This was last Thursday. It was drizzling when we woke up but after a while it stopped.
It was 7:08am and still dark when we reached the school.
7:14am
8:07am - having completed our walk.
8:10am - facing Kledang Hill.
Yellow ginger or turmeric leaves from my garden.
Yellow ginger or turmeric flower (old image taken in 2017).
Yellow ginger or turmeric harvested from a single pot - Nov. 2021.
After air dried, I removed the tiny roots from the turmeric rhizomes and wrapped it with paper tissue and then into a plastic bag to be kept in the fridge.
~~~~~
Home cooked dinner without rice for 2
I took out some yellow ginger or turmeric, pound it with some garlic and shallots, added in some salt, chili powder, oyster sauce and honey. I used this paste to marinate 2 chicken legs.
Thinking back, I should have deboned the chicken legs since I decided to pan fried the chicken legs. Plus, it will be easier and shorter cooking time.
The napa cabbage had this colour is because I used back the same oil for frying the chicken legs to saute the napa cabbage.
Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years,
doing the best for us that they knew how,
but God's correction is always right and for our best good,
that we may share his holiness.
Being punished isn't enjoyable while it is happening - it hurts!
But afterwards we can see the result,
a quiet growth in grace and character.
So take a new grip with your tired hands,
stand firm on your shaky legs, and mark out a straight,
smooth path for your feet so that those who follow you,
though weak and lame, will not fall
and hurt themselves but become strong.
(Hebrews 12:10-13, The Living Bible-TLB)
The freshly harvested turmeric roots are so gorgeous. Bet the chicken tastes amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. The chicken well marinated and tasty.
DeleteFlavour will go in better also if debone... Nice to have a slightly different shade for the veg!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I prefer to debone the chicken legs but that day I was kind of lazy.
DeleteI'm a big fan of turmeric and it good for you.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Thank you, Dora. Have a good weekend.
DeleteThe turmeric looks wonderful have never seen it like that only in powder form.
ReplyDeleteBoth free turmeric roots and powder are easily available here.
Deletelooks good! better than Nandos roasted chicken!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nux. Lol! I think so too.
DeleteGood grief! Your kunyit is SO FAT!!! What fertiliser do you use?
ReplyDeleteMy leaves are big - good for wrapping fish and what not to be baked in the oven (in place of banana leaves - has an added fragrance) but the kunyit...so miserable, very small. Sad!!!
Chicken looks yummy!
Thank you, STP. I used organic chicken manure fertilizer for all my edibles.
DeleteWhen it warms up and I´m still working from home I think I will copy your morning walks.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never saw - or knew - ginger has leaves. Hmmm, will buy some ginger again!
And, hmmmm... chicken! (I prefer breast, though). Never heard of that chicken, but getting hungry now! Nice plate, too.
Thank you, Iris. I hope you get to enjoy your morning walks. I like the back portion with less meat. My younger son loves breast meat.
DeleteTurmeric is a wonderful spice, but I only have it ready ground, I have never seen the roots before. Your chicken looks so delicious! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletePowder form is convenient. Pounding the fresh turmeric roots can be messy.
DeleteThe turmeric chicken looks delicious and the plant looks amazing!

Thank you, Julia.
DeleteHello Nancy,:=) Your dinner looks mouth watering good. I love all the ingredients and also chicken, so together they must taste delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Breathtaking. Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteIn recent years Napa cabbage has become standard in stores here. We use it all the time.
ReplyDeleteI prefer napa cabbage to cabbage.
Delete...Nany, you certainly get a bounty from your garden. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom, Enjoy your weekend.
DeleteBeautiful skies from gloomy to blue! Yummy chicken legs
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteSome marvelous skies!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
DeleteGreat sky shots and yummy on the chicken. I love chicken. You can fix it so many different ways.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. Have a fabulous weekend.
DeleteTurmeric does look a lot like ginger, i had no clue that it was also called yellow ginger but i can see why it is.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi.
DeleteHow lucky you are to be able to harvest ginger! From what I see, the flower is turmeric. Do you have them differentiated or is it the same for you: ginger and turmeric. I have the doubt.
ReplyDeleteKisses nancy
I can recognize the difference in the leaves.
DeleteBuena cosecha de jengibre, y que buena pinta tiene ese muslo de pollo, que parece decirnos ¡cómeme!...
ReplyDeleteY estimada amiga, Nancy, estoy muy de acuerdo con tu reflexión final, sobre la actitud y el camino a seguir de las personas.
Buen dÃa.
Thank you, Manuel. Happy weekend.
DeleteBeautiful skies and turmeric is so healthy for you. Keep safe Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Keep safe too.
DeleteSome bloody good photos
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne.
Deletebeautiful blue sky <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Klara.
DeleteGenial que tengas cúrcuma y jengibre . Me gusto que el pollo. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteBet your turmeric chicken was tasty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. They are tasty.
DeleteRecogiste bastante cúrcuma, hace un tiempo la sembré, pero se secó. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteNot sure why I missed this post. Wah, your tumeric sure is a good bountiful harvest. I like to eat tumeric chicken and I also prefer deboned chicken. That day u must be in a hurry, right? That's why didn't debone the chicken.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. I don't know why I didn't think of deboning the chicken. Probably preoccupied with something.
