In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Yay! My first eggplant and tomatoes are ready for harvest! Alhamdulillah! I grew those big, round type of eggplants, and I picked the first one today for dinner. And dinner tonight is eggplant and potato hash, with ground beef, garlic, onions, Thai peppers, cilantro seed, and salt and pepper. To be served with 2 nice and soft tortillas, one for you, and one for me. OK, I'll eat them both since you're not here. I grew the Thai peppers in my garden, too. I also have chives, mint, cilantro, and basil. Hmm, I should have put some of that in the hash. My first tomatoes are sooooo pretty. Nice and cute and red and ripe. You know how tomatoes grow in bunches like grapes, and my first bunch of tomatoes was a bunch of three. But one of them is still green. Why is that? What does it mean??!!
I guess I need to take the old weed whacker in for service. You know, I don't really like all this physical labor. But if I don't cut the grass then nobody would do it, and it would make me irresponsible, especially when your house inshaAllah is concerned. I would rather lie around all day and play video games. If I were pretty, I would rather shave my legs. But I'm not pretty, and I'm the only one tending the yard, so I have to cut the grass.
Are you feeling blue again, my dearest Erin? Please be optimistic, and pray. OK? Realists try to propound a very harsh and cynical world, but if you want to create a reality, then you would want to create a great one, right? So please be optimistic, and pray. Please know that I love you, and I need you. It's time for the sunset prayer now, and after that I'm going to enjoy some eggplant and potato hash. Would you like to join me for dinner?
