It rained yesterday evening and we were able to sleep without switching on the air-con in our room. Today is another hot day at 33 deg C.
The morning started with this lovely sunrise at 7:25 am at the park.
Harvest from my garden - red and green okras (lady fingers).
Just nice for that evening's dinner.
Steamed home grown eggplant (brinjals) and okras (lady fingers).
Served with garlic oil and oyster sauce.
Steamed 2 chicken legs with ginger strips, red dates, goji berries, salt & Chinese cooking wine. The above dishes were served with steamed basmati rice for dinner.

Ceramics - beautiful and multicoloured.
Ceramics - beautiful & multicoloured.
Blouse, sarung, and shoes - embroidered with beautiful and multicoloured designs.
A devout life does bring wealth,
but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God.
Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless,
if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough.
(1 Timothy 6:6-8, The Message-MSG)

DeleteThe ceramics are beautiful! And I learned about the Straits, which I had never heard of before. In the deep south here, okra is very popular. Gumbo is made with it. But only the green. I have never seen the red.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny! Red okra is very rare here and not sold in the markets.
DeleteYour home cooked meal looked delicious, particularly the chicken dish. Loved seeing the delicate embroidery of the shoes.

DeleteOh is basmathi the standard rice you use?
ReplyDeleteYeah thankfully the temperature is getting more bearable.
Yes, basmathi is supposed to contain less starch.
DeleteThose okra are huge! The ones I see here are no longer than a couple of inches.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2019/03/our-orchids-are-showing-off.html
Thank you, Sue. This is the huge type. The shorter ones are common, easily found in markets.
