Early morning routine, chasing the sun up is one of passion when it comes to photography. Being photographer it's not easy, i will not stop taking photos until i got the right angles i wanted to. Every sunrise it gives positivity in life. Whatever happens, life must go on. Spread love and peace to everyone.

Our Petunia plants started to bloom. Look at these cute and unique flowers. We have two variants, the other colours, a shade of white and orange. Hopin they will sprout flowers soon. These plants are easy to manage and to propagate. Just cut any stem and plant anywhere, that's it, soon you have pretty flowers in your yard.

My sons craving for this tender creamy beef in mushroom sauce and mashed potato. I seldom cook this kind of recipe coz it's quite pricey the beef as well the ingredients. I am full today with this delectable recipe. Anyway, cheat day is normal and need to get up early tomorrow to burn some calories.

This is a typical viand in our country. We called it chicken Tinola.... a type of clear broth soup made with sliced chicken, liver or even gizzard, green papaya, chayote and moringa leaves. In this recipe i sauteed the onion, garlic, ginger and fish sauce. This is excellent source of protein that's why I recommend this recipe to sick person to strenghten their immune system.

My red sauce pasta, I used minced beef in this recipe or sometimes minced chicken. I added tinned corned beef to enhance the flavour. I always put flat parsely as garnishing and one of my favourite herbs. My son wanted to have cheese on his pasta. Let's eat noisers and enjoy my own version homemade pasta.

It's quite elusive this Lime butterfly that I captured in our yard. It flies from flowers to leaves until it rested for a minute. That's the time to capture it and i did with two images. I am satisfied coz it's not easy taking a photos with this kind if creature.

A gloomy Sunday Noise family. The weather is cool and sleepy right now. But my attention went to this little creature crawling on our yellow cosmos flower. Both subjects their colours look wondrous. This caterpillar is new to me and how i wish soon when it turns into butterfly the colours same like this.

First time to cook this recipe, chicken curry in red sauce. I used the red curry paste from abroad. We don't have coconut milk'/powder and evaporated milk in the pantry so i used creamer. The taste is quite good but still prefer to have the yellow curry powder with coconut milk.
@alsalwa
Everyday it's not easy to prepare meals for the family. And don't know what to cook.... chicken, meat, veggies or fish? Anyhow be thankful still manage to cook our foods. So our viand for today, I cooked marinated fried milkfish, have veggies just combined the long beans and squash. I sauteed in fish sauce with sliced chicken. The milkfish i bought is already deboned after being butterflied cut, this way it's easy to eat especially to kids.

It's nice to walk under the moonlight. After two turns walked at the park. I seated on the bench and looking this wonderful moon infront of me. As i wish have a cup of coffee and finger foods beside me. Wanna stay longer here and enjoy the night but I can't, i realized it's time to go home and my sons waiting for me.

This is the way i eat my boiled cassava. I usually put butter over it and sometimes sprinkled a little sugar. This time i matched it with hot dark cocoa. I am lazy to have cassava cake. Just thinking the preparation and cooking process. So it's better the easier, the boiled one.
@alsalwa
Delectable freshly picked locale peanuts that i bought in a farmer's market. I boiled them and sprinkled salt while boiling. These are healthier than those deep fried. Boiled peanuts is totally addictive but quite messy especially when toss the shells which can squirt out the water and also when bite into them to get the nut out.
@alsalwa
Macrophotography of Chinese hibiscus. I have to enjoy as soon as possible this beauty. As we all knew the freshness of this bloom will last only a day. I saw it blooming in the morning and surely at dusk will vanish this beauty of nature. How i wish can plant the new breed that their blooms will last three to five days.
@alsalwa
First time to cooked this recipe, Prawns and bottled gourd. I bought the bottled gourd in a mobile vendor that roaming in our area. I did an experiment with the subjects. And the result is success coz my sons they really liked it. A simple recipe and easy to cook. Sometimes you have to explore something, it's boring if you always keep on repeating the foods that you served on your family.

Took these images inside the school campus of my son after i retrieved the learning school modules. These are Jamaican cherries with their pretty blooms. The fruits not yet fully ripened. During playtime, kids usually eat it raw and considered ready to eat food. Locale fruits in our country and most kids loved these fruits for their sweet taste.
@alsalwa
Even i woke up late this morning, i was able to cooked on time this chicken rice porridge for our breakfast. Simple and easy to prepare this recipe as long you have the ingredients in your pantry. I used sticky rice and tried to sauteed the garlic, onion, ginger in sesame oil. I am right, the aroma of sesame oil is lingering in my noise. Have a great weekend, spread love and peace to everyone.
@alsalwa
An afternoon walk in the community, trying to glance the rice field nearby and do some photoshoots. But to my surprised no ricefield at all. Instead, i encountered goats on the fields. According to local here they are raising goats to produce milk and meat to sell for their family and to have income. Well, that's a good source of income, isn't it?
@alsalwa
A friend of mine gave to me these ready to eat Pineapple. He told me these are sweet and juicy and he's right. One of my favourite fruits but i can't eat much coz of too much sugar content. I think 1 or 2 slices would be enough for me and let my sons to consume them all. Immune system booster and there's a lot of health benefits you can get with this fruit.
@alsalwa
Happy Valentine's day everyone. Red rose flowers it symbolizes love and romance, that's why it's the most famous flower choice for this heart's day. It makes sense coz they have heavenly aroma and associated with beauty and passion. Just enjoy the day within your heart and that's the true love you can not deny.
@alsalwa
Red watermelon for Valentine's day. They said this kind of fruit is perfect for summer. I think watermelon is better anytime, any season. Helps you hydrated when you consume the fruit and packed with nutrients. I love eating this if it is cold.
@alsalwa
Sunrise is the best thing to happen in our daily life. Look at the images and people from walks of life have respective routine like doing exercise, going to the market or me having my morning walk. Whatever the sunshine it may bring, just go on and be positive.

Tuesday mung beans, usually in our country cook this recipe every Fridays but now i am breaking the stereotype. This is the simple process and less ingredients. The raw beans i cooked them thru pressure cooker and to save time as well. I just put cracklings and moringa leaves. Am looking for celery and tomatoes but no one in the pantry. Anyhow it's tasty and matched it with fried fish. I didn't include the fish in this post coz they aren't look presentable and quite…

The itchy caterpillar is crawling on our Vinca bloom. I transferred the creature after i captured it. I noticed the purple bloom it looks prettier with the caterpillar. I checked the flower and still in great shape. Be aware with this kind of caterpillar, the itchy hairs cause an allergic reaction in case you touched it accidentally.
@alsalwa
Simple fried tofu chillies soy dipping sauce. Tofu is an amazingly versatile that can be eaten, sweet, mild or even salty. This is healthy food that's why weekly have this on our table. My sons loved tofu with fried meat and i preferred just fried. The sauce i always mixed it with scallions and sesame oil for the Chinese aroma.
@alsalwa
What will you choose with these vinca flowers, the blooms with raindrops or don't have? These flowers are magnificent in any form or colours. Having a varities of vinca in our yard, their flowers are everywhere and hopin they will bloom simultaneously with their differents colours.

Fresh tomatoes and Veggies beef soup with Lima beans. This recipe is nutritious as we all knew lima beans are healthy. I bought the large one, and these are more starchy than those green/baby beans. I cooked them in pressure cooker together with the beef before i sauteed it in tomatoes, garlic and onions.
@alsalwa
Don't know what to do with our left over sweet potatoes. My son had an idea and he's craving for a long time deep fried caramelized sweet potato. Here it is and hopin they will like it. This is a common snack in our country especially in the afternoon. I soaked sweet potato wedges in cold water before frying to help the fries become crispy.
@alsalwa
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. This morning while watering our hibiscus plant, i was amazed to this tiny lady bug rested on hibiscus bulb. These are in a macro shots so that we can view it closer. Both subjects are alluring and nature's beauty is wondrous. The creature flew right away after i captured it.

Lime butterflies always visiting our flowers in the yard. One of their favourite blooms are the zinnia. The good thing is, the plants are have flowers most of the season. Thanks creature you we're able to strike a pause on my camera lens and i did it effortless thru macrophotography.
@alsalwa
Sweet and soury taste Pomelo, the colour itself you can tell it the fruit is juicy and luscious. One of my favourite fruits, if it's their season I always have this on our table. Rich in vitamin C and immune system booster. As i wish have a Pomelo tree in our yard.
@alsalwa
My neighbour's ramgoat dashalong flower. I was allured to this beauty, the white coloured on green nature background is really wondrous. As i noticed, the coloured five petaled flower is blossoming the whole year. The bloom remain open in one day only and not fragrant. But it adds beauty in any garden or park.
@alsalwa
This morning been to school and while heading home a mobile vendor selling seafoods crossed my way and asked if I want to buy baby prawns. I checked them and they're fresh. I bought 1/2 kilo. I made garlic prawn fritters with dipping white vinegar. Craving satisfied and am full.
@alsalwa
My breakfast, boiled cassava and hot milk cocoa. As usual i have butter on the side to match it to cassava and is a typical snack or breakfast in our country. Until now still lazy to make cassava cake. But for now have to enjoy first the boiled one.
@alsalwa

Usually the veggies i had in this recipe are squash, bitter gourd, eggplant, long beans and lady's finger. I sauteed the fresh tomatoes, shrimp paste and sliced chicken then combined all the ingredients.
@alsalwa

Famous in any occasions sulrely your guests will loved this unique dish. Got this photo from my phone gallery as i browsing what to post. I prepared and cooked this last Christmas.
@alsalwa

Go back to the subject, well as usual i always put sesame oil for this recipe. It makes me feel hungry with the aroma of the oil. Looking for quail eggs but can't find in the market.
@alsalwa
A blessed Sunday everyone. Morning sceneries at the oval where i used to walk every morning. I can relax here whenever seated under the decades old acacia trees, added the cool wind and birds chirping. The area it looks stunning with the coloured pavement. Before pandemic school activities are held here. Primary, secondary and senior high schools are just around the corner.
@alsalwa
Pretty purple florets of coleus plant. We have varities of coleus in our yard, and as day goes by I noticed whenever they have flowers all are same colour. The plants are alluring only when they are still young but when getting older, their beauties we're diminished.
@alsalwa
It's quite cool today and experienced light rain in our area. I decided to cooked Loofah gourd with chicken and a left over ham a day ago. I wanna match this with either fried chicken or fish but my sons told me this would be enough. We had a simple lunch and we're full.
