I prefer to eat rice porridge when the weather is hot. When my father-in-law was with us, he will only eat porridge when he was not feeling well and that only for 1 or 2 days. By the 2nd day, he will complain that his legs felt weak and he needed to eat rice. Good thing, hubby doesn't feel that way and he does not mind eating porridge.
Most times, I will cook plain rice porridge. Other times, I will add meat, salted egg and century egg, or whatever is available. There are also times when I will add in rolled oats to the rice porridge if it is available. Here are 2 examples of our recent rice porridge dinners.
Dinner #1
Some home made pickled ginger and green chili.
Canned pickled lettuce.
Rice porridge with pre-marinated pork slices, century egg, salted egg, and ginger strips.
Home grown vegetable - baby choy sum.
Just plain blanched vegetable without any oil or sauce.
These days I use brown rice to boil porridge. I buy brown rice from the rice shop in my area. Recently, I asked a friend to help me buy a packet of brown rice from Sekinchan.
Dinner #2
Minced pork with sour belimbing buluh (picture below), chilies and onions.
Belimbing buluh fruits from a friend.
Plain brown rice porridge.
Sauteed home grown Green Amaranth with oil, garlic and salt.
Green Amaranth babies.
When I first planted this, I scattered too many seeds within a small plot.
Now I know better and I try to space out the seeds.

I received the following photos from a friend.
I searched the internet and I think this insect is the Callirhipis Cardwellensis beetle with Flabellate Antennae.
Insect photos credited to Shirley.
This beetle is new to me.
Have you come across this strange looking beetle before.
How could he?
For certainly he has never been one to know the Lord's thoughts,
or to discuss them with him, or to move the hands of God by prayer.
But, strange as it seems, we Christians actually do have within us
a portion of the very thoughts and mind of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 2:16, The Living Bible-TLB)
