Simple Western Style Breakfast & Pig's Stomach Soup

This was on a Saturday. The night before, the weather forecast showed that there was possibility of a morning shower.

Morning sky at 6:45am.

There was not even a slight shower but the morning sky was gloomy.

Morning sky with pink cloud at 7:05am, taken on our morning walk.

Clear blue sky at 7:45am.

By 8:08am, the sky turned dark.

We stopped at a roadside stall to buy some snacks.

I bought "nam yee" and "tau sar" biscuits.

Breakfast

We bought this luncheon meat with bacon for the 1st MCO.

I pan fried the luncheon meat, 4 eggs and heated up the baked beans.

After making the hot drinks, I toasted the bread.

Milo for hubby and coffee for me.

Purple and red bougainvillea in my front garden.

Dinner

I boiled pig's stomach soup with crushed white peppercorns, ginkgo nuts, onions and soft bone pork. This soup is good for keeping our tummies and bodies warm.

Sauteed sweet potato leaves with garlic and salt to taste.

I heated up some frozen sambal anchovis. Cut home grown green chilies with soy sauce as dipping sauce.

Satisfying dinner for 2 people on a cool evening.

Here is another piece of mural or wall art from the wall surrounding a nearby Chinese school.

You are my hiding place from every storm of life;

you even keep me from getting into trouble!

You surround me with songs of victory.

I will instruct you (says the Lord) and

guide you along the best pathway for your life;

I will advise you and watch your progress.

(Psalm 32:7-8, The Living Bible-TLB)

Western Style Breakfast & 5 Treasures Rice Porridge For Dinner

This is 4th of June, last day of EMCO for Ipoh. We are eagerly looking forward to the 5th of June to resume our morning walk.

For a change, we had Western style breakfast.

1 fried egg, baked beans, 2 pieces of bread and a hot drink.

5 Treasures Rice Porridge for dinner.

Ingredients used: Roast pork with bones, salted eggs, century eggs, chopped ginger and pickled lettuce.

Blanched home grown Brazilian Spinach, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Hubby and my neighbour said that this is the best porridge they have ever tasted.

This is one of the 3 pots of Purple Hearts in my garden.

I caught sight of this bee sucking nectar from the flower.

Even though I was holding my hand phone near, it didn't disturb the bee.

It was too busy concentrating on what it was doing.

After taking these snapshots, the bees was still busy at work on that flower.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

We are merely moving shadows,

and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.

We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.

(Psalm 39:6, New Living Translation-NLT)

Baked Beans And Vegetable Soup For Dinner

I actually have to redo this post because I accidentally removed the whole post and couldn't undo all that have been deleted. No one to blame except my own carelessness when I was trying to get accustomed to the new blogger setting/format.

This was our yesterday's breakfast - glutinous rice dumplings that I re-steamed.

Yes, I remember sharing a bigger than palm size yellow hibiscus in yesterday's post. This is a slightly smaller one but it is also bigger than my palm.

Simple homecooked dinner

I had home visitation to attend to in the afternoon, so in case that I returned home late, I boiled soup before I went out. Took out whatever were in the fridge and found the bitter gourd harvested the day before and a Chinese Mustard bought from the supermarket.

Ingredients for the soup: Pork ribs, bitter gourd, Chinese mustard, carrot, red dates and goji berries.

I have baked beans bought before the MCO (movement control order). I used a tin of baked beans, 2 eggs, 3 remaining pieces of ham, and some snake long beans harvested from my garden to cook the above dish.

We each had a bowl of soup and a plate of baked beans for dinner.

Our simple home cooked dinner without any steamed rice.

An antique jukebox found in one of the cafes I visited in Ipoh old town.

Linking to Happy Tuesday, Image-in-ing & Tuesday's Treasures.

Look here, you who say,

"Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town

and will stay there a year.

We will do business there and make a profit."

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow?

Your life is like the morning fog - it's here a little while, then it's gone.

What you ought to say is,

"If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that."

(James 4:13-15, New Living Translation-NLT)
