Letter to Julia 20140419


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

Hi again, my beloved Julia and Erin!  How are you feeling today?  I pray you are both feeling fabulous.  I've been doing a lot of yard work and labor, so my body is sore as usual.

I pray your parents understand that this marriage is a Muslim marriage and situation.  Our children will be raised as Muslims.  The will learn to strictly guard their prayers, to be righteous and aware of the Hereafter, and to look after their parents when their parents become elderly, and not abandon them at a nursing home or force them to fend for themselves.  It's most important to me that they take care of their mother, because I love her, I love her.

For dinner is snapper and bamboo shoot stew.  It's the same snapper that I made sushi from, so there's not much meat left to enjoy.  But the taste is awesome.  I had to sieve the bones out in order to save the broth.  I can't understand the charm of eating fish heads, although many people and cats do.  Fish heads add powerful flavor to broth, though.  So tomorrow, I'll use this broth for my noodles.  Want some?
