Very simple – stir-fried chicken and vegies, flavoured with Asia At Home brand szechuan stir-fry sauce, served on rice. Also very simple – a selection of fruits for sweets. In the photo between the banana and dried apricots (which are next to the apple slices) you’ll see a little dark pile of prunes… lovely moist, […]
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 […]
Two dinners from this week – first, a chicken and vegie stirfry served on rice. The chicken was marinated in chilli sauce and hoisin sauce and whatever else Jac thought to chuck into the marinade – it was delicious! Second – creamy chicken burritos. The recipe for the creamy chicken came off the back of […]
Don’t ask me why I am sitting here writing this anything at 5am on a Saturday morning. *sigh* Simpsons fans may recognise the title of this post. Don’t worry – there’s no sleep, but there’s definitely no clown here. P.S. I conked out at around 11am and slept until 2:30pm. No trip to the shops […]
This was dinner on the 1st of April, which seems so very long ago! Jac marinated fresh tuna steaks in teriyaki sauce and ginger, and then panfried them. We’re not into the pink in the middle, seared on the outside/rare in the middle tuna that is so trendy these days – we prefer our fish […]
Here’s a stir-fry Jac made during the week. The chicken was marinated in chilli sauce homemade by my late grandma. Chuck in noodles, a few vegies (bok choy, carrot, capsicum, green beans) and add lots of sauce and stock, and what do you have? A very saucey and delicious stir-fry!
While I was at the shops the other day picking up stuff for making a stir-fry for dinner, I had a quick lunch at McDonald’s. Yes, I’m hopelessly addicted to the Filet-O-Fish. The stir-fry I made that evening had chicken and an assortment of vegies in it – spring onion, garlic, snow peas, mushrooms, green […]
As I do sometimes, I woke up around 7am craving rice and something garlicky. I raided the fridge and found a single leftover salt and pepper chicken thigh from the other night. I popped it on a plate for reheating in the microwave with some leftover rice. I found some washed lettuce that Jac had […]
I’m not going into details at present, but it’s been a challenging week juggling thesis, job applications, Jac’s gall bladder* and my grandma back in hospital. Next week will be even more challenging, but I can’t go into details right now. Last Thursday night, we had another grilled fish and salad meal. Here’s the big …
