White Bitter Gourd Soup & Steamed Okra + Brinjal

We are still having lots of rain, hopefully no more floods or damaging thunderstorms.

Sunrise at 7:35am.

We usually have sunny morning and rain later in afternoon or night.

Due to too much water, the bitter gourds were getting yellow tips so I had to harvest them earlier. The only way to consume them fast is either to make stuffed bitter gourd or use them to boil soup.

Since I had soup bones in the freezer, I decided to make bitter gourd soup which happens to be one of hubby's favourite soups.

We also had steamed long green okras and green brinjals (eggplants), topped with chili oil and soy sauce. This was our home cooked dinner for 2 people.

Hubby likes the colourful Coleus. He has been collecting different types of Coleus from kind and generous aunties that we pass by on our morning walk. The following are the Coleus in our collection.

The voice says, "Shout!"

"What shall I shout?" I asked.

"Shout that man is like the grass that dies aways,

and all his beauty fades like dying flowers.

The grass withers, the flowers fades beneath the breath of God.

And so it is with fragile man. The grass withers, the flowers fade,

but the word of our God shall stand forever."

(Isaiah 40:6-8, The Living Bible-TLB)
