Kampua Noodle With Minced Pork + Diced Mushroom Topping

This was last Monday. When we work woke up, it was still drizzling.

I went out to check at about 7:20am and found that the drizzling has stopped.

I went in to inform hubby and to change into my walking attire.

Surprise that the moon was still visible at the time.

This is the best I can manage with my old phone camera.

Up on my right, this mourning dove was making its "coo, coo" sound.

~~~~~

We had the following for dinner.

I used the last 2 remaining dried kampua noodle that my son bought in Sitiawan to cook for dinner.

I cooked minced pork with diced mushrooms with chopped garlic, oyster sauce, dark and light soy sauce, salt & sugar to taste. Before serving, mix the noodle with topping.

Steamed home grown long green okra or ladies finger and topped with crunchy chili oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Chinese sausages, sliced and pan fried.

Simple and satisfying dinner for 2 people.

My dear friend shared with me this photo of a moth that she found in her garden.

Photo credited to Maguerita.

Using Google Lens, it looks like the Slug Moth.

Can someone please help to identify this moth? Thank you.

Beware of false teachers who come disguised as harmless sheep,

but are wolves and will tear you apart.

You can detect them by the way they act,

just as you can identify a tree by its fruit.

You need never confuse grapevines with thorn

bushes or figs with thistles. Different kinds of fruit trees

can quickly be identified by examining their fruit.

(Matthew 7:15-17, The Living Bible-TLB)

Update from my garden.

I saw only one green tomato on one of my tomato plants.

I hope the flowers will produce more tomatoes in days to come.

Here is my description of a truly happy land where Jehovah is God:

Sons vigorous and tall as growing plants.

Daughters of graceful beauty like the pillars of a palace wall.

Barns full to the brim with crops of every kind.

Sheep by the thousands out in our fields.

Oxen loaded down with produce.

No enemy attacking the walls, but peace everywhere.

No crime in our streets.

Yes, happy are those whose God is Jehovah.

(Psalm 144:12-15, The Living Bible-TLB)

Sichuan salted vegetable soup with carrot, tomatoes and pork rib.

Sauteed cabbage + home grown ladies fingers with garlic and salt.

I totally forgotten that I have a packet of Chinese sausage in my fridge. It was a Chinese New Year gift from our neighbour. These sausages come in handy when I can't think of what to cook.

Linking to Monday Mural.

For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered

to everyone; and along with this gift comes the realization that

God wants us to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures

and to live good, God-fearing lives day after day,

looking forward to that wonderful time we've been expecting,

when his glory shall be seen - the glory of

our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

(Titus 2:11-13, The Living Bible-TLB)

Indian style fried rice vermicelli, sweet snacks & steamed fish

After we have had our walk, we stopped to take away 2 packets of fried vermicelli Indian style from the roadside stall.

As usual, we requested for extra sambal. We went to our regular coffee shop, ordered our coffee and ate our breakfast there.

We walked home after breakfast. I stopped to take a snapshot of this Ochna serrulata berries.

Back in my garden, I harvest 2 ripe figs.

These figs taste sweeter since they had the chance to ripen well on the plant before they were harvested.

Chilled herbal jelly (Gui Ling Guo) - the last one left in the fridge.

Chilled Sago dessert with palm sugar and evaporated milk.

I used milk because I do not have fresh coconut milk.

Simple Home Cooked Dinner

I had another 3 fishes in the fridge. Since they were very fresh, I decided to steam them tom yam style. I used the same ingredients and they were all placed on top of the fishes.

I also steamed 2 Chinese sausages and the darker one was the liver sausage.

This was our simple home cooked dinner with rice porridge.

Chilled home made sago dessert after dinner.

It was a mild sweet dessert which I have not ate for a long time.

Be full of love for others,

following the example of Christ who loved you and

himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins.

And God was pleased,

for Christ's love for you was like sweet perfume to him.
