Home Cooked Dinner For A Lovely Day

The day started with a lovely sunrise and I have taken the following snapshots to share here.
 Sunrise at 6:45 am.
If you look closely, there is a man fishing at the pond.

 For breakfast, we shared this bowl of pork noodles and we each had a Chinese cruller to go with our unsweetened black coffee.
 These were harvested from my garden except the short okras.
There is now some short okra plants growing in my garden.
 I used all the above okras and luffa to cook this dish with prawns and meat slices.
Interestingly, the short okras are very crunchy.
I didn't cook any rice but fried a plate of rice vermicelli to eat with the above veggie dish for our dinner.
 We have planted some groundnuts and they are not ready for harvest yet.
Meanwhile, I will enjoy their tiny yellow flowers.


Being punished isn't enjoyable while it is happening - it hurts!
But afterwards we can see the result,
a quiet growth in grace and character.
(Hebrews 12:11, The Living Bible-TLB)

  8. The short okras are so fat that they look cute! I don't think supermarkets sell short fat okras like these.

    1. Whenever I see something new I am interested and want to try growing them. Always on the lookout for seeds of new veggies which I haven't grown before and which we don't normally find in the market or stores.
