Home Grown Veggie & Left Over Duck With Yam For Dinner.

Lately, we are getting more rain and the weather is much cooler. The air conditioners can take a rest as it is enough to rely on the fan for us to sleep comfortably at night.

Sunrise at 7:00 am.

Morning sky at 10:45 am

I had a very relaxed day and I took out my patchwork project which has been neglected for a long time. I collected all the bits and pieces of left over cloth, cut and sewed them together to make blankets for my family.

For dinner, I had some left over chicken with yam from the previous day's dinner. So I only need to add a plate of veggie.

I blanched broccoli which I bought from the supermarket, some okra and long beans from my own garden. Served the veggie with garlic oil and light soy sauce.

Reheated chicken stewed with taro or yam.

Yellow and green croton plants when placed in semi shade.

The leaves turned more yellow when exposed to more sunlight.

One of my Begonia plants.

Found this fluffy feather on an eggplant leaf.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust."

Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

(Psalm 91:1-4, New International Version-NIV)

Home Cooked Stewed Duck With Taro & Steamed Home Grown Eggplant.

We welcomed the rain and the weather here is now much cooler. The day started with a nice cool morning.

 Morning sky at 7:10 am with the moon over the Kledang Range.

*     *     *     *     *

That evening I did some home cooking with the other half of the frozen duck.

 This time, I stewed the duck with taro or yam, using my home grown ginger. It has been a long time since I last tasted this dish.

 Steamed eggplant or brinjals from my garden.

Served with garlic oil and oyster sauce.

 This was our home cooked dinner for 2 people.
Looks rather plain without any garnishing but our tummies are not complaining.

I was passing by a shop at the shopping mall and I saw this yellow sign below.

You're My Sunshine.

To all my dear ones. Family, friends and friends from the blogging world!

If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul.

But if your eye is clouded with evil thoughts and desires,

you are in deep spiritual darkness.

And oh, how deep that darkness can be!
