Letter to Julia 20130206

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi there, my beautiful Julia.  And how are you feeling today?  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident.  I made some spaghetti yesterday.  Wow, it's been years since I had spaghetti!  It still tastes like spaghetti.  Apparently spaghetti is en vogue with the locals now, so I made a batch and gave a sample to a family friend so she could figure out a recipe for her restaurant.  I also taught her how to handle pasta.  Isn't it amazing how we take some things for granted, which are craved by others?  A spaghetti dinner is so blah in the USA, but highly coveted here.  No, I'm not going into food business again, insyaAllah.  Would you like some spaghetti, my darling?  Tomato sauce?  Alfredo sauce?  Stuffed pasta?

My dearest heart, you are my wife, and thus you are me.  Please be sure to maintain your prayers.

Qur'an 20130206

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

1.  Say, "It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened.  They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful recital!'"

2.  It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join any with our Lord.

The Jinns 72:1-2
