Cheesy Roll
Yes, I melted some grated Tasty cheese onto these white bread rolls from Bakers Delight. The bread was sooo light and crumbly after being toasted.
Mum's Stirfry Noodles
To be honest, I would have preferred it to just be vegetarian. But Mum dug in the freezer and defrosted some chicken that I had already diced up, and some of my clams (without the shells).
You can see I added a generous helping of the pickled chillies that Ling and Shallen gave me. Yum!!
Mum's Cabbage, Carrot & Potato Soup
I added some sambal belachan chilli - perfect spicy comfort food.

Shallen's been keen on having a Korean style BBQ for as long as I can remember now, but it's neither been the weather for it and it wouldn't have been very comfortable sitting around on the floor of their patio cooking it. So, today's lunch was a surprise introduction of their new outdoor furniture setting and it was beautiful - absolutely perfect - weather for it.
I prepared my marinated meat yesterday before work.
Beef Bulgogi
Ingredients:
Method:- Slice beef thinly.
- Combine with the rest of the ingredients and mix.
- Leave for a few hours in fridge to marinate, or overnight if possible.
This morning I woke up and prepared the squid that I had defrosted overnight.
Squid Bulgogi
Ingredients:
Method:
- Prepare squid by scoring the insides of the tubes, cutting them into small pieces of roughly the same size.
- Combine with the rest of the ingredients and marinate for a few hours, or overnight if possible.
Now, I know the squid technically isn't 'bulgogi', but I'm calling it that for lack of a better word and I'm too lazy to google.

Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Penne
As you can see, I didn't use very much cream for this so when I reheated it at work, the pasta absorbed most of the sauce and it wasn't gluggy or too heavy.
When I'm on the night shift, I tend to crave sweet sugary things nows. I think it's my body's way of screaming out for more energy to keep up with running around the lab on my own to get everything done.
That's the huge mug I bought from Todai when I was in Las Vegas in 2006. It's like the BEST seafood buffet!! *drool*

Chips & Gravy
Mum and I shared a large plate after grocery shopping at Centro Maddington. Still can't get used to calling it that...it was Metro Maddington to me for so many years.
Ham & Tomato Roll
I bought these bread rolls from Bakers Delight and they are just divine!! The bread is soooo soft when you rip it open. I buttered it and sliced up a roma tomato and placed them between layers of ham. Yum!
Instant Ramen with Wantans & Chilli
Wednesday 14th October '09
Ingredients:
Method:
- In a cold pan, put the onion and bacon. Turn on the heat and cook for a few minutes until onion begins to soften.
- Add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook for a few minutes, adding a splash of water if necessary.
- Add the diced tomatoes and passata (and water if necessary) and cook for a few minutes.
- Add al dente penne pasta, toss through to coat in the sauce and serve.
After work, I wearily and hungrily looked for leftovers in the fridge. I found some and heated it up - a huge bowl of one of my favourites!
Mum's Shark Fin Soup
I've been getting stuck back into reading lately and currently I'm working my way through an old classic - The Chronicles of Narnia. I've read 'The Lion, the Which & the Wardrobe' but not the other stories that C.S. Lewis wrote. The language takes me back to my childhood when I used to read like crazy. Beds of heather. Naughty children. Woodlands.
