Qur'an 20200408

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

16.  Say, "Running away will not profit you if you are running away from death or slaughter, and even if, no more than a moment will you be allowed to enjoy!"

17.  Say, "Who is it that can screen you from Allah if it be God's wish to give you punishment or to give you mercy?"  Nor will they find for themselves, besides Allah, any protector or helper.

The Confederates 33:16-17

Coconut cream of chicken and eggplant curry soup

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  I hope everything is going great for you, and you are enjoying your own cooking.  I haven't been paying much attention to my own cooking lately.  Like I once mentioned, I just want to stuff my face and move on.  I am grateful that Allah granted me some knowledge of cooking.  Thus, I'm going for quick and easy fixes right now.

I came across some great coconut milk the other day.  It was so thick, it was almost like oobleck.  But it was pure coconut milk, so awesome.  I made some curry with it last night.  Just simple curry: blended onions, curry powder, a small chunk of "belacan" (fermented shrimp paste), water and salted fish with the super coconut milk.  It turned out so thick, and there was so much of it, that I had to freeze half of it for the next day.  Which is today, so I fried up some eggplant, mixed in the leftover curry (which was almost like oobleck), then diced up some cat food (chicken breast) and dumped it in there.  It ended up like super thick chicken and eggplant curry flavored chowder, which I ate with some pita bread.  I think it was a success, alhamdulillah.  Want some?  Oh, I ate it all!  Sorry, no snapshots!
