Letter to Erin 20160421

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

There there now, relax your heart and don't despair.  Learn how to waste time, don't be in a big rush like everyone else.  Eventually you will discover that they're in a big rush to catch up with you.  Get some hobbies, waste some time.  And do it without drugs and alcohol.

Yes Honey, I know that there is danger from people working above me.  It's been that way for decades already.  What's more dangerous is to let them work/walk all over me.  I need you to trust me, or better yet trust in Allah.  I keep asking you to pray, so please pray.  I need you to keep yourself safe.  Don't take any unnecessary risks.  And I need you to be loyal, if your love is true.  If you believe in our love.  I love you and I need you.

The corner grocer had some nice eggplant this morning, so I fried that up with onion to be enjoyed with a block of tofu.  Eggplant soaks up grease, then spits it out again, so controlling oil content is the trick to frying eggplant.  I wish I had marinara sauce but I was too lazy to make some, so I used ketchup instead.  I had to finish off the dough, so I made a tortilla, and enjoyed lunch with my Mom's "sambal belacan".  I was stuffed.  I think I made lunch for 4 people.  I was only able to eat 3/4 of it.  I think what was so filling was the combination of tofu and bread.  Dinner was fried stuffed won tons.  Those are so yummy.  I could eat 100 of them, but I only ate 31.
