Letter to Erin 20160128

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

Hello Sweetheart!  Hi Cutie!  How's it going today?  Oh, business as usual?  Well, don't get too serious.  I love your smile.  Just make sure you take good care of yourself, eat properly and get enough rest.  You are beautiful.  I love you and I need you.

Nothing all that out of the ordinary going on here today.  It was nice and cool in the morning, with light rain.  I was about to go out, but I didn't want to get caught in a downpour while on my motorcycle.  I did make a quick run to the corner store, and pick up a large cabbage.  I was watching Iron Chef, and I saw them wrap things up in cabbage leaves like egg rolls, so I wanted to try that.  I had to boil each leaf lightly to loosen it up enough to roll.  I stuffed them with rice, egg, and fish.  The fish didn't match with the cabbage (I used scad), but otherwise the experiment was a success.  Scad is too strong tasting.  Next time I try this, I'll use a sweeter and milder seafood, like prawns or snapper.  Very filling, though.  I'm stuffed.  Ya Allah, thank You for the knowledge and the bounty that You have provided for me.

Qur'an 20160128

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

135.  They say, "Become Jews or Christians if you would be guided."  Say, "No!  The religion of Abraham the True. and he joined not gods with Allah."

136.  Say you, "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the descendants, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to prophets from their Lord: we make no difference between one and another of them, and we bow to Allah."

(The Heifer 2:135-136)
