Gardening & Home Cooked Dinner.

For the past whole week, I have been busy working in my garden. I have to discard some of plants that were not doing well and keep those that are healthy and easy to look after. There are also plants that needed trimming or cutting back and the cuttings to pass over to a friend.

This yellow Plumeria or yellow Frangipani is one of my favourite plants in my garden.

Although I grow it in a pot, it can grow very tall to almost touching the porch awning. 

I shortened the plant to about 1.5 feet. In fact this is the second time I have shortened the plant. The cuttings were all given to a friend who has a big compound to plant them.

 After a few weeks, new branches will start to grown.
This picture was taken the first time I shortened the plant.

So sad that this beautiful Plumeria plant has again been infected with rust disease or rust fungus. It is a kind of yellow powder that sticks to the underside of the leaves. I balded the whole plant twice but couldn't seem to get rid of the rust fungus. I finally gave the plant to a friend who wanted to adopt it.

 I finally had a chance to cut back the branches of this hibiscus plant after all the buds have flowered.

There are still meat and vegetable stocked up in my fridge so I have to be diligent in home cooking.

 Made another round of roast pork belly. We love the crunchy skin.

I used the Green Amaranth (yeen choy) from my garden to boil soup with dried shrimp and egg.

 I steamed some briyani rice to eat with roast pork and soup.

Next is your question about eating food that has been sacrificed to idols.

On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one!

But although being a "know-it-all" makes us feel important,

what is really needed to build the church is love.
