Home Cooked Dinner On A Cloudy Day

There are days when I am too lazy to cook. It is especially so when the weather is hot and sweaty and cooking in the hot kitchen is no fun at all. If I have to cook, then I will think of the simplest recipes to avoid spending much time in the kitchen. Here is one of such home cook meal for 2 people.

Lotus root soup, green veggie & steamed rice - a simple balanced meal.

Ingredients for the soup: lotus root, arrowroot, pork rib, red dates & goji berries. Everything is placed in a pressure cooker together with enough water to cook and then seasoned with salt to taste.

Blanched Romaine lettuce drizzled with a bit of soy sauce. Of course it will taste much better with some garlic oil but it was not available that evening.

Steamed rice for 2 people.

Most of the time I like to eat the rice soaked in the bowl of soup. I used to do that in my younger days when I want to watch some TV series in the hall.

This was one of the days with an overcast sky.

Sunrise at 8 am.

Sunrise blocked by the cloud.

Evening sky at 5.50 pm.

It was a dull, gloomy day.

When a man is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong;

when he is cheerful, everything seems right!

(Proverbs 15:15, The Living Bible-TLB)
