Another Friday night dinner

24 February 2006

Last post of the night: dinner tonight was a simple chicken casserole that Jac made using a can of chicken and vegetable soup as well as fresh vegetables (onions, carrots, green beans, spinach), chicken thigh meat and seeded mustard. She served it with garlic mashed potato.

My early mornings have caught up with me. It’s ...

So much pizza!

24 February 2006

Jac’s friends came over for another party meeting recently. The plan was to have drinks, talk about the party-related stuff, order pizza home delivery, jump into the spa while waiting for the pizza to arrive, then get out of the spa to eat pizza. We ordered four pizzas and a couple of garlic breads between ...

Uni Lunches

24 February 2006

Now that semester has begun (this week was Week 1) all the food outlets on campus are back to their full menus, so on the days I haven’t brought food from home there’s lots to choose from.

On Wednesday I had rice, curried vegetables, Malay chicken and panfried fish. I had lunch around 1pm; my first ...

Cold meats and salad

24 February 2006

This meal was yummy: cold barbecued chicken (my favourite parts, the thigh and drumstick*), cold sliced pork sausage, homemade potato salad, sliced swiss brown mushrooms, grape tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce. To the left is a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

*Whenever I have a quarter chicken from Chicken Treat or Charcoal Chicken or Red Rooster ...

Sausages, eggs and toast

24 February 2006

I’m not sure when we had this breakfast, but here’s the photo anyway. We ran out of sliced bread, but found some hamburger buns in the fridge and toasted them. The sausages are British pork ones. Jac fried my eggs just how I like them, with soft yolks. She ate her egg (she has one, ...

Dinner at Myra and Rick's

24 February 2006

On Tuesday night we had dinner at Myra and Rick’s. They are a lovely South African couple that we’ve known for around six and a half years; Jac’s house-sat for them and looked after their menagerie of two brindle staffies (staffordshire terriers), two cats and two tanks of fish. They are more than just “the ...

Weekend

18 February 2006

This was Jac’s double chocolate donut from Donut King, purchased and consumed this morning.

I asked Jac if I could take a photo of the donut after her first bite (for submission to this group at Flickr). She took a big bite right away, I took the photo and an old couple at the table next ...

Chicken laksa

16 February 2006

Today I had chicken laksa for lunch. Laksa’s not one of my favourite dishes like chicken rice or char kway teow, but I thought you guys would like a photo of something new :). When I tasted that curry soup, I was so glad I’d ordered it – it was BLOODY DELICIOUS! It was spicy, ...

Old favourites

16 February 2006

Dinner last night consisted of rice plus a couple of old favourites: fried cabbage and egg (flavoured with oyster sauce – Jac’s variation last night included peas too – she is never truly satisfied unless she’s feeding me lots of green vegetables!) and minchee (I’ve posted pics of this dish before – potato and pork ...
