I like this new routine

of posting when I feel like it.  The old routine of writing a long-winded letter daily was getting stale, don't you agree?  You know I check up on you several times a day, and this way I don't spend so much time composing letters, time I don't have during Ramadan.  This way is also more unpredictable.

My Mom gave me cake for her birthday!

My masterpiece today is chicken franks in bamboo shoot sauerkraut!  It tastes like hot dogs cooked in sauerkraut, but I'm so pleased with it!

Does it seem like to you that Antonia and her boyfriend are being held prisoner?
