My bento lunch: beef chipolatas left over from dinner the night before, potato salad, cherry tomatoes and green seedless grapes. The potato salad was my usual quick and easy combination of a microwaved potato cut into cubes, seasoned with a little salt and pepper, then combined with Kewpie mayonnaise, thinly sliced cucumber, carrot and spring [&hel…
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…
Dinner last Friday night: boerwurst sausages, a microwaved potato with butter and black pepper, mushrooms and salad. Jac cooked the sausages and mushrooms under the grill. The cherry tomatoes in the salad are more of our homegrown ones.
Last Thursday, Jac didn’t need lunch, but I did – so I packed myself a similar lunch to the one I made for her on Wednesday, when I didn’t need lunch. More sliced chicken sausage, mixed salad greens, homegrown cherry tomatoes, snow peas and green beans, a chunk of buttered French-style loaf, mini Babybel tasty […]
The note I drew/wrote for Jac’s bento last Wednesday said it all… I didn’t need lunch, as we were going out to lunch to farewell our workmate L, who is moving on to a new job. For Jac, I packed sliced chicken sausage, salad (mixed greens, our homegrown cherry tomatoes, blanched snow peas and green […]

I’ve had a craving for bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes) for a while now, and when I mentioned it to Jac, she made me bangers and mash for dinner. She got the sausages from a butcher – chicken and spinach (the slightly paler sausage) and beef with Guinness. Along with the mash, she […]
Jac didn’t need to take lunch to work last Thursday – her boss had said he’d shout lunch* for the team (lucky her!). But she cooked me up a batch of beef chipolatas so I’d have protein for my bento box. For me, that’s the tricky part – working out what protein to have for […]
Last Wednesday evening, Jac made a sausage, bean and bacon casserole. She fried up onion and bacon pieces and added sliced cooked pork chipolatas we’d saved in the freezer, along with a tin of baked beans, black pepper, Worchestershire sauce and a little maple syrup. (There may have been other ingredients – this isn’t a […]
Last Saturday, we celebrated my niece Ruby’s first birthday. Ruby’s proud parents, my brother Mark and sister-in-law Ange, really put on a feast for all the friends and family who attended! The first things I ate upon arrival were a couple of these delicious mini frittatas, made by Ange. Jac happily helped herself to cheese, […]
