The next day, I went to uni and met up with my (now ex-)PhD supervisor for a catch-up over lunch. It was great just chatting and eating and not worrying about deadlines or feedback on thesis chapters!* She ordered the roasted vegetables with chorizo and salad. The roasted vegetables looked good, and nicely seasoned with […]
I had lunch with my sister CW at the new Cafe Ambrosia, the replacement for Kirribilli Cafe (where we’d had coq au vin for lunch recently) at Curtin University campus. CW ordered the linguine with roasted pumpkin, spinach and fetta. The pasta that arrived looked more like tagliatelli than linguine to me. CW found the […]
I had the day off last Friday, which I spent at uni. I still have some work to do on the PhD thesis. I’m not going to elaborate, so please don’t ask about it. I’m only mentioning where I was to put the food into some sort of context. I started my day with a […]
Soon, I won’t need to go to uni any more. Tomorrow is Thesis Submission Day. At some stage after that Jac and I will return for Clearing Out My Desk and Bringing My Crap Home Day. It will feel very final when I hand back my key to the office – but I’ll get my […]
It’s been a long time since I ate Hainan chicken rice at uni. That’s the annoying thing about the long summer holidays – all the food places at uni shut down. Hey, I’m not saying the staff shouldn’t have holidays! I just miss being able to eat char kway teow or chicken rice for the […]
I ate this lunch at my desk at uni on Tuesday. I really cannot get enough of this chicken curry! The vegies were good too.
At uni on Tuesday this week I had a craving for hainan chicken rice, which I haven’t eaten for a few weeks. Unfortunately when they served it up they told me they were all out of the gingery, garlicky chilli sauce they usually serve with the rice. Damn! The chicken rice and the soup were […]
This was lunch on Monday at uni: curry chicken, honey chicken and rice. Not much else to tell you, really, other than it was goooood.
It was an unusual day at the office yesterday, because most of the people I share the office with (also PhD students) were actually in for a change. It was nice, but very distracting because of the constant chatter. It’s an open plan office and not a very big space, so it’s hard to not […]
I’m back again, after one and a half episodes of Magnum P.I. while aerofitting. Jac is at her hockey club’s season windup, hopefully having a good time. It’s just me now, in my tracksuit sitting in front of the pc, with Magnum on the telly and Billy Lee purring at my feet. Pixel, who doesn’t […]
