Letter to Julia 20130605

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

Hello Julia, my love.  And how are you today?  I went to buy some beef this morning.  They had clams on sale for RM5 a kilo, so I bought a kilo.  I'm sorry, but I love to eat clams.  So I had clams for lunch.  Just a kilo of clams, that's all.  I saved the broth for dinner.  I cooked it up with rice and bamboo shoots.  You know, the very tips of the shoots go great with soups, because they unravel into flat noodle-like strips.  Bat Cat has suddenly become a mackerel gourmet, and only eats the heads and tails of the fish, so I have to eat the rest.  I put that in my soup, for a man-sized meal.  Oh, I'm so full.
