It is time to harvest some of the bitter lettuce leaves for dinner. This is the 1st time I have planted bitter lettuce and I don't know whether the leaves will be too old and fibrous.

Apple and pear soup.
This is my first time boiling this soup. I don't have dried figs so I used honey dates and goji berries, 1 big red apple and 1 pear. For meat, I used chicken breast meat. Hubby was having cough so this soup is good for him. I like this soup too, very soothing for the stomach.
Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.
It is good for workers to have an appetite;
an empty stomach drives them on.
(Proverbs 16:26, New Living Translation-NLT)
