When it rains, it is nice and cool but when it doesn't rain, its warm and sweaty. We are finishing 8 weeks of MCO. We have 4 more weeks of Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) to follow until 9th June. Many have returned to work but life is not yet back to normal. We still have to observe social distancing, no meeting up with friends and no dining in restaurants. No shopping except for essentials.

I snapped myself out of lazy mode. I opened the fridge and did a stock check to see which items I need to clear. I took out the walnuts to roast in the oven to make healthy snack but I didn't like it. So together with the roasted peanuts, I made peanut walnut butter to spread on bread or cream crackers.

Linking to Happy Tuesday, Image-in-ing & Tuesday's Treasures.
The heartfelt counsel of a friend
is as sweet as perfume and incense.
Never abandon a friend - either yours or your father's.
When disaster strikes,
you won't have to ask your brother for assistance.
It's better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.
(Proverbs 27:9-10, New Living Translation-NLT)
