Potato chips

 Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are staying calm, and keeping those raging emotions under control.  Don't worry my love, everything will turn out right for us inshaAllah.  I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart, and I will marry you inshaAllah.

This morning I took my Dad to the hospital.  Which left me little time and energy to do yard work in the evening.  I had to go to the convenience store.  Well we don't have convenience stores here in the village.  There are 24 hour convenience stores like the ones you would be familiar with but downtown, which makes them inconvenient.  Instead we are sundry shops here, which stock the basic necessities plus junk food.  These shops are privately owned and are open whenever they feel like it, which makes the inconvenient as well.  Sundry shops have come a long way since I was a kid.  Nowadays, they have coolers and sliced bread.  And that's what I got: sliced bread, a sweet roll and some crunchy curry snacks.  Dinner was curry pups and I had some potatoes left over, so I made potato chips.  Potato chips use up a lot of potatoes.  It's like a whole chicken of potatoes would produce a few feathers of potato chips.  I suppose that's an exaggeration, but from 4 potatoes I had a snack pack's worth of potato chips.  Nice and crunchy.  Salt and vinegar.  Want some?
