I cooked up a batch of fried rice for bento last Wednesday evening after I had my dinner. Our bento lunches consisted of: Fried rice (with turkey SPAM cubes, green beans, baby corn, onion, garlic and egg, flavoured with Tamari and white pepper, just like the soba noodles we had the previous week) Oven-baked butternut […]
Last Monday night we had sirloin steaks, cooked in a hot pan until a perfectly tender medium, served with mushroom sauce, oven-roasted golden crispy potatoes and butternut pumpkin, with juicy sweet corn on the cob, steamed snow peas and broccoli. Jac made the mushroom sauce with sliced fresh mushrooms (sliced by her loyal assistant :)), […]
For dinner on Tuesday night we had steak and noodles. Jac had bought some Y-bone steaks, which she marinated in teriyaki sauce and garlic for a couple of days. She panfried them to medium, and they were beautifully tender. The meat had really absorbed the flavours of the marinade – no additional sauce was necessary. […]
Jac took me out recently for a pub dinner at the Carlisle Hotel (174 Rutland Avenue, Carlisle). We began with a serve of garlic bread (AU$5.00). It was typical cafe-style garlic bread – pressed flat and toasted till golden and crisp on the outside, more buttery than garlicky in flavour, yet satisfyingly savoury. There was […]
Quite a few people emailed and left comments asking about Jac’s creamy mushroom sauce which we had with T-bone steaks recently. There wasn’t a recipe as such – Jac made it up on the night using whatever was in the fridge and pantry. But I asked if she’d jot it all down for you guys, […]
From last week, Monday – imported frozen basa fillets, seasoned and panfried, served with steamed cabbage and broccoli, corn on the cob, orange mash (cooked carrot and sweet potato seasoned and then mashed with butter) and Ainsley Harriot “Moroccan Medley” instant cous cous. Jac didn’t like the cous cous at all. I didn’…
I hope these photos will meet with your expectations after my sizzling steak video teaser! :) We celebrated Jac’s brother B’s birthday with a barbecue dinner on Sunday. Our contribution to the meal was a batch of Chinese meatballs. Well – Jac did all the work, really. All I did was read her the list […]
I’ve run out of time tonight, but here’s a very short sneak preview of the food to come!
Back in early December when we talked about what we wanted to do on our holiday, Jac suggested we spend a weekend in Newcastle, since I’ve never been there. Although we were both really looking forward to spending time with the girls at Nelson Bay, the idea of going off on our own for a […]
Wednesday this week turned out to be a big day of eating. For lunch, Chad and I went to Toraya. She had the dish that’s become her favourite there, the medium agedashi tofu lunch box. I had my favourite, the karaage donburi, topped with chilli mayonaise. Both our meals included miso soup (not pictured). Back […]
