This is post 7 out of a series of 8 posts (the full list is at the end of this post). The dinner cruise the night before was fantastic, but we managed to have two magnificent meals the next day, our second-last day on Hamilton Island. I was keen to go out to lunch. While […]
This was barramundi, bought frozen and cooked to perfection by Jac. She panfried the fish pieces in olive oil with a little butter so they had just a hint of a crispy crust on the outside. The flesh was delicate, moist and sweet. Initially, I didn’t think I’d want to eat so much salad, but […]
After shopping for wedding outfits in Mount Lawley recently, Jac and I decided to have dinner before heading home. We went to Monte Fiore Cafe on Beaufort Street which is, incidentally, where we first met. I worked there while completing my undergraduate degree, and straight after graduation, I worked there full-time for a while. Jac […]
On a day when I ate something I’ve eaten for lunch multiple times, I decided not to photograph my food. I asked my workmates if they’d let me photograph their lunches instead. Here’s C’s lunch, a salad combination from Aroma. Not sure what the actual salads are, though. This is J’s pasta combination – lasagna [&h…
This was a bento lunch I packed for myself – a sliced panfried chicken thigh on a bed of mixed salad greens, with baby roma tomatoes, Always Fresh marinated mushrooms and oven-baked baby eggplant. Oh, and seedless green grapes for something sweet. Jac cooked the chicken and eggplant for me. All I did was assemble […]
Another recent meal – chilli and garlic prawns served on salad. Jac included thinly sliced fresh red chilli in the salad, which was a surprise as well as surprising.* The prawns were satisfyingly bursty, with a pleasurable bite from the chilli – just awesome. I want more prawn salad! :-D *A surprise because it was […]
Another simple dinner – mixed salad greens, tomato and spring onion with panfried chicken seasoned with alseason. (see this old post for a little information about alseason). No dressing on the salad, but Jac placed a dollop of aioli in the centre on the chicken, which doubled as a sauce for the chicken and a […]
Jac made this simple dinner for me on one of the nights I was busy working on [a secret at the moment – to be revealed soon :-D]. Sliced cold honey-roasted turkey breast (bought from Woolworths supermarket), hard-boiled egg, mixed salad greens, lebanese cucumber, roma tomatoes and marinated mushrooms, with freshly cracked black pepper on [&he…
Another meal from a couple of weeks ago: Jac marinated boneless skinless chicken thigh pieces in hoisin sauce and chilli sauce*, then panfried them. She served the chicken with salad – lettuce, red capsicum, grape tomatoes, carrot, green beans, broccoli and hard-boiled egg. She also included some of her brother Brad’s coleslaw, which is…
The dinner Jac panfried Nile perch fillets and served them with salad. She bought the fish fillets frozen; they turned out lovely. This is another one of the meaty, white-fleshed fish I enjoy so much. The bento I woke on Monday morning to rumbling thunder and flashing lightning. I think a loud thunder crash woke […]
