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!

Smoked Salmon, Cucumber, Cream Cheese and Dill Sandwiches
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!

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.

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...

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!

All that was missing was the gravy...wah

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.

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

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.
