Qur'an 20230308

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

6.  Say, "I am but a man like you.  It is revealed to me by inspiration, that your God is One God, so stand true to God, and ask for God's forgiveness."  And woe to those who worship many gods.

7.  Those who practise not charity, and who even deny the hereafter.

8.  For those who believe and work deeds of righteousness is a reward that will never fail.

9.  Say, "Is it that you deny God Who created the earth in two days?  And do you join equals with God?  God is the Lord of the worlds."

Expounded 41:6-9

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are doing well, and having a great time.  Natty if you dreamed about being a movie star, then go ahead and be a movie star.  Do know that it's a lot of hard work and that I need you too.  If you didn't want me to need you, then please let me know OK!  I love you, Natty.

Sorry about the interruption in the streams during Mary's set today, folks.  Someone shut off the Internet to my ISP 45 minutes into the set.  But you die hard fans didn't miss a note, right?  Thank you for your love.

There's a day market every Tuesday a couple of miles from my house, and I went there first thing in the morning to get some stuff for my ramen.  I needed veggies and salted fish, and my budget was 10 bucks.  Someone was selling clams for 6 bucks a kilo, so I gave in and bought half a kilo.  It is ramen day, after all.  I left the market spending 11 bucks.  I haven't had clams in years, I think.  Perlis has muddy beaches, which is a treasure trove for shellfish and snails.  My stomach can't handle shellfish and snails though, because of the mud.  But it's ramen day, and I wanted clam broth for a change.  First thing to do is to scrub the clams.  Next is to steam them in a closed pot until they open up.  This generated about a cup of broth, my ramen soup is about 3 cups so I added water.   Also anchovy bouillon (because the clam juice got watered down) and a spoon of my fermented miso.  Deep flavor!  This made a creamy/clear broth.  I expected to get a good photo, but it wasn't photogenic for some reason.  So I went ahead and started to eat it, then I realized that I forgot to put the clams back in.  I already drank half the soup and ate all the carrots by then.  So what's the selling price of this bowl of ramen?  Well only ¥50000, since I forgot to put back the clams and it gave me the runs.
