Steamed Pork Belly With Taro & Sweet Potato Leaves For Dinner

We started out on our morning walk at about 6:35am. We passed under a street light and I couldn't resist taking a snapshot of our shadows. At that hour, there was nothing interesting except our shadows.

We both carry a walking stick just so the stray dogs will leave us alone.
Morning sky at 7:10am.

We had a leaking rain gutter at our porch area and we were looking for a contractor to do the repair but many were not interested. Finally, we found someone willing.
The contractor and his worker dismantled the old metal rain gutter.
The old metal rain gutter was replaced by a pvc gutter pipe.
To keep the pipe in place, it was tied to the pillar next to it.
The hole was patched up with cement and a metal plate.
The pvc pipe will direct the rain water into the enclosed outlet drain below the ground.
The hole was also patched up with cement.
The work was completed in less than 2 hours. The worker was instructed by the contractor to return the next day to check for any leakage of water. On the 3rd day, the contractor came over to check on the finished work. Thank God for this responsible contractor and the job well done.

While the repair work was being carried out, I cut some sweet potato leaves to prepare for dinner.
Sauteed sweet potato leaves with prawn paste and chilies.
We also had steamed pork belly with taro (from frozen pack), steamed long beans with sambal, and steamed rice for dinner. Ready cooked food in frozen packs come in handy when we are lazy to cook from scratch.

O Lord, you are so good and kind, so ready to forgive,
so full of mercy for all who ask your aid.
(Psalm 86:5, The Living Bible-TLB)
