Love squid tender

27 August 2007

Today’s lunch: squid pepper rice (AU$8.95) at Han’s. Fantastic! The squid pieces were ever so lightly battered, nicely seasoned and unbelievably tender, with little bits of garlic, sliced onion, fresh chilli and hmmm, a fleeting hint of lime somewhere in there (lovely!) – thumbs up!

For our breaky this morning, Jac decided ...

First photos

Here’s a shot I took in my study, in relatively low light. By slowing the shutter speed down to 1 on the settings (default was 1/8) I was able to take this without ...

Jac had a craving for lasagna and ordered Miss Maud’s version (AU$13.25), which came with a side salad – she chose the garden salad.

Jac also ordered another side salad – the beetroot salad. Jac absolutely loves ...

Two Han's in a single day

26 August 2007

On Tuesday night a few of us from work went to Leederville for dinner and a movie. We saw Michael Moore’s latest, Sicko. I must admit I’ve never been a fan of Michael Moore, and I’m still not. That’s all I’m going to say about that. :) I enjoyed going out on ...

In the mood for pastry

26 August 2007

These photos are from last Saturday. I meant to post them during the week but never got the chance.

After doing some grocery shopping, we picked up something for lunch from the bakery at Bentley shopping centre. Jac chose a cheese sausage in pastry (you know, I reckon it looks pretty gross in ...

Dinners at home

Argh, running behind with posts yet again.

Dinner, Tuesday last week – Jac pounded skinless boneless chicken thigh pieces flat, seasoned and then layered them with spinach, garlic and mushrooms. She oven baked them wrapped in foil with a little butter. These chicken thingies were served with baked potatoes (baked in the oven with ...
