Lately, I have been trying to spend some time clearing weeds from my garden. Due to plentiful rainfall, the weeds seem to be doing better and growing faster than the edibles in my garden.
I found this lone mushroom in my garden. It is very unusual.
Instead of an umbrella shape top curving downwards, it curved upwards.

This was 4 days before MCO 2.0.
Hubby asked, "What are you cooking for dinner?" Actually, I was in lazy mode but I didn't feel like eating takeaway food. A short while later, I remembered we had some ready cooked food in the freezer.
I steamed the tub of ready cooked taro with pork belly. It was a very flavourful dish.
To heat up the fish paste and minced pork patties, I lightly fried them in a non-stick pan.
This was our dinner for 2 people.
The above photo was taken at a Flea Market in the year 2019.
There were pewter wares, smoking pipes, keris, coconut scraper, irons and etc.

The following shadow photos were taken during one of our morning walks.
We passed by a few street lamps and they cast nice shadows.
We have been passing by this way and I think this is the first time I thought taking snapshots of our shadows.
We cast long but blur shadows.
I managed to get a clear snapshot of our shadows.
O God, have pity, for I am trusting you!
I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until this storm is past.
(Psalm 57:1, The Living Bible-TLB)
You just proved that frozen food taste good too with your taro dish. 😋😋😋 Are you in cny mood yet? 18 days to go.
ReplyDeleteActually, I haven't got the CNY feel yet, probably because of MCO or CMCO.
DeletePork belly with taro is my all time favourite!! Such a yummy meal.
ReplyDeleteActually, anything with taro is my favourite.
DeleteExcellent selfie shadows from the walk and interesting antiques! Nice meal
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteI love looking at those antique stuff. I have that old iron at home too.
ReplyDeleteYes, the weeds are striving so much better during such rainy season. I also did a bit of weeding last week or else the weed is growing at same height as my fence! lol!
You better keep the old iron. We had one too but don't know what happened to it.

DeletePork is haram in Indonesia
ReplyDeleteSanggam Situmorang
Here, pork is not haram to non Muslim.
DeleteThose are some neat things at the flea market!
ReplyDeleteThe flea market is an interesting place to visit.
DeleteWhat an unusual mushroom! I always enjoy it when you show us your plants. We get little rain around here so our plants are quite different and not as luscious.
