We had bangers and mash for dinner recently. I’ve mentioned before that when Jac cooks bangers and mash it’s always more than sausages and mashed potato. The bangers were plump pork sausages, served with fried onions and mushrooms, the last of Juji’s homegrown portabello mushrooms. We had garlic mashed potato and steamed green bea…
For dinner a couple of weeks ago, Jac cooked pork chipolatas and served them with fluffy garlic mashed potato, steamed broccolini and carrot, and tomatoes she’d panfried in the same pan as the sausages. She also made a mushroom and onion gravy. She wasn’t that happy with how the gravy turned out, because she wanted […]
I’ve had a craving for bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes) for a while now, and when I mentioned it to Jac, she made me bangers and mash for dinner. She got the sausages from a butcher – chicken and spinach (the slightly paler sausage) and beef with Guinness. Along with the mash, she […]
Dinner last Monday: lamb and garlic sausages from Woolworths, with garlic mashed potatoes, peas and baked beans with corn kernels. The sausages had an enticing springy texture and were so well-seasoned I didn’t need any sauce. With fluffy garlicky mashed potatoes and bursty corn kernels and peas, it was a most satisfying meal – pleasura…
Last Friday night’s dinner was an old favourite – bangers and mash. The sausages were low fat pork, yoghurt and mild German herb, according to the butcher, and they were really delicious. Jac served them with peas and corn kernels, fried onions, panfried mushrooms topped with seasoned fresh parsley, and of course, creamy mashed potato. …
Lamb sausages (drizzled with smokey barbeque sauce), mashed potato (with mushroom gravy on half of it), carrots and peas. I’m sooooooo tired. I’m really regretting taking on the tutoring this semester. It seemed so much easier juggling thesis and teaching last year. My current chapter won’t be finished by Thursday, which is when I…
I’ve said this before – when Jac makes bangers and mash (sausages with mashed potato), it’s always more than just bangers and mash! This time there were beef sausages, garlic mashed potatoes, fried onions, portabello mushrooms, broccolini and corn on the cob. That’s smokey barbecue sauce on one of my sausages. When I sit dow…
I said I felt like bangers and mash, so Jac cooked us sausages, garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables (broccoli and snowpeas). When the sausages are juicy and meaty and seasoned to perfection (thank you, Mr or Ms Butcher!), I don’t need any sauce. These were delicious, especially with Jac’s fluffy, garlicky mashed potatoes…
In Jac’s bento box last Thursday – on the left: leftover sausages from our bangers and mash dinner, onion and mushroom gravy, peas with carrots and sweet potato, baby roma tomatoes; on the right: “four seed ploughman” bread from Woolworths supermarket, spread with margarine, a little salad (English spinach, mushrooms, red ca…
On the 2nd of January it was, sadly, time to leave Nelson Bay. We said good-bye to D, who was staying home to study, while L drove us to Newcastle, where we would have lunch and then make our way to the train station. But just before we left, L told us that S who […]
