Last Sunday I caught the train to Thornlie and to have lunch at my favourite food hall, Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) .

Thursday bento – fried rice and salad

20 November 2008

Thursday’s bento lunch consisted of fried rice and salad (cos lettuce, rocket, spinach, cherry and golden tomatoes, and baby carrot sticks).

20 November 2008

For dinner last Wednesday night I made fried rice with SPAM, green beans, corn kernels, onion, garlic, egg and oyster sauce – that’s probably my favourite combination of fried rice ingredients. I cooked enough for a decent feed and for bento the next day.

Baking muffins on a Monday night

18 November 2008

I really felt like baking mini banana muffins on Monday night, so that’s exactly what I did. The recipe I use is Banana Muffins II from Allrecipes. I couldn’t find my old printout of the recipe, so I googled it to get another copy. I’d just weighed out the flour for sifting ...

Monday bento – chicken dish, stir-fried lettuce, rice, tomatoes and fruit

18 November 2008

For my bento lunch last Monday I packed myself leftover rice and my latest chicken dish with no name from my dinner the night before. I also quickly stir-fried myself some cos lettuce with garlic and soy sauce. I’ve always love stir-fried lettuce – Jac’s not keen on it as the lettuce does ...
