […]
Thank you to everyone who’s left a comment at my Utterly ridiculous post. On a related note, Katie wrote about receiving her first nasty comment at her blog A Byootaful Life. She reflects on the different ways bloggers respond to nasty comments. I like to analyse and rip the comment to shreds, and if ridicule […]
