So this month's project continues: Erin's food. Beginning with salad, the first hunt is for a name brand salad dressing. I went to a couple of supermarkets, and all I found was 1000 island dressing. Who can blame them, the locals don't eat salads. There is a bigger supermarket a little further drive away, and there I found salad cream. Imported salad cream. Yes, this stuff is actually made in the UK. I was chatting with others in the chat room about what products are still made in the UK. This particular dressing is one I remember from childhood, and I really like it.
Let's see, what's in it? Looks like it's mostly mustard and egg yolk mayo. They used rapeseed oil, which could be a factor. Different oils have different flavors, and I can't afford olive oil. But I could probably duplicate this. But not with rapeseed oil.
No Honey, I haven't made the salad yet. It took me a couple of days just to find an acceptable name brand dressing. Tomorrow I'll head out to the market to get some local greens inshaAllah. They had romaine and iceberg lettuce at the supermarket, but who wants that huh? Maybe next time.
Natty Honey, how are your midterms coming along? I hope you do great. What's your major by the way? You never told me. But let's get down to business. Did you see the movie I asked you to watch? Oh if you were busy with your exams, I understand. But please try to watch the movies I ask you to watch when I ask you to watch them. Unless of course YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT THE MOVIE BUSINESS. Next I want you to watch The Godfather part 2. It's not personal, Honey. It's strictly business.
I apologize for complaining about healthy food the other day. You look after your body, that's how you look great, because you eat healthy. I'm always making you mad at me, huh? I'm sorry. My parents are always mad at me too for some reason or another. Anyway, I've been searching around town for a name brand salad dressing, so I can begin the "Erin's food" project. I'm actually very serious about what you eat. This morning, Floofy didn't want to eat the rice and canned cat food mix I gave her, after taking a big like to it before. She wanted what the other cats were eating, you know the dry cat food pellets. I told her, "You can't eat that food Floofy, because it clogs you up. Do you remember what happened the last time? The vet wanted to cut you open to take the poop out! I had to beg him to try an enema first, and it was a miracle that the enema worked!" No response. Not even a meow. Maybe she wants to be like the others and eat what they eat, but the reason why I go through all the trouble to prepare rice and buy canned cat food is because I love her.
But when I went to the supermarket, the only dressing they had was 1000 island dressing. I think that stuff is gross! Isn't that a mix of ketchup and mustard? People put that on their salads? I wouldn't even dip my fries in that! I guess I'll to try another supermarket. The other supermarket didn't even have salad dressing. The locals don't eat salads- they like to eat rice with mixed entrees. Good thing I know how to make many salad dressings, but it costs lots of money to buy the several different components, and I end up with huge portions. Who's going to eat all that salad dressing? Not me. Plus I want to get a name brand dressing, so the corporations can go bananas over Erin's food.
Natty Honey, it's so good to see you again! Yes, you do look like you're back in school- there's no fashion business aura about that photo you posted. I hope you're having a great time, and doing well in school. You do need to collect and watch movies though. The next movie I want you to watch is the first Star Wars movie from 1977- "A New Hope".
Yes Honey, I did a lot of running around today. Well, not literally running using my feet. I ran a lot of errands. This morning I paid my power and water bills, had breakfast downtown, and bought breakfast for my parents. After voice training, I went and bought some dirt for my Mom then planted some roses for her. I don't why she wants to buy roses right now- there's been a lot of weather distortion lately, and it's killing the roses she already has. But, oh well. I had rice for dinner at Ina's. I don't like commute, but it's better than walking I guess. Someone please invent the teleporter! I can't run very well, so when we are married inshaAllah, I will be following your run on motorcycle. Then when you're done, we can go get ice cream or something.
I thought you were possibly back in school, Natty. Now that I think about it, you did mention last year that you were taking a year off, and now that year is up. I'm glad to see that it's been quiet for you. Nothing like studying to help get lots of sleep. I should have studied more. You do me proud, and be an A student. The world is at your feet Princess, and I am here for you.
Honey, you have got to try my curried liver chow mein. My fried noodles taste great cold, so they make great leftovers alhamdulillah. You can just grab a fork, and raid the fridge in the middle of the night, and I guarantee that you would go for my fried noodles and snarf them up cold. The noodles soak up all the sauce overnight, and makes it milder whereas it was quite spicy yesterday. Anyway, it's one more month until March, so my food project this next month is going to be Erin's food. Ugh, vegetables! Healthy food! Bleah! Zam has to eat too, you know! Plus the cost of fresh greens and fruit is not something I have ever budgeted for. Plus, dessert is a luxury to me. Excuses, excuses. I'll start off with a salad using name brand dressing, so I hope it doesn't cost too much per meal.
Aw Natty, of course I want to be with you when you go to the movies. But it is not to be right now, please understand this spiritual path. Which also includes your being a star, and I think this movies idea is going to work excellently inshaAllah, so please trust me and follow my lead. It's time for you to see as many movies as possible on your cell phone/laptop, and socially is when you dress up for the occasion, because this is a serious business. If your current group of friends don't want to dress up to watch movies with you, then I'm sure there are plenty of other people who would, you just need to find them. All eyes on you Natty at the movies, so dress up and walk like a model even to watch it in your living room. You beautiful star.
Hi Honey! What's going on, Precious? I hope everything is running smoothly for you and that you are keeping safe and healthy. It's muggy here right now, so I'm just trying to keep cool. I just had my dinner. I had some chicken liver when I processed the chicken I bought a couple of days ago. Do you eat liver? Well you should, it's high in iron and good for you. A chicken liver is pretty small, and there's not much there to make a full meal. I thought I would make liver and onions to eat with steamed rice, but the there's not enough liver. So I opted for fried noodles. I marinated the liver in curry powder and made curried chicken liver chow mein. The trouble is I had fried noodles already recently, so I'm all noodled out. It was tasty though. You want some? Oh, liver isn't Erin food? Is it?
Hey Natty Honey, I remember what happened the last time you got dressed up and went to the movies: you were the only one who dressed well, while your friends dressed blah. So you felt uncomfortable and out of place. Am I right? Well if you look at the movie stars, they usually shine over the people they are with. That's why they are called "stars". You have to get used to shining like a star is supposed to shine. No you don't have to act like a spoiled brat and throw food around, just dress beautifully and walk like a model when you go to the movies.
Hi Honey! How are you today? I pray you are doing just great, and everything is going smoothly for you. Oooh it was a hot day today, but it's cooled down a lot now. I did my usual Sunday chores, then I spent some time with my baby mango trees in the evening. "Why do I do these mango trees?" you may ask. It's an endorsement, Honey. Yes it is farming, but for me it's an endorsement. I don't think you would approve of what I had for dinner. I don't think it would be anything you would eat. But I like fried chicken, and what I like best about fried chicken is the skin. So when I processed chicken, I peeled off the skin and boiled it to make chicken broth. Then I tossed the cooked skin in flour, and fried it. So I guess it would be like fried pork rinds, except that it's fried chicken rinds. No, it's definitely not Erin food! Is it?
Natty honey! I think I've figured out a perfect hobby for you, which is also a diversement (diverse investment) from your modeling profession. I want you to collect and watch movies! I think I brought this up before, because I'm sure you want to be a movie star or something. Go and watch all sorts of movies, and make sure you dress up like a movie star, with the attitude and everything. Then collect movies and have movie watching parties, and dress up for it. Then watch all sorts of movies on your cell phone to pass the time. You can do this Natty! The results will be awesome inshaAllah! For a start, I want you to watch this movie: "Die Büchse der Pandora". Check out Lulu's attitude!
This dress is too slutty by itself, so I toned it down with underwear. Do you think it worked?
Hi Honey! How are you today? Are you basking in the limelight, or are you basking under the sun on a tropical beach? You beautiful, blessed love. Either way, I'm always with you. So keep heart, keep safe, and keep the faith. Busy day for me, started early and still going. I did manage to squeeze in a nap before voice training. I went to the market in the morning and bought a chicken, so I had to process that. Since I had fresh chicken flesh, I made chicken chow mein (which is fried noodles with chicken for those of you who don't know American). Delicious, alhamdulillah! Want some?
Hey Starlet! Or should I say Movie Star? Natty Honey, come and eat some fried noodles with me! It's a bit spicy, I hope your precious tummy can handle a bit of heat. Simple ingredients though, made from scratch (except the noodles of course). Hey don't you ever feel lonely, because I'm always with you and always think about you and I care deeply for you. You are a beautiful woman. Go watch a lot of movies, Natty. Dress to kill.
I got a visit from a lizard with a forked tail. What does it mean? A lying hypocrite!
I'm getting tired of dresses that are cut like this. Next time I put a dress like this on, I'm going to spice it up a little. This one didn't even fit properly, but I was short on time so I had to wear it and go.
