Pickled Home Grown Ginger & Pickled Belimbing Buluh

Woke up this morning and checked the weather forecast. It said it will be a cloudy day and didn't mention about rain. After morning walk and breakfast, I watered the plants in my garden. About 10am, the sky became dark and 15 minutes later, it rained but only for a short while.

Morning sky at 7:16am.

We stopped at our regular coffee shop for breakfast.

Fish meat noodle with napa cabbage, tomato wedges, 1 fried fish cake, ginger strips and Chinese cooking wine added. The current price is RM9.50.

Croissant sandwich @ RM6.80 

Croissant with ham and fried egg.

We shared the above breakfast and we each had a cup of unsweetened coffee. After breakfast, we walked home.

Last week, I dug out my home grown ginger rhizomes.

I used them to make ginger pickles.

The ginger rhizomes cleaned and the skin removed, and ready for slicing.

Here is my pickled ginger. I also added in some home grown bird's eye chilies.

I replanted the young ginger plants and now I have 2 pots.

I had the above belimbing buluh (bamboo starfruits) in my fridge, blessing from our friends. Since I had extra vinegar and sugar syrup, I also pickled these belimbing buluh. They can't keep too long in the fridge and will go black/bad after about a week.

This is our friends' bamboo starfruit tree in front of their house.

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives:

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 

There is no law against these things!

(Galatians 5:22-23, New Living Translation-NLT)
