Brazilian Spinach In My Oat Porridge

I came to know about Brazilian Spinach through a friend when she gave me a handful of cuttings to grow. From the handful of cuttings, I had about 4 pots of Brazilian Spinach growing in my garden. One of its common name is Poor Man's Spinach.

It is a hardy, leafy, low growing vegetable that doesn't need much care.

From the 4 pots, I now have only 2 pots because I am the only one who like it.

If left to grow, tiny white flowers will appear.

It is easy to grow through stem cuttings.

The leaves are tender and nice to eat when they are tender.

So far, I have used the leaves to boil soup or blanched the leaves.

I have not tried to make salad with the leaves.

One morning, I added Brazilian leaves and dried cranberry to my oat porridge.

Hubby bought spicy fried noodle Mamak style.

Home made instant black coffee.

I was surprised to see an Ornamental Okra plant growing out of a flower pot which belong to the Gold Cup plant. It has even budded.

This is the pretty flower of the Ornamental Okra plant.

Home fried Beehoon Siam (my own version) with crispy fried lard.

That evening, we were blessed with a spectacular sunset.

Can you see the bird on the roof?

It is waiting to return to its nest in my Bauhinia Kockiana plant.

In the same way, we can see and

understand only a little about God now,

as if we were peering at his reflection in a poor mirror;

but someday we are going to see him in his completeness, face-to-face.

Now all that I know is hazy and blurred,

but then I will see everything clearly,

just as clearly as God sees into my heart right now.

(1 Corinthians 13:12, The Living Bible-TLB)
