Steamed Pork Rib With Taro For Dinner

After our early morning walk and breakfast, I usually start by sweeping the porch area before watering the plants in my garden.

I observed my Ixora plant is with buds and flowers.

Home cooked dinner (Day 1)

I almost forgot about the taro that was kept in the vegetable compartment. Fortunately, the taro was still in good condition. I was thinking of a simple recipe to cook the taro and I recalled a recipe for steaming pork ribs with taro.

First, I marinated the pork ribs with chopped ginger and garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt and sugar, cooking wine, and tapioca flour for a few hours in the fridge. I spread out the taro cubes evenly in a streaming plate and placed the marinated pork ribs and whatever marinate sauce on top of the taro cubes. Steam over medium fire for about 40 minutes or until cooked and the taro softened.

Rice porridge.

This was my simple home cooked dinner for 2 people.

It was an early dinner at about 6 pm. At about 8 pm, we met up with our friends and we went for a light supper.

We went to the nearest food court and ordered bbq stingray. I only remembered to take this snapshot and forgotten about the rojak (fruits salad).

I took a snapshot of the pigeons on the power cable on our morning walk.

Instead, feed your enemy if he is hungry.

If he is thirsty give him something to drink and

you will be "heaping coals of fire on his head."

In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself

for what he has done to you.

Simple Take Away Dinner & Pink Sunset

There was a slight drizzle when we woke up yesterday morning so have to forgo our morning walk. After breakfast, the drizzle stopped and I went out to sweep the driveway. 

White rain lilies blooming in front of my house.

These rain lilies usually appear during rainy seasons.

I was feeling some dryness in my throat and these chilled home made black herbal jelly or gui ling gao is good for soothing dry throat.

Take away dinner

Yesterday evening, I was feeling lazy and not in the mood to cook. Hubby went out with the stainless steel tiffin carriers or food containers and came back with the following dishes.

Stewed pork ribs with taro or yam in red fermented bean curd or nam yue.

Sweet sour Chinese mustard.

Fried fish.

The above 3 dishes including white rice for 2 persons cost RM16.50

After dinner, I went out to the front of my house and saw this hibiscus. Every day there are new hibiscus blooms but the flowers only last for a day. Took this snapshot in the evening light.

Pink sunset at 7:40 pm.

Hopefully, tomorrow we will have clear sky so that we can go for our morning walk.

Don't brag about your plans for tomorrow -

wait and see what happens.
