Letter to Erin 20160420

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

Now now there, you need to relax your heart.  Use your mind to relax your heart, what's the big rush anyway?  You need to learn how to waste time, just do things to waste time, and do it without drugs or alcohol.  How about a video game?  I like to shoot baskets on my cell phone to waste time.  How about playing the piano with only your left hand?  I would ask you to pray if you could be sincere, or pray to pass the time should be OK.  There's no need for despair.  Just let the time pass by.  There's no rush.  Everybody else is rushing around, but not you.

When my uncle came around a couple of days ago, we talked about our backs.  You know, back aches, lower back pain.  I told him that I like to sleep on the floor, because it's great for fixing back pain.  I like sleeping on the floor, it's a habit I'm actually quite reluctant to give up.  If you're lying on that nice, soft mattress, of course I'm going to climb up there and bounce around with you .  But eventually, I would slither back down on the floor... it's so much cooler down here.  Would you like to join me?

Lunch was fried stuffed won tons.  It's such girlie food, and so tasty!  To be enjoyed with my home made hot sauce, the same sauce I toss chicken wings in.  Today's flavor is calamari.  I also put garlic, tofu and julienned kaffir lime leaves in them.  I know you're going to love my fried won tons.  I also got 5 blocks of the best local fresh tofu.  Fresh tofu has a short life in the cooler, so I'll be eating only tofu dishes for the next few days.  Unless you like fermented tofu.  My approach to fresh tofu is to treat it like a staple, like rice, bread, or noodles without compromising its shape.  So for dinner, I had a block of fresh tofu swimming in a broth of ground beef, brown gravy, finely diced garlic, onions, and potatoes, with basil leaves.  Irish stew soup.  Thick but not too thick.  I'd share it with you!  I love you and I need you.
