Stewed Chicken Feet With Shiitake Mushroom & Cloud Ears Fungus

Today is 10th day MCO. I had a good sleep and woke up early this morning at about 7:00 am. First thing on my mind after washing up was to go out to check whether there is a beautiful sunrise waiting for me.
Sunrise @ 7:35 am.
*     *     *     *     *
Last week hubby's sister called to inform us that she will be forwarding a package for our family through the courier service. Thank God for her thoughtfulness and concern. Upon receiving the order, she quickly forwarded to us.
We received this package yesterday morning.
Very timely arrival, we need this urgently because we need to wear mask before entering stores to buy our provision and hand sanitizer to disinfect our hands after holding the shopping cart, etc. Will be forwarding these items to my sons as supply is limited everywhere. Hope these will last until MCO is over.
A bottle of hand sanitizer abt 600 ml.
2 packs of facial masks and 6 nos. of small sized hand sanitizer.
These will come in very useful to keep us safe.
The day before yesterday, I bought 2 pairs of rubber gloves and a box of disposal plastic gloves from the local mini mart. These will come in useful when we need to go out to get our essentials and when filling up of petrol. For now, we are staying home and keeping ourselves occupied. My friend also shared with me about disinfectant cleaning services that are becoming more popular nowadays due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

8th day MCO (Wed)
Stewed chicken feet
I stewed chicken feet with dried shiitake mushrooms and dried cloud ear fungus for 2 meals. I kept the 2nd portion for next day's dinner.
Blanched home grown baby choy sum (green veggie), drizzled with olive oil and soy sauce.
This was our dinner on the 8th day MCO.

9th day MCO (Thurs)
These Malabar Spinach getting overcrowded.
I harvested Malabar Spinach, 2 long beans and 2 chilies from my garden.
2nd portion of stewed chicken feet.
Blanched home grown Malabar Spinach, drizzled with olive oil and soy sauce.
Now why I go and fry these 2 eggs?
The stewed chicken feet and vegetable were more than enough for us.
This was our dinner on the 9th day MCO.
Maybe I was hungry because I skipped lunch. We finished everything except for some left over stewed chicken feet which I kept for hubby's next day simple lunch.


Your words are what sustain me; they are food to my hungry soul.
They bring joy to my sorrowing heart and delight me.
How proud I am to bear your name, O Lord.

  3. It is staying at home here also, me and my husband go only grocery shopping early in the morning. 7-8 o'clock is reserved for risk groups. Helsinki region / the whole Uusimaa province is now separated from the rest of the country in order to stop the virus spreading to the rest of the country.. I am happy that I have my garden and solitary nature paths near by. Take care Nancy.

  6. The food looks so healthy and delicious. Glad you have sanitizer, face masks etc. Here I cannot buy any because they are in short supply. In fact I haven't been able to find certain things I need. Hopefully they will have appropriate stock soon. They keep saying that there is abundant supply and not to hoard but so far I still see gaps on the shelves. I'm not worried as I have enough for awhile and just get a little here and there when I can. Have a blessed weekend.

    1. Supply everywhere is limited. Many have to book and queue up to buy facial masks. Hope the manufacturers will be able to meet the urgent needs.

  17. These are difficult times for everyone. Unfortunately many people are unable to obtain items such as masks and hand sanitizers. I am sure these issues will be with us for months to come.
