These anchovies were fried to be kept for another day's porridge but ended up on the table as well.

Dinner With Friends At Kedai Minuman Villa

We are now at 146th day of RMCO (recovery movement control order). When the situation begins to look good, new cases will appear and we don't know for how long we will have to observe the requirement of the sop. On our early morning walking rounds, we see used masks discarded everywhere especially on the roads and on the sides of the roads. This is unsightly and bad for the environment. This is why hubby and I have switched to the use of fabric masks which can be washed after every use.

For breakfast, we had takeaway fried economy fried rice vermicelli Indian style with lots of sweet and spicy sambal @ RM 2.00 per packet. Hubby had unsweetened black coffee and herbal tea for me.

As I was watering my plants, I noticed a wild mushroom all alone by itself. I didn't expect to see any wild mushroom as the current weather is warm about 30 to 33 deg Celsius.

~~~~~

We had the following for lunch. These were all from my fridge.

2 steamed pork buns given by our friend.

The above were leftover from previous day's dinner. To heat up the above, I used a nonstick frying pan.Since I was using the nonstick frying pan, I might as well fry the above remaining sweet meat. These can be eaten as a snack.

A simple lunch for 2 people. We kept the sweet meat to be eaten as snack.

My neighbour bought 2 combs of bananas last Sunday. She gave me a comb and kept one for herself. It has been more than a week and until now the 2 combs of bananas remained green. We will wait another week to see what happens.

Yes, we live under constant danger to our lives
because we serve the Lord,
but this gives us constant opportunities to show
forth the power of Jesus Christ within our dying bodies.

Monday's Mish Mash

Yesterday, we woke up to another rainy morning. Hearing the pitter patter of the rain on the awning rood, I went back to sleep and woke up about 7:30 am to prepare breakfast. Initially, I thought of just having bread but later remembered that there were leftover steamed pork ribs and pumpkin from the previous day's dinner.

Breakfast

Noodle with leftover steamed pork rib + Nescafe for hubby

Oat porridge with leftover pumpkin, walnuts and cranberry for me.

Tiny white flowers from a Daikon plant in my garden.

I harvested a pale green bitter gourd from my garden. It is about 6 inches long. Could this be a cross between the green and white bitter gourd plants which I planted side by side? I can see a tinge of yellow, a sign of ripening.

Mid morning sky, on my way out to the grocery store.

When I returned home, my neighbour gave me this papaya.

Dinner on a rainy day.

I checked the fridge to see what I have to clear. I took out an old cucumber to boil soup.

Old cucumber soup with pork ribs and carrot.

I pan fried half a packet of sweet meat.

Simple dinner with steamed rice, comforting on a cold and wet evening.

My bigger than palm size yellow hibiscus.

I took this snapshots under the midday sun.

He died under God's judgment against our sins so that

he could rescue us from constant falling into sin

and make us his very own people,

with cleansed hearts and real enthusiasm

for doing kind things for others.

(Titus 2:14, The Living Bible-TLB)

Prawn Noodles & Peanut Soup

I was not feeling sleepy so I continue to watch a Chinese comedy drama way past midnight. I woke up and missed the sunrise. I went out to sweep the porch area and watered my plants.

Bauhiana Kockiana blooms from my front garden.

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers!

Lots of flower buds waiting to bloom.

We drove to the pan mee shop in Menglembu but it was still closed.

So we drove on to another shop for prawn noodle. We took along our tiffin carriers to hold the noodles and soup separately

Hubby finished munching on 2 pieces in the car while I drove home.

Prawn noodle with the soup added.

Breakfast for 2 people.

Dinner

The day before the MCO started, hubby picked up the above packet of minced meat from the Farmers Fresh shop. I didn't know what to expect. I opened the packet, took out 10 pieces to pan fry.

Hubby took a piece to taste and he said it tasted like bbq Chinese sweet meat (bak kwa).

I boiled peanut soup with carrot, red dates, wolf berries, preserved turnip (tai tau choy) and chicken breast meat. I slow boiled the soup in a pressure cooker to soften the peanuts.

Simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.

Dessert: Sweet juicy pear.

Creamy white Gardenia flower with a nice fragrant from my garden.

I was queuing up in front of the mini market and this white pigeon landed a safe distance from me.

Looks like it was observing the queue.

It was looking from left to right and right to left.

Then it picked up a dried twig from the ground and flew off.

Linking to Saturday's Critters.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree:

As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out,

you know that summer is near.

Even so, when you see all these things,

you know that it is near, right at the door.

Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away

until all these things have happened.

Heave and earth will pass away,

but my words will never pass away.

(Matthew 24:32-35, New International Version-NIV)
