Sunday roast pork lunch
Mothers Day lunch with Jac's family.
Jac and I hosted my family’s Christmas lunch this year. We got up bright and early to get ready for the day. 11-year-old Pixel watched suspiciously as I set the table (she’s not a fan of parties) while 1-year-old Truffle inspected everything with great fascination. Both cats fled and hid when everyone began to arrive. […]
Jac went to a barbecue recently on her own. Her contribution to the meal was dessert, and she made a trifle. Since I wouldn’t be there to eat it, she made me a single serve trifle to have for my dessert at home. As you can see, Jac likes to pile on the custard! It […]
25/05/2008 – savoury chops (a family recipe, made with lamb chops), with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables (broccoli and green beans). The carrots were cooked in the casserole dish with the chops, and they were sweet and delicious. For dessert, Jac made what she called cheat’s trifle. We didn’t have any swiss rol…

These next few posts about Christmas at Dunsborough will feature selected shots from that set. We left for Dunsborough early on Christmas morning, […]
Ta-dah! Yes, I made trifle for our dessert! No, those are not my hands. :) Our lunch guests love sweeties, and we knew we just had to serve dessert. I thought a cold dessert would go well after a heavy hot roast lunch. Jac supervised my trifle-making in her role as “chief cook of the […]
Juji’s special request was for Mum’s baked cheese cake (I’ve posted the recipe before, see this post). Two birthdays, two cheese cakes. Tummies: *grrrrroan* Juji did a great job decorating them, didn’t she? Juji took this close-up of the strawberries and gold kiwi fruit on the top of one of the cheese cakes. I don’t [&…
