In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi beloved Julia and Erin! How are you feeling today? My Mom gave me a blender recently. And what do you know, the light in my kitchen blacked out when I went to hook it up. I didn't even get a chance to plug it in. The starter for the fluorescent lamp died, so praise Allah I had a spare starter. But when I tried to take the old starter out, the casing came off, leaving the insides jammed into the fixture. So I had to climb up onto the counter top, dismantle the fixture so I could scrape out what was left of the starter with a screwdriver. All this while sweating profusely in the dark. The problem with having the body of a jock is that I sweat like a jock, and therefore smell like a jock. Oh! How I would love to have a nice dainty body like you, and smell like strawberries!
Anyway, baby squid was going for cheap over at the night market, so I bought a kilo. So today, I separated the heads from the bodies, then took out the ink sacs. Then I threw all the heads into the blender along with some garlic, onion, ginger, and an egg. Oh no, I forgot the lemongrass! No water, though. Squid has the same consistency as water (which is probably why it shrinks when you cook it, because you're evaporating all the water). I poured the mix into a bowl to add some flour, and made squid meatballs. The fluid in the eyes darkened the mix a bit. Next time, I'll use the bodies for meatballs and the heads for fried calamari. But it's not so bad as the stuff browns quickly and nicely when I fry it. Hey, that stuff is pretty good! Pink with a crispy brown shell! Praise Allah! I think I'll buy some wonton skins tomorrow, and make mixed stuffed wontons. You want some? Stuffed wontons are so dainty, I'm sure you would love them! You're so dainty. I love you!
Please maintain your prayers, and ask Allah to bring us together in marriage soon.
