Weekend food

This is our lunch today that I bought from the markets. This is the usual food that I grab when we go there. This is my semi-healthy dinner. Despite the veggies, this is still now healthy because of the sausage. It is gluten-free but very fatty. We indulge on fatty food on the weekends, so there's nothing to feel guilty about. I don't break-out from eating food such as...

Christmas Prep

Most people must already be ready for the Christmas Holidays. I am not. I haven't even thought what to have for lunch - which has been the customary event that we have for Christmas. I'm considering making glazed ham if it's not too ardous to do. Ham basicsWhole legs of ham usually weigh between seven and 10 kilograms, which is enough to feed a small army (see Guide to ham weights). You can always freeze leftovers or go for half leg, shoulder...

Breakfast Fix

I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but I'm not a big breakfast eater. I used to when I eat my mother's fried rice and dried fish but now that it's a choice of cereal, toast or fruit, I don't really find it appetising especially in really early mornings. I would prefer fruit but eating some is sometimes messy and mess is what you don't need if you're dressed for work. I've been looking for a blender that I can use to maybe...

Sunday Lunch

My usual Sunday lunch would be this, white bread sandwich (my favourite brand - Helga) with bacon and egg and some green veggies. Coffee if I'm sleepy and juice or cola, depends on the mood. I'm not a health buff so I tend to eat anything that may take my fancy - can't be bothered to think of quick weight loss diets. *****It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence...

Fry-up Night

Saturday is our fry-up night. Fried sausages, eggs and baked beans. I toss-up salad or some mixed veggies if I want change. But it's mainly anyone's choice whatever sides they'll have. Tonight, I cooked the first batch of the sausages in our electric fying pan. It's a big rectangular pan and can accommodate at least a dozen sausages that's why I prefer it. Just when...
