Letter to Julia 20141029

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

Ugh... I still don't feel good.  I'm so dizzy and nauseous, I have stomach cramps, and my chest is so congested it almost feels like... pneumonia.  It's going away, slowly.  InshaAllah.  I just want to lie around and watch TV.

Sorry to moan about my sickness.  I bought some assorted crabs at the night market Monday.   Crab here is frustratingly small although plentiful, but not small enough to fry whole.  So I decided to take a different approach.  Most of the meat is in the body, so I separated the bodies and put them in the cooler.  I'm thinking crab nuggets rolled in hot wing sauce.  What do you think?  Which leaves the legs and claws, so I squeezed out the meat with a rolling pin.  There's quite a lot of meat if you're patient enough to extract it.  Looks like it's stuffed won tons with crab tomorrow.  Want some?  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20141029

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

65.  Say, "None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden.  Nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up."

66.  Still less can their knowledge comprehend the Hereafter.  No, they are in doubt and uncertainty thereat.  No, they are blind thereunto!

67.  The unbelievers say, "What!  When we become dust, we and our fathers, shall we really be raised?"

68.  "It is true we were promised this, we and our fathers before.  These are nothing but tales of the ancients."

69.  Say, "Go you through the earth, and see what has been the end of those guilty."

70.  But grieve not over them, nor distress yourself because of their plots.

71.  They also say, "When is this promise, if you are truthful?"

72.  Say, "It may be that some of the events which you wish to hasten may be in your pursuit!"

73.  But verily your Lord is full of grace to humans, yet most of them are ungrateful.

The Ants  27:65-73
