Spaghetti sauce

Aw, what cute kitties!  You do know that cats can't eat human food, so that's why I don't just let Floofy eat what I eat.  I spent this morning making spaghetti sauce.  I usually make spaghetti sauce out of marinara sauce: just heat up the sauce and throw sausage or whatever in there.  When we're married inshaAllah, I'm going to have to make paint bucket sized batches of marinara sauce for your convenience.  I must have a thousand recipes of marinara sauce, so I must have a thousand recipes of spaghetti sauce.  Today I'm just making a huge batch of spaghetti sauce to last me the rest of the fasting month.  A quick meal, you know?  Just heat up, boil the pasta, and stuff my face.  Today I'm making a spicy version of spaghetti sauce, which seems to be my favorite nowadays.  I've been using tomato ketchup lately instead of tomato paste, puree or soup.  If you mix then marinade or cook the stuff long enough, the ketchupy taste goes away.  Plus it already has sugar in it.  Plus it's cheaper.  Plus if you blend it with fresh tomatoes, who can say that doesn't have tomatoes in it?  But the stores have been out of ketchup lately- the locals must be making tomato rice for Ramadan.  So I bought chilli sauce instead, which is chilli flavored ketchup.  So I blended that with tomatoes, rehydrated chilli peppers, garlic and fresh basil.  Then I cubed 10 onions and sweated them in the pot, added the blend and water then heated the sauce up.  When hot enough, I cubed more tomatoes to put in there plus the beef, in this case burgers which I tore off chunks with my fingers.  There's black pepper in there too.  All this without tasting it!  I guess this means I'll add the salt later.  Right now, it's bubbling away on my stove top.  It's a big batch, so I used a wok to cover the pot.

Hey Natty, you Rock and Roll Babe!  You are rocking the tunes!  You should let the world know what you're listening to.  Hey, it's good business.

Qur'an 20170618

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

59.  Say: "Praise be to Allah, and Peace on God's servants whom God has chosen.  Who's better?  Allah or the false gods they associate?"

60.  Or, who has created the heavens and the earth, and who sends you down rain from the sky?  Yes, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight.  It is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them.  God besides Allah?  No, they are a people who swerve from justice.

61.  Or, who has made the earth firm to live in, made rivers in its midst, set thereon mountains immovable, and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water?  God besides Allah?  No, most of them know not.

62.  Or, who listens to the distressed when it calls on God, who relieves its suffering, and makes you inheritors of the earth?  God besides Allah?  Little it is that you heed!

63.  Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before God's mercy?  God besides Allah?  High is Allah above what they associate with God!

64.  Or, who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth?  God besides Allah?  Say, "Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!"
