In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
91. When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us," yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say, "Why then have you slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if you did indeed believe?"
92. There came to you Moses with clarity, yet you worshiped the calf after that, and you did behave wrongfully.
93. And remember We took your Covenant and We raised above you of the Mountain: hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken. They said, "We hear and we disobey," and they had to drink into their hearts of the calf because of their faithlessness. Say, "Vile indeed are the behests of your faith, if you have any faith!"
94. Say, "If the last home with Allah be for you specially and not for anyone else, then seek you for death, if you are sincere."
95. But they will never seek for death, on account of that which their hands have sent on before them. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with the wrongdoers.
96. You will find them of all people, most greedy of life even more than the idolaters. Each one of them wishes he could be given a life of a thousand years, but the grant of such life will not save him from punishment, for Allah Sees Well all that they do.
97. Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel, for he brings down that to your heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe..."
98. Whoever is an enemy to Allah and God's angels and prophets, to Gabriel and Michael- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject faith.
(The Heifer 1:91-98)

The kitchen rules the day, again
Natty honey, you look totally awesome! Great hair. Great dress. Great shoes. Yes my beautiful darling, you look absolutely fantastic. Incidentally, it did rain here today. Right before voice training.
Wednesday is laundry day for me. But the kitchen rules the day. It began when I stuck my clothes in the washer at 8 am, my Mom bought me glutenous rice with salt fish from Embun's restaurant at the crossroads. I'm very fond of glutenous rice with salt fish, but only with fresh tomatoes, and since I had to go downtown anyway to pick up a prayer schedule (it was the Muslim new year yesterday), I decided to go to the market and get some tomatoes. I also bought a bunch of cilantro, and decided to make marinara sauce. When I got home, I blended up the marinara sauce, and also the coconut meat I harvested yesterday to make curry. They were young coconuts and I controlled the amount of water I put in the blender, so I ended up with a smooth paste. Sweet and thick, kind of like coconut flavored yogurt, but thicker. I made the curry in the evening, which turned out smooth and thick. It would have been totally sweet except for the chunk of salted fish I added for flavor. A total success. I also had some steak defrosting, so I cubed some of that up and marinated it to be used as steak, and I also chopped some up with a sharp knife to get some minced beef for my spaghetti sauce. I needed to make room in the freezer, so I pulled out some chicken wings and legs yesterday to defrost, and today I precooked that in BBQ sauce for BBQ sometime later. So for lunch, I had that glutenous rice with salt fish and fresh tomatoes, and for dinner it was fry bread with my super thick generic curry.
Suddenly I have a lot of food! Alhamdulillah. My fridge and freezer will be full! Today I made:
1. Marinara sauce
2. Curry
3. BBQ chicken
4. Marinated steak
plus I have that curry flavored beef from yesterday, and when I get back from the mosque later, I will have to freeze most of that curry, then make a batch of dough. So tomorrow's menu is BBQ chicken for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner. Would you care to join me? It's yummy!
