When I got home from work Jac gave me a cold drink and told me to take off my shoes, get into my home clothes and relax – she would be serving the starter very shortly. I sniffed the air and I thought I could smell mustard. As it turned out, it was mustard! She’d […]
A Sunday breakfast of a few weeks ago: I scrambled the eggs, Jac toasted the bread. I like it when Jac cooks but I love it even more when we cook together. And what’s great is our new kitchen is bigger and has a better layout than the old one, so it’s easier for us […]
It was short working week last week, thanks to the Australia Day Long Weekend. Tuesday – I had lunch on my own at Toraya Sushi. I tried the teriyaki salmon sushi (AU$4.00, 4 pcs) for the first time. The fish had coating of batter, which was soggy from teriyaki sauce and being wrapped in sushi […]

Belated text to go with the pictures: This was a very basic cheese and mustard on toast. The cheese was Farmers Union Old Bitey (just the name makes me want to eat it! It is yuuuuuummy cheese!) and we used Australian mustard to add a little more bitey-ness. But just the cheese on its own […]
