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

Ugh, I ate too much chili.  Too much of anything is too much (The Who).  I love chili, but I ate too much, plus tortillas.  So I woke up this morning feeling sick.  It's a good thing I didn't throw up, because that would have invalidated my fast.  Good chili, though.  Alhamdulillah.  But I'm not having it for dinner.  It's noodles instead.  Snapper roe in anchovy broth, with garlic, seaweed, roasted peppers and bamboo shoots.

And how are you today, my love?  How's life at the top?  I'm sure you are doing fine.  You're a very competent person with a good heart.  I want you to always know that I am with you.  I love you, and I need you.
