I had a craving for the Vietnamese Pork Rolls (banh mi thit) so I bought some char siew and salads into work to make these rolls for lunch. I think I need to try to get into Northbridge on the weekend and buy some freshly made. Soooo craving them!

My neighbour is growing dill and has too much that they don't know what to do with it! So, I took some to work and we made sandwiches for lunch. Such a gorgeously fresh flavour!

Lunch
Homemade Char Siew Roll

I love those Vietnamese rolls you can get from the Asian grocers in Northbridge. I haven't had one for years, but I made my own version if I can get my hands on some char siew. I saw some pork fillet on special at the shops the other day so I decided to try making my own. I bought a packet of the marinade from the Asian supermarket. It comes in powder form and you add water to it and marinate the pork overnight. I then roasted it and then sliced it up. Not bad! It tastes exactly like char siew, just without the bright red colour. Mum has the colouring for it at home...she used to make her own char siew.

Afternoon Snack at Work
Thai Green Chicken Curry

Oh my...the curry paste I made for this last night turned out to be the best I've made. Ever. I hope I can recreate it since I don't cook using measurements. I cook to feel and taste, so my concoctions always turn out slightly differently.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my truffles...

Dinner
Linguine with Bacon, Asparagus and Mushrooms in a Creamy Sauce with Black Truffle

I had a few homemade beef burger patties in the freezer from a burger night I had a while back. I defrosted them for lunch.

Alas! I forgot to buy burger buns.

Lunch
Deconstructed Beef Burger with homemade Coleslaw.


Dinner
Cheese Tortellini & Vegetable Soup with Speck

Friday 30th September 2011

The hospital kitchen staff held a lunch today - BURGERS!!

The burger patties were cooked and wrapped up in burger buns. We simply had to add whatever salads and sauces we wanted.

Delish.


I later had this ham and cheese sandwich - it looks like an elephant!

Long came over and helped me finish off my driveway today - WOO!

After a few hours of hard work, I put together a few burgers and we sat in the garage to eat them. The weather was beautifully warm and it was great to admire our work while gobbling up our food.

Lamb Roast for dinner!

It's not often I get to have roast lamb or beef for dinner because the roasts are much too large for one person to eat. I'd be stuck with leftovers for a few days. However, at my local IGA I found lamb in small roasting portions so I snatched one up!

Lamb Roast with Carrots, Potatoes and Garlic

All that was missing was the gravy...wah

Breakfast
Bacon & Egg Sandwich


Lunch at Work
Chicken Stirfry with Rice


Dinner
Spaghetti Bolognaise

Monday 8th August 2011

I roasted some chicken breast the other night with lots of spicy spices. I don't usually eat chicken breast because you need to cook it just right or it's too dry. And even if you cook it just right, if you don't eat it immediately, it goes dry.

So, I usually roast chicken breast and shred it up for salads or sandwiches.

A healthy roll for lunch.

Friday 5th August 2011

Breakfast
Roasted Spicy Chicken and Salad Sandwich with Mayonnaise

I roasted a couple of chicken breasts with a mixture of spices last night and this morning I ripped the meat up to make some sandwiches. Delicious and healthy!

THURSDAY LUNCH - PIZZA SUBS!

Ian and Melinda got busy preparing our pizza subs for lunch today.

Dinner
Chicken, Mushroom & Leek Risotto

Saturday 30th July 2011

I woke up early this morning to make breakfast to take into work for myself and the girls.

Wholemeal English Muffins with a Sunny-Side-Up Egg, Bacon, Cheese & Tomato Sauce


Better than Maccas...yes?



We had steamboat for the very first time tonight.


The Lim family brought me some fresh mandarins for my housewarming.
They looked gorgeous and were sweet and juicy!


After my guests took their leave, I put together a little platter for myself. Mandarin, vegie crackers and some flat chilli pancetta that I cut into little pieces.

A nice way to end the night.
