What Recession?

Our own local Produce in the backyard of our Kitchen. I bought the seeds and the brigade planted it. A round Auburgine (Eggplant or Terong). It got me thinking about growing fruits and vegetables when I retired someday. Truly enjoy this local grown for our personal use. Saves money too. well... in a way it does :)



It's Organic and absolutely no Pesticide.

Stroganoff

Roast Potatoes

Boiled Carrot baton with tomato puree

Poached Egg noodle in Garlic Broth

ahh... Saute'ed French bean and Soya Bean. Soya has full of nutrients you needed in your body. We soaked them for 24 hours, making its cooking time reduced and well cooked. The little crunch adds flavour.

Grilled Beef Stroganoff. Made with homemade sour cream. Quite popular among them.
