The dishes I cooked for dinner were planned to use whatever I have harvested from my garden. So for this particular dinner, I will be using both the white bitter gourd and snake long beans that were kept in my fridge.
Stewed pork and white bitter gourd.
Ingredients: garlic, ginger, salted black beans, fermented soy beans.
Steamed snake long beans.
Drizzled with olive oil and light soy sauce.
Both the above dishes were with less salt to suit our dinner minus the rice or noodle.
Lovely sunrise @ 7:10 am
After weeks of hot weather, the rain came and the temperature is more bearable now.

I cling to your commands and follow them as closely as I can.
Lord, don't let me make a mess of things.
(Psalm 119:31, The Living Bible-TLB)
Your bowls of food look tasty. It's good to see your spinach
ReplyDeleteand beans. It's satisfying to grow your own vegetables. I'm glad to hear the rain came and temperature is more bearable.
We had rain for 2 days and now we are back to hot days again.

ReplyDeleteI don't know whether it is this grasshopper but something has been eating my pandan leaves.
