Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 183
I am sure I can go for long stretches of time without meat but it is definitely more difficult absorbing more recipes. Oh and seafood – nothing else like it… I’ll try cutting back more (but no promises). Onward with more #OnigiriAction! November 7 At home the heating is yet to go on but I’ll […]
Lunch Log: Week 130
“I’m going vegetarian/pescatarian for a week” I declared after a week of chicken. Though the chicken definitely was not monotonous in preparation I felt that it was time to not go so heavy with meat-based protein as the ‘feature’ dish; it’s too close to doing what is the considered norm of “meat and two veg”. […]
Lunch Log: Week 122
Wow, what a long week.. Mine started on Sunday, helping serve beer and bar build/take-down. From there a half-day on Monday to make probably the only visit to Cambridge Beer Festival this week then the pressure of looming deadlines at work.. So apart from feeling tired, I did try out a simple way to cook […]
The week starts with haggis
The idea to throw a BBQ for any occasion is not a very original nor unfamiliar motion for a pair of Australians, and to have 2 ‘special’ calendar events in sequence doubles the chances for proceeding. Spawned to celebrate this years Burns Night and Australia day, the game was afoot to use as much haggis […]
February Blues
I have quite a backlog of entries to post about, but as I don’t really have time or the energy I’d rather invest in tweaking my theme to handle ‘micro’ posts. Just a picture and tags perhaps. Eh hem *cough* Twitpic *cough*. I wish I was actually joking about the coughing part (and to think […]
Stoplight Sushi
After finishing the old rice and quinoa for dinner, I finally got the opportunity to use the pre-roasted capsicum for an intended dish: stoplight sushi! Though the colours dulled, the natural sweetness and flavour is enhanced with roasting capsicum. The combination smoked mackerel, miso konnyaku, potato salad, peppery rocket, and roast capsicum was definitely an […]
First Perilla
Summer seems more evident with the majority of green produce in the off-license claiming it’s origins from the UK. The strawberries are still fruiting and flowering despite the unusual dry (and sunny!) weather. Unfortunately due to the move the crop of red perilla hadn’t the time in the ground as it should – last year […]
Temari Onigiri
The one big advantage from the move is evident in the kitchen – we seem to be able to get our hands on very fresh and local produce. One trip the local farm shop, which we consider our first stop for greens, had Yvan cycle home with a backpack of veggies. With such happy leafy […]
Miso Vegetables and Salmon
I have been putting off my bulk rice order for Yvan to sort out the new kitchen layout, so I have been craving plain white rice for a while. With the pantry and shopping schedules thrown, I requested for carrots and a cabbage since they are rather long lived vegetables. Generously, a pair of small […]
Tortang Talong and Makizushi
Though there is a lack of south-east asian grocery stores here, there is a wonderful selection of (what the English refer to as asian) stores. A minute away I have access to a large array of foodstuffs surprisingly missing from the larger supermarkets in town; the best part is the more ‘exotic’ vegetable selection: small […]
