Tuesday night’s dinner: hoisin chicken and vegetable stir-fry. The sauce consisted of hoisin sauce, soy sauce and chilli sauce (the chilli sauce was a garlicky one leftover from our last trip to Spencer Village). The chicken was boneless skinless thighs. The vegetables were onion, garlic, cauliflower, carrot, broccoli and mushroom. Tasty tasty.

Last night’s dinner: a ...

This was a recent breakfast: a panfried ham steak, scrambled eggs and a slice of multigrain toast with strawberry spread.

28 August 2006

Maile asked me for the recipe for the creamy chicken with mushrooms that Jac made recently. Sorry it took so long, but finally I got her to recall what she did (remember, she just made it up to use the leftover cream – there was no actual recipe). So here goes. Amounts, times etc. are ...

I have to work on my chapter today. I ...

Another good day for curry

Lunch today at uni was steamed rice with chicken curry and vegetable curry. The vegetable curry had yummy pieces of fried tofu in it, which I really enjoyed. The chicken curry was tasty as usual. As you can see, I had lots of curry gravy on the rice too.

Jac ordered the trio ...

She always has her Bacon Double Cheeseburger Deluxe with ...

My Saturday

20 August 2006

Yesterday morning I went to the dentist to get those two fillings done. One of them was on one of my molars, right at the back of my mouth. The dentist had a hard time working in that tight spot and accidentally grazed the inside of my cheek with one of his tools (the dental ...
