After our early morning walk and breakfast, I usually start by sweeping the porch area before watering the plants in my garden.
I observed my Ixora plant is with buds and flowers.

Home cooked dinner (Day 1)
I almost forgot about the taro that was kept in the vegetable compartment. Fortunately, the taro was still in good condition. I was thinking of a simple recipe to cook the taro and I recalled a recipe for steaming pork ribs with taro.
First, I marinated the pork ribs with chopped ginger and garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt and sugar, cooking wine, and tapioca flour for a few hours in the fridge. I spread out the taro cubes evenly in a streaming plate and placed the marinated pork ribs and whatever marinate sauce on top of the taro cubes. Steam over medium fire for about 40 minutes or until cooked and the taro softened.
Blanched home grown white brinjals and okras, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce,
Rice porridge.
This was my simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.
It was an early dinner at about 6 pm. At about 8 pm, we met up with our friends and we went for a light supper.
We went to the nearest food court and ordered bbq stingray. I only remembered to take this snapshot and forgotten about the rojak (fruits salad).
I took a snapshot of the pigeons on the power cable on our morning walk.

Instead, feed your enemy if he is hungry.
If he is thirsty give him something to drink and
you will be "heaping coals of fire on his head."
In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself
for what he has done to you.
