Letter to Erin 20160212

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

Hello Peaches!  Hi Strawberries!  Are you hungry for sweets?  I'm sorry, I don't have any desserts right now.  I've been eating leftovers all day, and I just had some leftover curry puffs for dinner.  Hey, can't let them go to waste, right?  Maybe I'll go out for ice cream later, and you can share it with me.  OK?  I love you, and I need you.

There was recently a new opening of a supermarket around these here parts.  Perlis is still technically rural, so the opening of a large supermarket is big news with the locals.  It's nothing like the malls you and I are familiar with, but the building does house the supermarket plus a food court, some kiosks,  and some extra shops.  I was there this morning, and it was crowded.  There was a traffic jam going into the place. and the place has been open for a week already.  The locals sure are thrilled about it.  As for me, I did find some items I usually can't get locally.  So I bought a ceramic omelet pan, an avocado, and a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos.  The Doritos were made in Saudi Arabia.

Ach!  I just got back from an ice cream run, and they were out of the big tubs of vanilla ice cream!  All the big tubs were gone.  Everything that's left is chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.  I know you like chocolate, but I prefer vanilla.  But there wasn't anything vanilla left.  In the end, I bought a pomegranate ice cream bar.
