Fried Rice, Steamed Okra & Figs From My Garden

Our day started with a beautiful morning. Sky shots taken on our morning walk.

That morning the above were harvest from my garden. These okra grow very fast.

This long green okra can grow to more than 1 foot long.

I steamed the harvest okra for dinner. Topped with crunchy chili and some soy sauce.

I heated up the leftover Szechuan preserved vegetable soup from the previous dinner.

Fried rice with Chinese sausage, dried shrimps, egg, onions, and salt to taste.

This was our simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.

Jordan Purple fig plants from my garden.

Sometimes the figs are placed far apart from each other.

Sometimes, they are placed very closed to one another.

If I am diligent in wrapping up the figs, I get to enjoy the figs.

Sorry birds, you can't have my figs.

You better go find some worms and insects and there are plenty in my garden.

When we ask the Lord's blessing upon our drinking from the cup of

wine at the Lord's Table, this means, doesn't it, that all who drink it

are sharing together the blessing of Christ's blood?

And when we break off pieces of the bread from the loaf

to eat there together, this shows that we are

sharing together in the benefits of his body.

(1 Corinthians 10:16, The Living Bible-TLB)

Baked Beans And Vegetable Soup For Dinner

I actually have to redo this post because I accidentally removed the whole post and couldn't undo all that have been deleted. No one to blame except my own carelessness when I was trying to get accustomed to the new blogger setting/format.

This was our yesterday's breakfast - glutinous rice dumplings that I re-steamed.

Yes, I remember sharing a bigger than palm size yellow hibiscus in yesterday's post. This is a slightly smaller one but it is also bigger than my palm.

Simple homecooked dinner

I had home visitation to attend to in the afternoon, so in case that I returned home late, I boiled soup before I went out. Took out whatever were in the fridge and found the bitter gourd harvested the day before and a Chinese Mustard bought from the supermarket.

Ingredients for the soup: Pork ribs, bitter gourd, Chinese mustard, carrot, red dates and goji berries.

I have baked beans bought before the MCO (movement control order). I used a tin of baked beans, 2 eggs, 3 remaining pieces of ham, and some snake long beans harvested from my garden to cook the above dish.

We each had a bowl of soup and a plate of baked beans for dinner.

Our simple home cooked dinner without any steamed rice.

Look here, you who say,

"Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town

and will stay there a year.

We will do business there and make a profit."

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow?

Your life is like the morning fog - it's here a little while, then it's gone.

What you ought to say is,

"If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that."

(James 4:13-15, New Living Translation-NLT)
