Curry Noodle, Rolled Noodle, Pig's Stomach Soup

It looks like the rainy season is back. The weather is cooler now due to the heavy downpour but it also causes floods in the northern states. Recent report stated that 3 lives were lost and 3 more missing in the floods.

We waited till 7:15am for the drizzling to stop before setting out on our morning walk.

Sunrise at 7:17am

Birds flying in flocks.

We had clouding sky the whole day.

This is the first time since the full lockdown we ventured out to buy our favourite curry noodle in town. We love the thick creamy and tasty curry gravy. After buying the curry noodles, we stopped at the nearby market to buy some local fruits.

We bought 1 kilo of dokong for RM6.

Mangosteen was selling for RM4 per kilo, so I bought 4 kilos.

For lunch, hubby bought steamed rolled noodle with yam bean filling with curry gravy. He added fish balls and fish cake. My lunch consisted of little bits of this and that, just to clear the almost empty containers, have them washed and kept away.

For dinner, I boiled pig's stomach soup with raw ginkgo nuts, white peppercorns and onions. It was a no rice dinner, so we had 1 egg in each bowl. Actually, I wanted to use the last 2 eggs from the old stock before I buy more eggs to keep in the fridge.

These are pink balsam flowers and pink cockscomb flowers in front of my house. These are all self-propagated plants.

If you stay away from sin you will be like one of these dishes

made of purest gold - the very best in the house - so that

Christ himself can use you for his highest purposes.

(2 Timothy 2:21, The Living Bible-TLB)

Local Fruits, Home Grown Chives & Home Cooked Dinner

These days, we try to start our morning walk early. Being early encourages us to walk more because the air is cooler and there will be less people using the walking path.

 Another beautiful morning - 6:46 am

 Morning sky in front of my house - 7:50 am.

The durian season is almost coming to an end.

It is time to enjoy other local fruits that are in season.

 These are dokong, scientific name is Lansium domesticum. Underneath the skin, the translucent fruit is in segments. It is sweet and sourish. It is now selling at about 3 kilos for RM 10.

 These are mangosteen, scientific name Garcinia mangostana. Underneath the thick skin is the white fruit in segments. It has a sweet sourish taste. I bought these at 1 kilo for RM 4.

 These are seasonal fruits, usually only once or twice in a year.

I have 2 pots of chives growing in my garden.  A friend gave me the 1st pot. The chives in the 2nd pot was grown from seeds which I bought from the nursery.

 Harvested the above from my garden to cook for dinner.

One thing I like about growing chives is that, after harvesting the chives, it will grow back again as long as I didn't uproot them.

 Pan fried pork tenderloin slices pre-marinated with black pepper sauce.

 Blanched chives and pan fried purple brinjals (eggplants).

Garnished with garlic oil and soy sauce & oyster sauce.

Our home cooked dinner for 2 people.

We finished the left over curry beef and kept some remaining pork slices.

The pork slices make good sandwiches for our lunch.

Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.

And God has reserved for his children the priceless gift of eternal life;

it is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled,

beyong the reach of change and decay.

And God, in his mighty power, will make sure that you get there

safely to receive it because you are trusting him.

It will be yours in that coming last day for all to see.

(1 Peter 1:4-5, The Living Bible-TLB)
