Letter to Erin 20151017

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

Hi Erin!  How's it going today, Sweetie?  I love you lots!  And I need you.  I hope you are eating properly, and getting enough rest.  Please look after yourself, since I'm not there to feed you OK?

Since I had all that mackerel, of course I made another batch of fish curry.  Alhamdulillah it turned out great today.  What's my fish curry recipe?  I don't know!  I don't have a recipe!  Besides, there must be a million recipes for fish curry out there, so people don't need mine.  I just try to follow my Mom's recipe somewhat.  She makes the bestest fish curry.  Plus I don't have the right ingredients, plus she never told me all the ingredients and measurements, plus I had this stuff that I had to use up.  Thus I flew by the seat of my pants as usual.  Story of my life.  There is no such thing as control.  The best we can do is to run towards Allah.  But my fish curry turned out great alhamdulillah.  Just remember to put the fish in last and not to overcook the fish, or it will disintegrate into the broth and make an unpalatable mess.
