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)

  1. Ooooo...so much ginger!!!
    Belimbing buloh! My friend has a tree, not enough for him to use at his cafe...and nowhere to buy, nobody selling. Hard to find. Maybe except for my friend, people here do not know how to use the fruit for cooking.

    1. Then it is better for your friend to plant a few more trees to meet the supply for his cafe.

  6. Love your breakfast. We've not had breakfast yet and you made my stomach growl. You do that often with your food posts.

    I'll take any rain that you don't want or need. It's so dry here.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Nancy. ♥

  9. Thank you Nancy for always sharing interesting food and plants with us. Your Pickled Home Grown Ginger & Pickled Belimbing Buluh must be very appetising. Can these pickles be stored for more than one year?

    1. No worries, these pickles won't last for a year. Anyway, better not keep that long.

  11. This is my 2nd attempt at leaving a comment on this post. I eat Japanese pickled ginger with sushi. It is anti-inflammatory and good for you.

    1. Thank you, PH. I don't know how to cure the ginger to keep longer, so in order to use up all the ginger, the easiest is to pickle them.

  14. I can't eat early and have fruit and berries around 10 am for breakfast. The croissant sandwich looks tempting though,
