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

Hi there!  How's it going today?  Are you feeling OK?  How about you?  Are you doing OK?  Well, please make sure that you take good care of yourself.  Be safe, and stay healthy.  I love you and I need you.  Thank you for being so patient with me.

It's just another normal day for me.  I had to give my baby mangoes fertilizer today.  They're almost one year old.  Pure bred Harumanis take 8 years to bear fruit.  I'll raise them until they're 2 years old.  Then I'll see if anybody wants to buy them.  After my morning routine, I was ready to start lunch.  It's BBQ today!  This time it's fish.  My parents gave me a scad yesterday.  Thanks, Mom and Dad!  I'll have to admit that I don't have a permanent recipe for stuffing scad for grilling.  I have discovered that Tom Yam (Siamese tamarind based hour sour) paste goes great with this fish.  Today I thought I would mix that in with chopped garlic, tofu and fish balls.  It took a while to grill that fish because I had to do a little shopping, but it turned out pretty good.  My cats loved it, too.  In the evening, I worked on my tomatoes.  I also had to collect more tamarind for my Mom.  For dinner, I had to use up the rest of my sliced bread, so I cooked up cheeseburgers.  Good thing too, because it was going moldy.  I just cut the mold off, but I ate a little of it.  Antibiotics.  Now it's time to lay out my bed and set up for bass practice.
