Hi Natty! How are you today, my darling? I hope you are being vigilant about guarding your health and safety during these pandemic times. I've been suffering eye strain lately. I love computer work, but my eyes can't seem to keep up with the workload. But I discovered recently that if I were to take a nap after I post this letter everyday (usually after the sunset prayer), I can work the rest of the night without my eyes having any trouble, or needing any of that eye ointment. It seems to be working for me, I don't know if would help anyone else, especially those who stay glued to the monitor without eating, sleeping, taking a shower or a dump. You have to take breaks, and give your computer a break too.
I'm not good with soybeans. My last attempts at making tofu and soy sauce were miserable failures. But I'm determined to master the soybean somehow, someway. Soybeans are almost as cheap as lentils here, so I went ahead and bought a kilo. Soybeans, being beans, are time consuming. First you have to soak them, only then can you cook them. And being beans, you have to slow cook them to death like chili. I didn't do that today, I just cooked them until they lost their snap, making them slightly easier to eat. I ate them with some of that slow cooked steak I made the other day, some dried onions and salt. The rest of the beans that I cooked, I salted them and put them in jars to ferment a little. This is going to take a while. I'm not good with soybeans, but I'm determined to get better.
