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.

Home Made Pickled Mangoes.

One particular morning at the recreational park, I took this picture of the sky on the west. This reflection of the sunrise could easily be mistaken for a sunrise.

After breakfast, a friend came over to my house to pass me some green unripe mangoes.

The first thing that came to my mind was pickled mangoes!

A very simple home made pickled mango recipe.
First, I peeled off the skin from the washed mangoes.

I halved the young mangoes, discard the seeds and sliced the mangoes.

I add white sugar to the mango slices. I cut a packet of salted "assam boi" into pieces and added to the mango slices.

Then I packed them into smaller plastic tubs. The texture of the mangoes very crunchy and is not sour. These pickled mangoes make appetizing snacks and they are very addictive too. Talking about the pickled mangoes or looking at this picture makes me salivate.

And there will be no night there- no need for lamps or sun-

for the Lord God will be their light; and they shall reign forever and ever.
