My Tomato Plants Are Fruiting

I sowed the leftover tomato seeds and then I transferred the seedlings into pots.

To save space, I planted 2 seedlings in each pot.

I have altogether 4 pots,

Happy to see tiny tomatoes even though there are not many.

I must remember to wrap the tomatoes to prevent pest from destroying them.

Patiently waiting to harvest this first fruit

I cooked something simple for dinner since we didn't want to eat rice.

Prawns and onion omelette.

Fried papadum.

Sambal belacan with lime juice.

Dinner without rice.

Before the mountains were created,

before the earth was formed,

you are God without beginning or end.

(Psalm 90:2, The Living Bible-TLB)

This was 2 Sundays ago. No morning walk because we were preparing to go to church.

I received the following photos from my friend, Aislynn.

Using Google Lens, this bug was identified as Batocera rubus.

Common names: White spotted Longhorn, Mango Longhorn, Rubber Root Borer.

It has long legs and very long horns, much longer than its body.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Shout to the LORD, all the earth;

break out in praise and sing for joy!

Sing your praise to the LORD with the harp,

with the harp and melodious song.

with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn.

Make a joyful symphony before the LORD, the King!

(Psalm 98:4-6, New Living Translation-NLT)

Eggs On Toast & Vegetable Curry With Crispy Papadum

First Thursday morning of the New Year 2022. 

The morning is nice and dry and we started our morning walk at 6:52am.

This was hubby with the red cap and a backpack, walking ahead of me. The backpack comes in handy in case I buy something.

Lovely pink and blue sky at 7:12am.

And trees.

~~~~~

Early morning breakfast at 7:40am.

Hubby ordered a plate of noodle (no photo) and some of the above fried stuffs.

I ordered eggs on toast (sweet bun) with a cup of coffee.

~~~~~

Home cooked dinner.

That morning I bought a packet of A1 (AK Koh) instant vegetable curry paste for RM4.70,

and a pack of Papadum for RM2.50.

(instant Indian black gram bean flour dough)

Home cooked vegetable curry.

Ingredients used: Instant curry paste, coconut milk (santan) 1 packet, home grown brinjals or eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, long beans, cauliflower, and some special tofu puffs given by a friend, brought back all the way from Bentong.

Took out a portion of vegetable curry for dinner and kept the rest in the fridge for another day.

Instead of rice or noodle, I fried half a packet of papadum to go with the curry.

This was our dinner on Thurday evening.

8 pieces of deep fried papadum with vegetable curry.

Pretty wasp moth in my garden.

Mating season

This snapshot was taken in the month of May.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

For in due season Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed

and only Almighty God, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

who alone can never die, who lives in light so terrible

that no human being can approach him.

No mere man has ever seen him nor ever will.

Unto him be honor and everlasting power

and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

(1 Timothy 6:15-16, The Living Bible-TLB)

Sunday Fellowship Lunch At Tandoori Grill, Ipoh.

Just after last Sunday's celebration ended, a church friend approached us to invite us out for lunch. It is not always possible for us to have lunch together because some have to provide transport for those without transport. And for last Sunday, my church friends were available and it was a wonderful chance to gather for lunch and fellowship.

The one who invited us for lunch is the youngest of the four of us. She wanted to give us a treat at Restoran Tandoori Grill as none of us has been there before.

The outside looks neat and clean. No problem with parking as we were the 1st customers for lunch.

I am always the one who is taking my own sweet time with my camera.

Some useful information, if you are interested.

More information to take note.

Address: 9, Jalan Chin Choon San, Greentown,

30450 Ipoh. Tel: 05-2535995

As we passed through the main doorway, we were greeted by this art piece.

We had the whole place to ourselves. Choosing a comfy table for 4 people.

Since we were the only customers, I took a few snapshots before the other customers came in.

Floral arrangement.

Framed art piece on the wall.

Another framed art piece.

A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,

but fools detest turning from evil.

(Proverbs 13:19, NIV)
