This was my bento lunch last Monday: panfried salt and pepper chicken thigh with salad – lettuce, grape tomatoes, mushrooms and semi-sundried tomatoes, with cubes of roasted sweet potato. For added colour and texture, I mixed some leftover vegetable spirals into the salad. This was another lunch I enjoyed cold.
For lunch last Wednesday, I packed myself a hard-boiled egg and salad (spinach leaves, cucumber, mushrooms, red capsicum, and blanched green beans), with a rolled-up slice of Jarlsberg Light cheese, sliced sweet gherkin pickles and a few semi-dried tomatoes. I also made French toast squares, and packed a little bottle of maple syrup to go [……
A recent dinner: beef chipolatas and salad (lettuce, orange capsicum, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs and corn kernels, with a blob of smokey barbecue sauce to dip the chipolatas into. I cracked black pepper over the eggs and tomatoes. These chipolatas were the longest ones I’ve had – I reckon they were too…
I recently had lunch with Cellobella at Mai’s Vietnamese restaurant (51 Bennett St, East Perth). To start, we shared a serve of vegetable spring rolls. They arrived piping hot and crisp. It was a good thing the waiter brought along side plates for us to eat them with – they were much to hot to […]
While we were out at the shops last Sunday, we bumped into my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay. We all decided to grab a bite to eat together. Juji and I each had a teriyaki chicken bento set (AU$13.90) from Nagano Sushi. It’s a really good feed with rice, chicken, prawns (one tempura and […]
For Jac: leftover barbecue chicken, salad (mixed greens, mushroom, yellow capsicum, leftover panfried potato cubes, blanched broccoli and green beans) and fruit (grapes and dried figs). In the little yellow bear head-shaped container, I put mayonnaise for Jac to eat her salad (or maybe even her chicken) with. The bear container is one of a [&hellip…
For dinner last Monday night, Jac made a garden salad, with mixed greens, yellow capsicum, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and, for an extra crunch, sliced tinned water chestnuts. She also whipped up a potato salad, with potatoes (duh!), peas, bacon, hard-boiled egg and parsley. The dressing was a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream and a little [&hel…
We went grocery shopping last Thursday night, and grabbed some takeaway food for dinner. We chucked a few laps around the food hall, deciding what to get. Nothing really appealed to Jac – she ended up getting herself a couple of fresh prawn rice paper rolls. I got myself a Chinese combination of fried rice […]
I had McDonald’s for dinner last Thursday night and bought an extra pack of Chicken McNuggets so I’d have some protein for my bento lunch the next day. Yes, I know McNuggets aren’t the healthiest food item. But I packed lots of vegetables to eat with them, so it wasn’t all bad! I packed blanched […]
On the night of Jac’s flight to Sydney, we grabbed a quick dinner at Nando’s because 1) neither of us felt like cooking and 2) Jac wanted to eat a fairly light meal – chicken and salad seemed like a good idea. She ordered the mediterranean chicken salad (AU$12.45), with the grilled chicken breast basted […]
