Breakfast: Pancakes! Lunch: Bacon carbonara on capellini pasta Feeling not hungry today, probably because I did nothing at all. I think I need to go to the supermarket to get some stuff to cook.

Breakfast: Sausage, scrambled eggs. Potato, onions and mushrooms sautéd in olive oil. Tomato, and wheat bread and orange juice. Dinner: Flakes of smoked salmon and tidbits of cucumber over steamy white rice. Orange juice to drown. Autumn in Perth is cool yet not killing. Mornings are light, and days are filled with sunshine.  Early evenings are awesome, and nights are peaceful. I think I'll never get enough of this. I've been slacking off at cooking lately I reckon. I'm scared that I'll throw down the towel too early for this blog. Hope I'll get more inspired on eating well as the autumnal days go by.

Breakfast: pancakes with strawberries, banana cake, Nutella spread and orange juice. Dinner: Grilled pork, potatoes and carrots with white rice. Cucumber salad with tomato grapes in apple cider vinegar.

Breakfast: Pancakes with strawberries. Lunch: Burgers prepared by another Filipino I met in The Dorm. And lots of booze and chips. Dinner: Scrambled eggs stuffed with lamb casserole  Lots of room parties in the dorm to kick off the long Easter weekend ya'll. I was thoroughly drunk an hour ago, but sober like it's midday right now. Off for my weekly dose of AI in a bit!

Breakfast: Flakes of smoked salmon, and cucumber on white rice. Lunch: Lamb casserole, grilled chicken, and mesclun salad with cucumber and peaches. Blackcurrent juice to drown. Dinner: Cold capellini pasta with shrimps sautéd on olive oil, lime juice, garlic and shrimp paste. Guava juice and frozen peaches to kill the garlic. Worked from home today. I'm wondering whether all these people casted on reality TV shows are actual contestants (meaning: ordinary people) or just a bunch of actors/actresses paid to play as contestants. They seem to know what to say all the time! People in real life, I suppose, are not as articulate as those bunch. Or that maybe, they are actual ordinary people (but just) made to read from scripts and with camera-made personalities purported by the most edited of clips just so they appear the way people at home can enjoy. Nevertheless, I do enjoy the endless banter regardless of whether it's real, or otherwise.    

Breakfast: Coffee, sunny side up, toast, and peach (which I didn't eat as I was running late for my meeting with the prof). Dinner: Capellini pasta topped with flakes of smoked salmon and shrimp sautéd with garlic on olive oil, toasted wheat bread. Mesclun salad with tomato grapes, mango, and almonds dressed with apple cidar vinegar and olive oil. Late night snack: Deep fried Oreos (I'm one happy kid!) I was starving when I went back home so I cooked dinner as fast as I could. Turns out I'm pretty quick as I was done preparing everything in less than 30 minutes! But who gives a fudge anyway?

Breakfast: Bacon and egg, white rice, lettuce salad dressed in olive oil, bread toast, and guava juice. Dinner: Rice with lamb casserole which I cooked last night. This lamb turned out pretty nice. So much for worrying that I might miss making it right the second time. Turned out pretty well (yummy!) so I'm giving myself a pat on the back. Late night snack: Toasted bread with Nutella and a cup of milk. It was drizzling the whole day today! Looks like autumn is coming to this part of the world. Not a very helpful weather if you're pulling an all-nighter for a meeting with the prof tomorrow. I'm close to giving myself a cup of coffee but worried that I might end up awake till Wednesday. What to do, what to do?

Breakfast: Toasted raisin and wheat bread, scrambled eggs with tomatoe, and pork and beans. Yogurt and milk are not in photo. Dinner: Left over beef lasagne, toasted bread (salted and soaked in olive oil), peaches in yogurt and blackcurrant juice.   Sneaky midnight snack: Good 'ol Oreo and milk! I learnt today that there's a two-week holiday from uni starting 1st of April. Not sure though whether the rumor is up for April fool's day or something. Anyway, it's Monday early morning, and I'm having a weekend withdrawal syndrome (read: insomnia).   

Brunch: Nasi-goreng fried rice, scrambled eggs, tomatoe, milk and orange-mango juice Dinner: Beef lasagne, satay chicken barbecue, lettuce and peach salad dressed in apple cidar vinegar and olive oil. Late nigh snack: fried cardava banana with brown sugar and almonds (Filipino turon) and blackcurrant juice. Miss having this typical Filipino snack so imagine the excitement when I found a "saging na saba" (cardava banana) in the supermarket, something I haven't seen in Tokyo the whole time I was there. Invited a few friends over for early dinner. I don't know with you, but I feel so grown up cooking food for friends. I wish I have a bigger table though. That, at least, would inspire me to be more "friendly" just so I could fill it up. 

Breakfast: Nasi-goreng fried rice, tomatoes, yogurt, guava juice, and raisin toast; Dinner: Smoked salmon with  lumpfish caviar, vegetables sautéd on olive oil, white rice and orange-mango juice. I watched L'Auberge Espagnole (2002) again, and still find it very amusing to this day. Funny thing is that I realised that I pick a different favorite character everytime I rewatch it. Well, for today, Wendy's brother cracked me up so now I have a new favorite! I went out for a walk this afternoon to find out what's in the river bank of the river I can see from my flat. Well, it's this:

Brunch: Raisin toast, sunny-side up, yogurt and a peach  Late afternoon snack: Tea, biscuits, and peaches Dinner: Steamed Jasmine rice, grilled lamb chops with vegetables sautéd in olive oil, and blackcurrant juice. Today was my first time to cook lamb! I must say it's one tricky meat to make right. Since I was unsure how to tackle it (and to think I was cooking dinner for a date, and I was running out of time), I hastily consulted  googled and followed the easiest (and certainly the surest) way to get it done. Except for the fact that it was chewy (need: meat tenderiser), I think I did fine, or so what my date has said (and I wish to believe). Moral of the story is to avoid lamb on a date. Heh.

Brunch:Raisin toast, baked beans, scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and orange juice; Afternoon snack: instant cappuccino, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Skittles (not shown) Dinner: Grilled honey and spicy chicken winglets (topped with mayo), steamed rice, avocado with yogurt, a cup of milk, and peach. Busy with reading materials for work. I couldn't quite understand why whenever I need to finish something, the clock ticks rather faster than usual. I feel like I'm doomed half of the time. 

Brunch: Scrambled eggs, pork steak, steamed rice, yogurt and cherry tomatoes, and instant cappuccino (which got spilled inside the microwave) Dinner: Peach, avocado, lettuce salad with bits of almonds, dressed in olive oil and apple cider vinegar, and grilled chicken and coconut-pineapple juice (not shown). Somebody's dating. And somebody's eating salad! :)

Breakfast: Raisin loaf with Nutella!, yogurt, and instant cappuccino Lunch: Scrambled eggs, fried rice using braised pork stew from last night, tomato cherries, and orange-mango juice; Dinner: Salad with olive oil dressing and cheese, roasted chicken (spicy!) and fried rice left-over Late afternoon coffee: Café mocha, some "organic" wheat bar Midnight snack: Milk, biscuit with rasperry jam & whipped cream filling, and a spoonful of Nutella. Licking a spoonful of Nutella felt like swallowing a pill: I don't quite get why a lot of people likes this spread. It's too sweet, and pretty much just that. It reminds me of this really nice coconut jam (put inside a real coconut shell) which my mother used to buy when I was younger, except that Nutella is a very sweet chocolate that tries to be this coconut jam. Or maybe I just don't have the taste for expensive foods? Who knows really.
