Rewind the clock back to last week again… Last Monday’s dinner – a breakfasty meal of beefy sausages, fried eggs and baked beans. Tuesday, a turkey steak, salad and a buttered slice of wholemeal bread. Wednesday, Jac rang me at work and said she felt like Chinese food. Although I didn’t think she’d really eat [……
Monday night: Jac made a casserole using chicken sausages, turkey bacon, onions, a tin of Heinz Big Red tomato soup and a tin of Heinz Baked Beans. She served it with fluffy mashed potato, peas and corn kernels and baked polenta topped with smokey BBQ sauce. The polenta looked good but we both agreed it […]
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 […]
For breakfast last Sunday Jac fried up three eggs, two for me and one for her… …and grilled some plump beef sausages and sweet cherry tomatoes. I toasted and buttered the bread (not pictured) and zapped the baked beans in the microwave. That dark brown blob under the sausages and to the left of the […]
As my birthday was on a Tuesday this year I told Jac I’d prefer to go out to dinner on another night, a Friday or on the weekend, so we could just relax and take our time and not worry about not having too late a night (especially me, as I get up at 4:30am […]
Jac and her mum were originally supposed to go on a road trip together over the Easter long weekend to see her brother B, his partner K and their kids in Kalgoorlie, but there were a few unforeseen technical complications which made this impossible (long story, I won’t elaborate further). And after many alternative Plans […]
Yesterday, Jac, my sister Juji and I went along to the 2007 National Sausage King Competition at the Northbridge Piazza, on the corner of James and Lake Streets in Northbridge. This all-day event was part of City Food and Wine Month. The programme promised “live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, tastings and free family fun”, but s…
This post features a few miscellaneous photos. First, a tin of Plumrose sausages – it was supposed to contain 8 sausages but had only 7. I was planning to write Plumrose a letter, but I forgot to keep the can aside and it ended up in the garbage. Oh well. The 7 sausages were as […]
Yesterday evening after work Jac cleaned the barbie (it hadn’t been used for quite some time) and then cooked up a delicious dinner on it. We had grilled eggplant, red capsicum and tomatoes with beef sausages for VR and me, and vegetarian sausages for Jac (which tasted surprisingly like meat sausages – I did prefer […]
These are actually old photos, from Jac’s birthday celebration at the Duckstein Microbrewery in the Swan Valley, way back in 2002. Some of you will have seen them before on a previous incarnation of my site, but I thought I’d post them in honour of Haz and Todd, who have been waxing lyrical about sausages […]
