Home Grown Veggies And Herbal Soup For Dinner

I am happy that I have cleared all the frozen foodstuff from my freezer and not my freezer is empty. I still have some instant noodles and canned food which I bought before MCO 2.0. For the past week, the Covid-19 cases have shot up in Ipoh and the cases seem to be all over the places. For everyone's safety, we have decided to stay home and avoid meeting up for meals with our friends for the time being.

The following are the dishes I cooked for dinner.

Home grown green brinjals and okra cooked with prawn paste, dried shrimps and chilies.
Blanched home grown sweet potato leaves and fresh abalone mushrooms, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.
I used the last packet of frozen pork rib and a packet of dried Chinese herbs to boil herbal soup. We had steamed rice with the above dishes for dinner.

I found the following critters in my garden.
This grasshopper was found hiding in the centre of a pineapple plant, hugging a young leaf.
This baby green grasshopper was found on the concrete pillar of my front gate.
And finally, saw this large grasshopper sitting on the okra leaf.
It was a temporary guest, stopping by for 2 days before it was gone.


"Do this instead - start at the foot;
and when your host sees you he will come and say,
'Friend, we have a better place than this for you!'
Thus you will be honored in front of all the other guests.
For everyone who tries to honor himself shall be humbled;
and he who humbles himself shall be honored."
(Luke 14:10-11, The Living Bible-TLB)

Taro & Pumpkin With Dried Shrimp & Herbal Soup

For the time being, I have regular supply of home grown vegetables but they are limited to what I have planted in my garden.

Long green okra.
Green eggplant/aubergine/brinjals.
Brazilian spinach.
Sweet potato leaves.
These were planted by hubby.
The purple hearts plant needed some trimming.
These cuttings were given to a friend.
~~~~~
Simple home cooking for dinner.
I took out some frozen pork ribs to thaw.
Herbal soup: Pork ribs with a packet of dried Chinese herbs.
I have been craving for taro. Bought a small taro and half pumpkin from the morning road side stall. Cook taro, pumpkin with dried shrimp and garlic, and at the end added the spring onion.
Our simple home cooked dinner without rice.
We each had a bowl of soup and we shared the taro + pumpkin dish.

They worshiped together at the Temple each day,
met in homes for the Lord's Supper,
and shared their meals with great joy and generosity -
(Acts 2:46, The Living Bible-TLB)
