A photo of a pile of pan-fried dumplings in a cardboard takeaway box.

We went to Castle Towers for dinner, intending on trying the Japanese place that's there, except it was ridiculously packed and had a queue to even order, so we gave up and got food court dumplings, which were better than they had any right to be (though they WERE pretty greasy).

Then we went to Uniqlo and I bought new clothes that actually look nice! (Of the three items I got, two are black and the pair of pants is a VERY dark navy blue. So I'm still wearing all black, just with a nicer cut and better fit.)

A photo of scrambled eggs and potato gems sitting on a plate. The potato gems are golden-brown and crispy, and the eggs are fluffy.

Dinner. Of. Champions.

A photo of two slices of rustic-looking bread lying open-faced on a plate, covered in slices of tomato with cooked mushrooms on top and little chunks of cheddar cheese on top of that.

A photo of two cooling racks with small-ish round golden-brown cookies on top.

What a delicious day that was. Mushrooms cooked in sage, rosemary, and garlic with cooked tomatoes on my home-made bread, with sharp cheddar cheese sprinkled on top for lunch, then I made miso chocolate chip cookies this afternoon.

A photo of two round golden brown loaves of bread sitting on a cooling rack on a white countertop. The sun is streaming in the window and directly onto them.

A photo of nine individual tupperware containers that each have half rice and half red tomato-based chicken curry with green beans and carrots in it.

Man, today was the day of cooking. First these two round loafy bois, then NINE serves of curry for leftover lunches.

A photo of a big white rectangular casserole dish with food in it, but you can't make out what's underneath the crunchy golden brown panko breadcrumb topping. It looks amazing though.

A photo of the tuna mornay in a bowl. Here you can see that underneath the topping it consists of spiral pasta with chunks of tuna and pieces of corn in a thick white sauce.

We made the tuna mornay recipe from Recipe Tin Eats for dinner tonight, and OMG IT WAS EPIC.

I'm not quite sure how she decided it was ten minutes of prep because it took us about fifty, with a whole lot of mess, but holy crap was it worth it! Just absolutely delicious.

A photo of beef massaman curry on top of rice in a white bowl.

A photo of a can of Brookvale Union's spiced ginger beer. The art on the front has an elephant sitting down, wearing a Thai-looking decorative robe, but it also has an eyepatch and a pirate hat and is wielding a large sceptre.

Today is our thirteenth wedding anniversary! We WERE going to go out to Meat & Wine Co. for delicious slow-cooked meats but unfortunately over the weekend Kristina finally picked the cold I had. 😞 So instead we got takeaway Thai and are having our meats next week. Finishing it all up with a ginger beer that has spiced rum in it and it is DELICIOUS.

A photo of a pizza sitting on a plate. Just visible in places under the cheese are pieces of ham and onion, and on the top it has sun-dried tomatoes and olives.

And then we went out for Italian!

We WERE going to go for Thai and had made a booking, but Kristina got a very apologetic phone call this afternoon saying that they had to close the whole restaurant down because something had gone wrong in the kitchen and they were going to be closed for like a week because the whole floor needed to be taken up.

We'd been to this Italian place before MANY years ago but had zero memory of how it was. Turns out, really good! They had a brownie tiramisu for dessert that I really wanted to try but by the time I finished the pizza I was STUFFED. And this was just the medium pizza, not even the large one.

A photo of two pieces of chicken schnitzel with tomato paste and cheese on top, sitting on a white plate with some green beans next to them.

How's that for a trashy dinner: Aldi chicken schnitzel with tomato paste and cheese on top to turn it into a chicken parma.

A photo of beef Pad See Ew on a plate. It looks (and was) delicious!

A photo of dessert which was billed as "banana with sticky rice and ice cream". The banana seemed like it'd been smushed and shaped around a core of bean paste. Not very appetising-looking but was really tasty.

Kristina had a sudden hankering for Thai tonight so we went to our local Thai restaurant and it was excellent as always.

A photo of a pork schnitzel on top of chips, with some sort of pickled cabbage (it didn't taste like sauerkraut) and pickled beetroot things with a pasta salad thing as well.

Well, the food was actually delicious, but I'm pretty sure they had exactly one person in the kitchen and one fryer to make the food with because it took over an hour for it to arrive. Definitely not bothering with that place again.
