Christmas Blessing From Neighbour And Friend

I will start this post going back to Tuesday. It was a bright and sunny day.

Kledang Hill bathed with sunlight at 7:38am.

We returned from our morning walk and breakfast to find that the roof work had started on one of our neighbour's house.

They chose a good day to change the roof tiles.

The work was completed in less than a day. All the old tiles were carted away and everything was cleared away.

I harvested some purple and green brinjals from the garden for dinner.

I cut them into thick slices, soaked in salt water. Then I drained off the salt water, sprinkled pepper onto both sides of the brinjal slices and pan fried them until cooked. I served this with some chili oil and roasted sesame dressing.

Fried a thick slice of grouper fish with fried ginger strips and soy sauce. These we ate with plain rice porridge.

This year I didn't make or buy any thing for Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, I received 2 items from our neighbour.

A fruit cake.

And a fruit jelly.

On Christmas Day, I received a message telling me to collect something from a friend (ex-colleague's house after church.

Traditional roast pork with potatoes (without oven), using her grandma's recipe. I was told to heat up and sliced the pork thinly before serving which I did as above.

And I cooked non-fried Cintan dried noodle.

Before serving, I poured the gravy over the pork and noodle.

This was our Christmas Day dinner.

There was enough leftover for the next day's dinner.

and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.
