Simple Yet Satisfying Dinner

The first thing I usually do upon reaching home after morning walk and breakfast is to sweep my porch area. 

 There was one morning when I noticed this ant which I have never seen before.

 It was moving very slowly and I managed to take a few snapshots of it. I lightly swept it into the dust pan and drop it onto the grass by the road side. 

 Hubby's customer gave him some green mangoes, which I made into pickles.

 I added a few crushed dried bird's eye chilies into the pickles.

 Sharing some of my pet Betta fishes.

 I no longer place plant cuttings in the fish bowls to make space for the fishes to swim in.

That morning's harvest from my garden.

Red, green okras and non spicy red chilies.

 I had some left over fish head curry brought back from the restaurant which hubby and I couldn't finish. All I have to do was add in the okras and chilies harvested from my garden.

I added a small plate of deep fried tiny dried anchovies to the curry dish to make a simple yet satisfying dinner for 2 people.

But most of all, dear brothers,

do not swear either by heaven or earth or anything else;

just say a simple yes or no so that

you will not sin and be condemned for it.

My New Fish Project

All the Siamese fighting fishes I had were all gone. One day I visited the plant nursery and saw how they arranged the plants in the fish bowls containing the Siamese fighting fishes. I was interested to try out the same thing and I went home to start my fish project again. I took out my fish bowls again, arranged the plant cuttings and filled the fish bowls with water. Then I drove to the plant nursery to buy 3 Siamese fighting fishes. One of the 3 fishes committed suicide when it jumped out of its fish bowl onto the floor. By the time we found out it was a dried fish. I have 4 fish bowls, 2 were filled with a Siamese fighting fish each and the other 2 fish bowls were filled with guppies.

 This is a punch bowl and is filled with 1 male and 2 female guppies. Now the bowl is filled with tiny guppy babies. When they have grown slightly bigger, the baby guppies were all transferred to hubby's bigger fish ponds.

 This is home to a Siamese fighting fish.

 This is home to another Siamese fighting fish.

 The Siamese fighting fish on the right committed suicide when it jumped out of the bowl.

 The fish bowl left vacant is now filled with 3 guppies.

 This Siamese fighting fish is dark blue with some red.and blue fins.

 This one has more red.

The following pictures were taken during our visit in Cameron Highlands.

 I don't know the name of these fishes.

 Japanese Carps in a pond in one of the Strawberry Garden.

 When they see us, they swam towards us expecting to be fed.

I managed to take a snapshot of this beautiful white Carp with orange sports.

So I advise you to buy gold from me -

gold that has been purified by fire.

Then you will be rich.

Also buy white garments from me

so you will not be shamed by your nakedness,

and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.

Western Style Dinner & My Siamese Fighting Fishes

It is time to join the Saturday's Critter meme again. But first, let me show you what we ate for dinner. We had a Western style dinner at the GP food court. We have not been to this food court for quite a while, so it was nice to be back again.

I had in mind to try a new stall but found it closed. We didn't want to eat rice so we both ordered Western style dinner, something different from our usual type of dinner. 

I went to check out the menu in front of the stall and ended up choosing this dinner plate. The dinner plate consists of a chicken pie, 2 pieces of garlic butter toasts, smashed potato and coleslaw.

Hubby ordered this from another stall which looks like a breakfast plate. It has fried egg, 2 pieces toast, a piece of ham, sausages, French fries and some baked beans.

My Pet Fish Is A Betta or Siamese Fighting Fish.

About 3 to 4 months ago, I posted about my failed fish project here. Last month, I was at a nearby plant nursery and there were bottles of Siamese Fighting Fishes on the rack, selling at MYR 3.50 each (approx. 0.88 USD). I bought a fiery red coloured fish and named it Fiery Flame.

I am considering a bigger home for Fiery or April Flame. (Initially I wanted to name it April Flame). Or whether I should get Fiery Flame a partner too. For the time being, Fiery Flame looks happy in its new home. Below are the photos I have taken of Fiery Flame, showing off its beauty. If you are interested, you can find out more about Betta fishes at bettafish.org.

Today I am joining Wordless Wednesday!
