Hot sauce

 

Of course I look forward to hearing your latest project.  It sounds mellow as I hope your heart is, and I'm sure it be absolutely fantastic.

I spent last night in the kitchen, listening to your debut album and making sauces.  I have little time to cook during the day, because I've become slower and busier.  So I just cook rice, bread or noodles with meats and veggies plus a quick sauce.  Last night I made pasta sauce and 2 hot sauces: a chilli garlic and "sambal tumis" (blended chillies, onions and fermented shrimp paste fried until saturated).  The pasta sauce was basically the hot sauce base plus fresh tomatoes.  I have to make my own hot sauce because I have a sensitive stomach.  So you should be able to stomach my hot sauce, too.  Mold is a major hassle in the tropics, but I think I found a way to suppress it from my sauces inshaAllah.  I sure hope so, because I made a lot and I only have a small freezer.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

154.  After that of the distress, God sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred with anxiety by their own feelings moved by wrong suspicions of Allah due to ignorance.  They said, "What affair is this of ours?"  Say, "Indeed this affair is wholly Allah's".  They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to you.  They say, "If we had had anything to do with this affair, we should not have been in the slaughter here".  Say, "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death".  But that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts, for Allah knows well the secrets of your hearts.
