Letter to Erin 20150414

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

Hello, my beautiful Erin.  You are MY girl!  Mine, mine, MINE!  So please don't be blue, because the one I want to marry is you.

This time, it's ----'s turn to go into heat.  She's not a howler like ----.  Rather, she prefers to hang onto my foot wherever I go, so I would have a cat weight when I try to walk.  Which is not advisable, because my feet are injured, so my balance isn't perfect, and I might trip and accidentally squash her.  However, it is convenient to pet her with my foot, which is acceptable to her as well.  A cat in heat really appreciates being petted, but I'm afraid I can't sit there all day and pet her.  I wanna pet you!

I had a hankering for eggplant today, since the Iron Chef eggplant battle came up on TV while I was voice training.  So I bought a kilo of green eggplant at the night market.  I deep fried half of them, then arranged them neatly in a round baking pan.  Then I smothered them with my marinara sauce, and put cheese on top.  Then I baked it.  So for dinner is baked eggplant with marinara sauce and cheese, with sirloin steak on the side.  Oh, it's so yummy!  Alhamdulillah!  Would you like to join me for dinner, Sweetheart?  Munchkin?  Pudding Pie?  Oh, I have to eat alone?  Oh well, c'est la vie.  But I love you.  And I need you.

Qur'an 20150414

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

23.  That is whereof Allah gives glad tidings to God's servants who believe and do righteous deeds.  Say, "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin."  And if anyone earns any good, We shall give him an increase in good in respect thereof, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready To Appreciate.

The Consultation 42:23
