Tuxedo

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope you are well, and having a great time.  We need to make a donation today OK?  Please make a donation in the name of Allah of a minimum of one US dollar to a worthwhile  charity.  Are you hungry?  Would you like some of my dinner?  I made fried flat noodles with chicken, it turned out successful.  But my pickled soybeans aren't ready yet.  Pickled soybeans are reday when they turn red, but I needed them for my stir fry!  So I had to use them.  I probably shouldn't have.  I used some local herbs for my stir fry called "daun kesum".  It's usually for fish broth, but it's so fragrant.  And it has a bit of a bite to it.

Oh, the good news is that the bamboo that I'm using for my wands is only superficially fractured!  As far as I can tell, the fracture isn't a deep gash, so these drumsticks might last a few decades inshaAllah.  I haven't cut in the hollow part yet, I don't dare to.  All I did today was portion the parts out, and it looks like I will be making 3 wands.  Hm, I only have 2 hands.  I had enough bamboo left over to make a staff.  It's a bit taller than me.  It looks like about your height, Natty.  I brought it inside the house, of course.
