First time the church was close on Good Friday, 24th day MCO. We had to stay home and followed the pre-recorded service online via Youtube, at any time convenient to us. In the afternoon, our PM announced that the MCO has been further extended another 2 weeks to 28th April, 2020.
Sunrise at 7:05 am, Thursday morning, 23rd day MCO.
On the opposite side, I managed to capture the Pink Moon at 7:05 am, above the Kledang Hill.
Sunrise at 7:33 am.
Red okra plant from my garden.
Very soon, I will be able to harvest red okras from these plants.

Breakfast
Homemade noodle with stewed duck and blanched lettuce.
The stewed duck was the 2nd portion from the previous evening.
~~~~~
Lunch
Since we will not be holding small groups meeting in our home, I took out the prawn crackers to fry for lunch and snack.
Chilled peach gum sweet drink (tong sui) from the previous day.
We had the above for lunch.
~~~~~
Dinner
A packet of Sichuan preserved vegetable, soaked and chopped coarsely before mixing with a packet of minced pork.
Steamed minced pork with Sichuan preserved vegetable.
Mixed vegetable
(cauliflower, carrot, fish paste, oyster mushrooms)
Dinner for 2 people.

From my garden
A big grasshopper clinging to my okra plant.
It didn't fly away even when I reached out to cut the okra from the plant.
Lovely crimson red Ixora blooms.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
Who is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah,
with his clothing stained red?
Who is this in royal robes, marching in his great strength?
"It is I, the LORD, announcing your salvation!
It is I, the LORD, who has the power to save!"
(Isaiah 63:1, New Living Translation-NLT)
The pink moon and pink clouds and mountains are gorgeous pictures!! The Ixora is new to me. The Okra leaves are large and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. Happy Easter.

Thank you, Francisco.
DeleteNancy, we do have an okra plant here at our garden but I have never seen a Red Okra fruit. Please share it with us once it bears fruits :) Those leaves look ornamental, I love the colors! But that grasshopper made me flinch, I'm scared of them. Happy Easter Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stevenson. Red okras are rare. Happy Easter to you.
DeleteMinced pork with preserved vegetables is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteCommon yet delicious dish.
DeleteThose prawn crackers looks delicious! ❤

Great for snacking.
DeleteAn impressive morning sky!
ReplyDelete(I collect sky views in the 'Galeria Sky View')
Does the grasshopper belong to the species that eat whole fields empty?
That would be a shame, I think it's beautiful!
Happy Easter!
Thank you, Heidi. I am not sure but this 1 grasshopper has been chewing on the leaves of my plants.
Deletelove your lunch! red okras, I have not seen them being sold in supermarkets. Did your friend give you their seeds to plant?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. The seeds were given by friends and some were bought.
DeleteWe feel the strangeness of MCO more during special occasions huh. Good Friday, Qing Ming and soon it will be puasa month and Raya.
ReplyDeleteThe special occasions which is a must to participate are now not allowed because of MCO. For our safety and health, everyone has to follow and not participate.
DeleteI love those Ixora blooms. Great captures of the grasshopper, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose.
DeleteO wow the flowers are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Monica.
DeleteI like your okra plant, as the leaves are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeletePretty skies and plants, and such good meals! It is different that all of our church is online now, i am sad and i miss people, but i am happy we have what we have, good pastors who try to stay in touch and make sure we are still able to feel their love and the love of others in the congregation.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. Happy that we have the internet for us to stay connected. Pastors and everyone concerned are doing good job.
