Qur'an 20171031

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

46.  Say, "O Allah!  Creator of the heavens and the earth!  Knower of all that is hidden and open!  It is You that will judge between Your servants in those matters about which they have differed."

47.  Even if the wrongdoers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the penalty on the Day of Judgement, but something will confront them from Allah which they could never have counted upon.

48.  For the evils of their deeds will confront them, and they will be encircled by that which they used to mock at.

The crowds 39:46-48

Fried chicken

Hi Honey!  Are you hungry?  Today's project is fried chicken.  I do know how to fry up my own chicken, but I'm so unmotivated to do so because it generates such a mess, and you can't reuse the oil.  Besides, everybody else on the planet makes fried chicken.  I used to walk into KFC in the States and ask them, "I would like to have 2 breasts, please".  That joke is lost in translation here, and today I bought 3 breasts from the 3 separate local vendors at the night market down the street.  The last time I bought 3 breasts at KFC locally it cost me a little less than RM12, and that was a few years ago.  Today I spent RM12.20, and I think I got about the same amount of meat.
This one cost RM1.70.  I like this one the best because the flavor and crunch appeals to me the most, not to mention it's the cheapest.  They also have RM1 portions, which are smaller of course.
This one cost RM3.50.  There's more meat of course, and the batter is very well distributed throughout the chicken, making for a more absolute crunch.  Mild but good.
This RM7 portion clearly has the most amount of meat, but you get what you pay for.  In all fairness, they were about to cut it up and add more spices to it so it had more flavor coming, but I told them to pack it as it was.  It looks huge, but it's actually just a half rib that has been butterflied.
