Dress modestly, and lower your gaze

Hi Erin.  Do you want to share my dinner with me?  I'm having steamed rice with chicken wings cooked in a peanut, hot pepper, and anchovy sauce (my Mom would flip if she knew exactly what it is), with fresh tomatoes.  I've really been into fresh tomatoes lately.  When I was a kid, I hated fresh tomatoes but nowadays I can't get enough of them.  I had ramen for lunch though, because I needed to give a ramen cooking lesson.  Oh, you have must have your expensive packaged meal.  Princess.  And that you are, my dearest.  I could charge big bucks though for my dinner.  Except that I have to eat it.

Natty, I'm starting to guess where your train of thought is going.  You want to become a lawyer, and help your brother.  That's my guess, Honey.  Let me know if I'm wrong, OK?  There's much more going on in the field of entertainment than what is legal, that's for sure.  Stick close to me and listen to what I tell you Natty.  InshaAllah, I can help you and your brother.

Pina, God is telling me by inspiration that I must help you, but I get so frustrated when you don't do as I tell you.  The first thing that I have to say is that you must get out of NYC and go back to the Netherlands!  You don't have to live a difficult life!  It will cost you your beauty!  When you see the wealth of NYC, it belongs to the wealthy and no one else.  NYC does not get its sustenance from NYC but from the rest of the USA and the world.  Including you.  But now you don't have anything to give, it will eat you up.  The only advantage you have is your Instagram and your connection with me.  By the Will of Allah.  So use your Instagram and show me and the world what NYC is doing to you.  And get the hell out of there.

I want you, you, and you to dress modestly and to lower your gaze.  Don't flirt, it is too dangerous for you now.  Wear T-shirts instead of tank tops.

My Mom complained the other day that my ramen noodles in soup is too complex.  Yeah, ramen is supposed to be poor man's food.  So here I have a simplified version of my ramen noodles in soup.  Firstly, I put some of my home made hot sauce into hot water to strengthen the seasoning.

Then I add the seasoning packet.

Next I add ONE vegetable.  In this case I have lots of okra in my yard, so I use that.

Okra needs to be softened, so let it cook.

Now it's time for the noodle brick.

When the noodles are soft enough, add the egg.  Stir and break up the egg white.  Don't break the yolk!

Shut off the heat, and dump into a bowl.  Add garnish, in this case cilantro.

Looks pretty, huh?  It kind of alleviates the fact that you are so poor that you have to eat ramen.
