thai food

Australia: Sunday in Manly

  Sunday was Chris’ final scuba day so he left early again and Laura, Kyle and I headed to breakfast in Double Bay (after feeding the little man).  The servers were all really into P. Standard.   We ate at the Cosmopolitan Cafe and I got scrambled eggs with gluten free toast and avocado.  Money.  It was exactly what I wanted.  I meant to try the Vegemite on my toast but forgot.  I never did get around to sampling it.  In fact, I never saw it again after that breakfast so I totally forgot.  Womp… Read more >

Before 2014 started

I did a pretty good job of meal planning that last week of the year. First we finished off all the holiday leftovers we brought back from my parents’ house, including stuffing, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, and lima bean casserole.   One day, I jazzed it up and made a cheesy “gravy” sauce with nooch and water.    And another day, I paired it with a salmon burger for some protein.  Kyle took care of the rest of it.   There was also extra shrimp and veggies from my parents’ holiday party so I pulled… Read more >

A few prepared meals (not by me)

I’ve been a kinda pathetic wife.  At least in the cooking department. Last week I was so busy working I didn’t cook us anything.  Yes, I work nights.  So in theory I could cook us food.  If I had my head on straight.  Which I didn’t. Frozen food to the rescue! Tandoor Chef makes a few veg friendly products and I had a coupon for one, so I let Kyle enjoy the blog perk. His review of the vegetable pad thai: delicious, but not enough for an adult male; just the right amount of greasy;… Read more >

Weekend in Chico (woo!)

Kyle and his friends (who all grew up together in Chico) always say “woooo!” after anyone mentions Chico, so it’s become a habit for me too.  So that’s what the post title is about. I’ve written about Chico visits before, and we usually got to the same spots, so I won’t elaborate too much on the food. Friday night I had my fantasy draft and Kyle went to poker night. In spite of my half assed research, I came out with a decent team (I hope?) but it was very stressful…hence the chocolate wrappers.  … Read more >

What I Ate…T/W

My Tuesday and Wednesday.  For your viewing pleasure. Breakfast.  Banana bread + fried egg.  Decaf, decaf, decaf. Lunch.  Celery, carrots, zucchini egg muffins with fresh grind peanut butter. After Kyle woke up I went for a short jog around the ‘hood and then we headed downtown for fro-yo. Snack.  Cultive mix of banana & white chocolate fro-yo topped with slivered almonds, shredded coconut, blueberries, and raspberries. Dinner.  Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodle Fry. Check out the squash from my coworkers’ garden!  I also scored some medjool dates and oranges from her.  The cherry tomatoes are from… Read more >
