I got home late from work tonight after running a few errands. No one was home to eat the steak that Mum had cooked so I had some for dinner.

T-Bone with Mashed Potatoes and Stirfried Beans & Broccoli

I don't generally eat T-bone because I can't be bothered cutting around the bone! Mum had seasoned it well but it was a little too overcooked for my liking. I'm heading towards medium-rare now!

After half a day at work, I had to rush over to the house to get as much painting done before the sun went down. I really couldn't be bothered cooking dinner so I made a detour on the way home and picked up some food from Spencer Village.

Number 16 from Miss Saigon - extra hot


The spicy soup is packed separately to the noodles and beef. I didn't realise I had gotten some of the oil from the soup on my hand and rubbed my eye. Aaargh!

I adore fish fingers. I always have a box of them in the freezer for days when I cannot be bothered cooking. Or for a quick breakfast on the go.
