Room service - three scoops of vanilla bean ice cream on a tuille basket with flaked almonds

The best bowl of ice cream ever: creamy vanilla bean ice cream via Hyatt Hotel Canberra room service at 6:40am, urgently needed to cool and soothe my painful hot sore throat.

Noodle soup with pork and wantans

Jac went to the shops and brought me home some takeaway chicken noodle soup – or so she thought. She ordered “chicken noodle soup” and expected chicken noodle soup, but as soon as I looked at the meat I knew it wasn’t chicken. A bite later confirmed what I suspected – pork!

Food when I was sick – boiled eggs with soldiers

Boiled eggs with soldiers

The last time I posted a photo of boiled eggs with soldiers a number of people asked me why “soldiers”? I’m not sure, to be honest. Could it be from the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty? “All the King’s horses and all the King’s men (soldiers, perhaps?)… couldn’t put Humpty together again (Humpty being the boiled egg?)” Hmm. Any ideas, anyone? Look at the egg in the photo – it’s kind of Humpty Dumpty-ish, isn’t it?

A sort of breakfast bento

I packed this breakfast for myself one morning recently- it was a kind of breakfast bento, I guess – I took it to work and ate it at my desk as I read my emails and started my work day.

Bento - steak, potato salad, salad and bread

A steak and salad bento! Jac panfried a steak medium-rare for her and a steak medium-well for me. I made my easy potato salad, and threw together a simple salad of mixed greens, grape tomatoes and red seedless grapes. I packed us each a container of smokey barbecue sauce to eat with our steak.

Just looking at my KFC

KFC Original Recipe, coleslaw, chips and potato and gravy

What does a person do when she’s struggling to fight off a cold and resisting the need to go to bed early? She looks at photos of junk food – greasy, salty, deep-fried junk food.

Bento - SPAM stars with fried rice

With more SPAM to use up, I made SPAM stars and fried rice. The fried rice was very simple as usual – leftover rice, green beans, garlic and egg, flavoured with soy sauce. I made the stars using a cookie cutter.
