Qur'an 20211204

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

38.  Say to the unbelievers, if they desist their past would be forgiven them, but if they persist the punishment of those before them is all ready.

39.  And fight them on until there is no more tumult and oppression, and there prevails justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere.  But if they cease, verily Allah does see all that they do.

The Spoils of War 8:38-39

Princess

 Oh Natty, that's precisely why they're jealous of you!  Oh Honey, you're caught in a feedback loop!  You poor, precious princess.  And you're so pretty!  I just want to take care of you.  Don't worry about a thing Honey, everything is going to work out absolutely fabulous for us inshaAllah.  It is December, huh?  We will come together, Natty.  I won't abandon you, inshaAllah.  Please be patient and pray.  Ya Allah, please protect my Natty.

Are you hungry?  I was so pleased with my ramen this afternoon.  I wish I could have shared it with you.  I didn't take any snapshots of it.  Like I said before, I don't want people selling ¥1,000,000 bowls of Zam-style ramen.  But if you folks want to try selling your own ¥1,000,000 bowls of ramen, here's a recipe from YouTube:
Oh dear, I don't use pork.  I used just one chunk of beef shoulder bone.  I boiled it with some fresh ginger from my yard on Wednesday, along with a spice pack like this:
It's actually a generic pack around here, and I reuse it.  I put the soup in the cooler when it was done to be used on Friday.  Whoops!  I forgot to put salt!  No big deal, on Friday I fried up some garlic and potato slices then added the soup back in.  I used the seasoning packet from a pack of ramen for the salt.  Then I heat it up, and add tofu strips, Vietnamese coriander leaves, a little more beef chunks from my latest batch of roast beef, and some fish cake.  When it was hot enough, I put the ramen brick in.  Just long enough to soften up a little, then I moved the noodles into my soup bowl to rest on a little soy sauce, and I cracked an egg over it.  I poured the hot soup in while taking care not to break the yolk, then topped it of with dried fried onions, salted radish, and home made hot sauce.  That's a good batch of hot sauce I made today alhamdulillah.  I used lots of pickled soybeans.  I nearly choked the blender, it was so thick.  Come share my ramen with me, Natty!
