Been caught sleeping

17 August 2006

Last night’s dinner was rice with satay chicken (using Yeo’s satay sauce in a jar) and stir-fried savoy cabbage (made with Mama Sita’s Stir-fry sauce packet mix). I love the texture of savoy cabbage, the extra crinkliness of it. It really does hold sauce much better than regular cabbage. It was a most enjoyable ...

Power failure = Pizza

17 August 2006

Today typing away on my laptop, the third finger on my left hand has been quite tender due to guitar bruising. But that’s good. I’m not complaining.

On Tuesday night our power was out for an hour and a half. We could’ve cooked dinner on the gas stove but didn’t fancy doing so by candlelight (eating ...

Mum's 60th birthday dinner – the sweet

16 August 2006

Mum’s birthday cake was homemade by the wife of one her work colleagues. It was covered with thick, smooth, rich butter cream icing.* Oh my god, it was gooooooood.

It was so good I actually ate a whole piece. Usually I just have a bite out of Jac’s (part of the secret to not becoming ...

Mum's 60th birthday dinner – the savoury

16 August 2006

Last year, we celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday at a dinner with family and friends at the Swan Lake Chinese Restaurant in Churchlands (savoury post here, sweet post here). On Saturday evening, we returned to celebrate Mum’s 60th (her birthday is actually tomorrow!). The people on my table patiently put up with my photographing ...

The thesis hermit

15 August 2006

On Sunday Jac cooked us a yummy breakfast of fried eggs, bacon and mushrooms fried in butter.

After breakfast she got ready to go out – she was off to Mandurah for a wedding party (long story short: a mate went to Japan 4 years ago to work and married a Japanese woman over there. This ...

Dinner and music dvds

15 August 2006

This was one of my dinners last week: creamy chicken with mushrooms and green beans, served with roasted corn on the cob and roasted whole potatoes. Jac cooked it all – she made the chicken dish up to use the leftover cream we had in the fridge – it was delicious. I had a ...

Chinese home delivery

15 August 2006

We had chinese home delivery this last week. We rang our usual place but no one answered the phone, so we had to go with our never second choice, which doesn’t do ma po tofu and charges $4 for delivery (our usual place doesn’t charge for delivery). Jac felt like soup and ordered a short ...

Another HJs breakfast

15 August 2006

I wrote a few posts on Saturday but didn’t feel like actually posting them. I’ve had a lot on my mind, still have a lot on my mind – I’m not sure if I will write about it here or not. Anyway, here’s the food.
On Thursday morning I got an earlier train so I could ...

How I lost my calluses

10 August 2006

I know some of you skip the words and just look at the food. Well, here’s the food. I’ve got more food photos to post, but I’ll do that tomorrow. This is all I have for you, food-wise, tonight. Those of you who actually read what’s written here, keep reading, hopefully I won’t bore you ...

Saturday breakfast

5 August 2006

We had breakfast this morning at a place called Coffee Cube, at Carousel Shopping Centre. It’s one of those little cafes in the shopping centre that’s not in an actual shop building (I’m sure there’s a proper, more elegant way to describe this sort of “open” cafe, but right now I’m too tired to think ...
