Qur'an 20210515

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

139.  Say, "Will you dispute with us about Allah, seeing that God is our Lord and your Lord, and we are responsible for our doings and you for yours, and that we are sincere in God?"

140.  Or do you say that Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the descendants were Jews or Christians?  Say, "Do you know better than Allah?"  And who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah?  But Allah is not unmindful of what you do.

(The Heifer 1:139-140)

More and less ketchup

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, my darling?  Google sent me the above video, and I immediately thought about you.  Please don't seek recreation from danger.  Please keep yourself safe and healthy, because I love you with all of my heart.

All the surplus food and cakes from the Eid has people riled up.  I'm sorry folks, but I'm not a trash can.  I can't just eat anything and everything, I'll get sick!  Now that I have become old, I prefer my own cooking.  I like fries, I ate fries pretty much every other day during Ramadan.  The trouble with being a fries connoisseur is that I have become sensitive to ketchup.  A 14oz squeeze bottle of Heinz ketchup is almost 30 bucks local currency here!  Yikes!  I found a different brand which is pretty close in flavor, and it comes in one kilo plastic bags.  The problem is once you open the bag, the stuff turns into laxative quickly.  Refrigerating it slows down the process, but I took my jar of ketchup out of the cooler to make way for a bottle of Coca Cola.  I thought it would last a couple of days until there was room, but I was wrong.  The ketchup totally ruined my fries lunch experience.  So I had to throw the stuff away.  So what do I do for ketchup now?  I don't want to go out and buy more while there are thugs on the road, besides the stores are still closed anyway.  I have a cheap bottle of chilli sauce which I bought by mistake, thinking it was soy sauce.  Chilli sauce here is chilli flavored ketchup, and I don't like the stuff.  But I guess I can't let it go to waste.
