Simple Pork Ribs Recipes for Home Cooking

Everyone is complaining about the hot weather. This hot weather is making me very lazy.  There is going to be an increase in our electricity bill during this time.  

 Sunrise and reflection at the park @ 6:50 am

 Sunrise @ 7:05 am

 One afternoon we had roast duck and bbq pork rice at a new place.

Hubby and I shared this plate of rice and I quite enjoyed this lunch.

 Saw this plant with flowers in front of a row of shop. 

 One day our car was parked in front of this motorcycle shop.

 Not sure whether this was for sale because there was no "For Sale" sign.

Though I was lazy to cook, there is still stock in the freezer which I need to clear. Thinking of something simple to cook to shorten the sweating time in the kitchen.

Clothing Items To Add To Your Wardrobe

There are certain essential items which every woman has in her wardrobe, regardless of your fashion preferences. Women care about their look and looking good gives them confidence. Some of the common essential clothing items in a woman's wardrobe would be a pair of good quality jeans, one or two pair of fancy pants, some simple T-shirts, some dresses, a blazer, a pair of jumpsuit, a sexy swimwear, a pair of sneakers, a sexy high heels, and etc. 

If you are lacking in any of the above items, then it is time for some shopping! Too busy to go from stores to stores? These days, you can easily visit any women's clothing online store to search for whatever pieces of clothing you want. If you are interested in getting a jumpsuit, you can click on any of the women's dresses online stores such as "Luvyle". Type the word "jumpsuit", and you will have a wide range of cute cheap jumpsuits for you to choose from.

You might also be interested in trendy outerwear which are you can match with your pants or jeans. You might even consider getting a new blazer or a sweater depending on what you want or how you want to wear it.

You can also look amazing in T-shirts especially those in solid, classic colours e.g. a black and a white T-shirt, or of the darker shades depending on your preferences. You can also choose T-shirts with a v-neck, or you might prefer the comfort of a classic crew.

Dinner At Restoran Sembilan Tiga Due (932), Menglembu.

The weather is getting hotter and I am spending less time in the garden. As far as possible I try to avoid going outdoor during the day.

Temperature is 27 deg C at 10:00 am with the highest at 35 C!

I prefer to stay home with the fan full speed.

Most nights sleeping with the air con on. Sometimes it rains. 

When it gets too hot, there will be no cooking in my kitchen.

We had the following dishes for dinner @ Restoran 932, Menglembu.

Deep fried tofu topped with minced pork, chopped salted radish, garlic, etc.

Sambal belacan paku pakis.

Sharing some pictures of plants from my friend's garden.

Passion fruit flower.

These look like spider lily plants but they have yellow leaves?

Are they of the same family?

Spider lily?

Both look similar but their leaves are of different colours.

Warm Greetings From My Garden

Warm greetings from my garden! 

I have tidied and rearranged my garden to make it easier to manage. I just want to enjoy the garden and not let it be a burden to me. A friend happily adopted all the plants that I wanted to give away. Now there is more space to grow more edibles. The following are some of the plants doing well in my garden in spite of the hot weather.

Orange Crossandra or Orange Firecrackers

 It seems to enjoy the hot weather.

 The hot weather is also suitable for chili plants.

This one grew from the discarded dried chili seeds

Another one from the dried chili seed.

The chilies are long and slim.

Ripening.

A long red chili.

Growing beside the long chili plant is this plant with short chilies.

The long chili hangs down while the short one points upwards.

 Chilies are first fruits while the eggplant is the last fruit from an old plant.

 I also harvest these remaining spring onions which I planted for the Chinese New Year cooking.
Didn't want them to grow too old.

 This hibiscus plant also enjoys the hot weather.

 It has been blooming non-stop.

 Evening sky 

Setting sun

Glow from the setting sun.

That is all for today, see you tomorrow!
Have a fun and happy new week!

Don't hide your light!

Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see,

so that they will praise your heavenly Father.

(Matthew 5:15-16, The Living Bible-TLB)
