Chicken Herbal Soup & Fried Rice For Dinner

Time really flies. Even though we are under MCO, the days, weeks, and months seems to pass by so quickly. Even though there is nothing exciting happening, I wouldn't say that life is boring for us. Every morning we look forward to our morning walk. After breakfast, I will spend some time in the garden. Housework, blogging and blog hopping, and etc. will take up a portion of my time. The amount of tasks accomplished will depend on my mood. It all depends on whether I am diligent or in lazy mode. Okay, back to my post.

We need to take the car out because we want to buy takeaway breakfast with the food carrier.

Both the noodles were bought from the same stall.

 4 pieces of yam bean fritters @ 90 cents per piece.

We bought these from another shop.

We kept these for our lunch.

When it comes to food, so thankful that we are spoiled for choice.

Dinner

Herbal chicken soup

Ingredients used: 1 free range chicken, yuk chuk (Solomon's seal), goji berries, and red dates.

Fried Rice with onions, dried shrimps, and eggs.

I don't have leftover rice in the fridge so I pre-steamed the rice in the afternoon.

I love fried rice with chilies in soy sauce.

Because of his kindness,

you have been saved through trusting Christ.

And even trusting is not of yourselves;

it too is a gift from God.

Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done,

so none of us can take any credit for it.

(Ephesians 2:8-9, The Living Bible-TLB)

Sambal Prawns + Potato, Steamed Corn With Butter + Salt

It was another warm and humid day. We started out on our morning walk.

Facing the Kledang Hill. Looks hazy.

We stopped to buy breakfast from the usual roadside stall. We have tried the sambal chicken drumstick, so this time we tried the sambal prawns.

We bought some fresh corn. I removed the kernel from the cobs.

After steaming, I stirred in some butter and salt to taste.

Steamed corn kernel for lunch.

Green brinjals and snake beans harvested from my garden to cook for dinner.

Received some black vinegar pork trotter from neighbour. I boiled 1 salted egg and placed it on the pork trotter to avoid washing an extra plate. Lazy me!

Simple yet enjoyable dinner with steamed rice.

A friend was looking for Chinese chives.

I had 4 pots in my garden so I blessed her with 1 pot. 

Your throne is founded on two strong pillars -

the one is Justice and the other Righteousness.

Mercy and Truth walk before you as your attendants.

Blessed are those who hear the joyful blast of the trumpet,

for they shall walk in the light of your presence.

(Psalm 89:14-15, The Living Bible-TLB)

My Simple Home Cooked Dinner.

There was one afternoon when I felt like cooking dinner. I went to the fridge and took out whatever I could find. There was meat, tomatoes, a Japanese cucumber, a sweet corn and some potatoes. I defrosted the meat, seasoned it with salt and pepper & lots of chopped garlic and left it in the fridge until it was time to cook dinner.

 This was my simple home cooked dinner for 2.

 I found a can of mushroom soup, just nice for 2 bowls.

 Pan fried Pork Chop seasoned with pepper, salt and lots of chopped garlic. The meat was tender and flavourful but without any sauce.

 Cut one big tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and half a Japanese cucumber. The other half of cucumber kept for me to munch later on.

 Steamed sweet corn. We love steamed sweet corn!

 Cooked potatoes sprinkled with some pepper.

 And I used this sesame sauce as salad sauce or dipping sauce.

It is near expiry date, so I need to finish it fast.

Love this sesame sauce recommended by a friend.

But this precious treasure - this light and power

that now shine within us - is held in a perishable container,

that is, in our weak bodies.

Everyone can see that the glorious power within

must be from God and is not our own.
