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

Yay!  Julia's team won!  WOO HOO!!!  Go team!  I love Julia.  She's so beautiful, and sexy.  So are you, Erin.  You are my wives, and I love you, I love you with all my heart.  And I need you, I need you.

I have some homework for you, Erin.  It will help pass the time until our wedding.  Please don't be melancholy, I'm not going to abandon either one of you, inshaAllah.  So please pray, and ask Allah to grant me wealth enough soon so I can give you a happy and secure married life.  Please understand that I must think of your well-being, so be patient.

Anyway, I want you to watch the Japanese version of Sailor Moon.  There are 5 seasons and 200 episodes of Sailor Moon, and I want you to watch them in sequence, but in this sequence: the first season first (also known as Sailor Moon), then the 3rd season (SMS), the 4th season (SMSS), the 5th season (SailorStars), and the 2nd season (SMR) last if you feel like it.  No, I'm not going to quiz you.  Sailor Moon is very surreal, and if you've already watched the entire series, then Erin is as psychic as me.  2 things you should remember: first, the comic book is different than the cartoon, but watch the cartoon first.  Second, ChibiUsa is a pagan.  Here, I posted the first episode for your convenience.  Take your time, don't rush.  If you can't find an episode, wait until you find it before you move on.  It will be inevitable that you will have the entire Sailor Moon community follow you around.  Julia, you can watch Sailor Moon too if you have the time.  Somehow I feel that you are going to be busier than ever.  Try to slow down, OK?

Wow... that home made mayo sure tastes good.  SubhanAllah!  It has the taste, texture, and appearance of cream cheese.  But it's not cream cheese, it's mayo.  Some people might guzzle the stuff in copious amounts because it's exactly like cream cheese, that they hurt their tummy.  Ahem.  But you've got to try some.  Fancy a steak and cheese sandwich?  Made with love for my Julia and Erin.  You are my beautiful and beloved wives.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.  I think I'll add more grease next time to make it mayoier.  Or is that more mayoer?

Actually, this morning's meal is sliced chicken breast sandwiches.  That home made mayo is pretty strong even though it tastes light, so go easy with it!  Chicken breast is best cooked evenly at low temperatures, so immersing them in something is the way to go.  I didn't have any sauces of any kind to immerse the chicken breast, so I just cooked it in butter in a covered pot.  Still slightly stringy, but not bad.  Cheese is not necessary for chicken sandwiches!  Just bread, mayo, pepper, onions and chicken.  The bread is soft today.  Would you care to join me?

It's the full moon already!  Ramadan is so busy for me.  I bust my butt from 3 am to 11 pm everyday.  But don't worry, I sleep in after dawn and often wake up late.  But it's not the sleeping hours nor the fasting that get to me: it's all the standing around I do.  I cook up a storm during Ramadan.  Plus, I still have to tend the yard.  Have you been fasting?  Good girls!  Oh, you've been dieting.  Well, please don't hide your Islam.  Your Islam will only make you more powerful, if it is sincere.  InshaAllah.  The Qur'an is not to distress you, but to admonish the faithful.

Erin, I hope you're not too uncomfortable being involuntarily immersed in international top fashion model politics.  Julia's used to it, in fact I think she enjoys it, but you're just too nice.  Maybe you're afraid of losing your friends, but then your true friends will never abandon you.  It's just part of being Mrs. Global.  And that's the key word: MRS.  Remember what I told you, if the crowd bugs you then say to them, "I'm his wife, inshaAllah", then send them my way.  I will refer them to Allah.  But really, I didn't do anything.  Allah does it all.  Julia and Erin, I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Hey Julia darling, isn't it supposed to be football season?  Sorry I'm missing the action, but I'm not much of a sports fan.  I only like ladies figure skating.  But I'm on Julia's side!  So is Erin!  Right, Erin darling?  Go team!  WOO HOO!!!  Who's winning?  Isn't supposed to be Brazil versus Germany?  It almost sounds like Victoria's Secret politics.  One can get confused though, with names like Bundchen and Zimmermann.  I'm on Julia's side!  So is Erin!  Right, Erin darling?  Go team!  WOO HOO!!!

I got tired of playing the mayonnaise game with people, so I started making my own.  Mayo is just equal parts egg whites and grease, plus salt.  Separating the egg whites is the tedious part.  Who knows which way the shell will crack, which influences the ease of juggling the yolk.  The grease of choice in Malaysia is palm oil.  My mayo came out fluffy and light, so it makes me think that the others use more grease than egg whites.  So my ranch dressing turned out awesome, but now I'm out of mayo.  Would you like a salad, Julia and Erin dearest?  How about a pizza?  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Hi again, my gorgeous and beloved wives.  Slick and sexy Julia, I adore your intensity.  Sweet and sensitive Erin, I adore your pure heart.  Of course I love you, I love you, and I need you, I need you.  How could I not?  You are the most beautiful girls in the world.  That's because you are MY girls.  MINE, MINE.

I've been doing so much cooking this Ramadan, and that's what's eating up most of my time.  Prepping more than cooking and eating.  Prepping seafood is very tedious.  Then portioning, marinading, and freezing meats.  Cooking is much cheaper than eating out: I eat what I feel like eating, it's better for my tummy, and I get larger portions.  But I've had some failures.  This year, crab has been bad for me.  I can't find king crab here, and anything else is too large for crispy fry, too small for anything else, and too expensive.  I found some small blue crab at the main market, but it was still too big.  The guy selling it again refused to take my money, and when I asked for something smaller, he laughed at me.  But it was too big.  I couldn't get it to crisp up properly, and it hurt my tummy.  And the sauce was too strong.  My experiment failed.  Sigh.  I warn you now my darling wives, that I like to experiment with food.  It makes life interesting.  But we can bag the experimentation if you want, and go to McDonald's.  They just opened one up here.  Fancy some rice gruel with chicken for RM3?  Betcha you can't find that at a US McDonald's.

74.  But how many generations before them have We destroyed, who were even better in equipment and in glitter to the eye?

75.  Say, "If any man go astray, the Most Gracious extends to them until, when they see the warning of Allah- either in punishment or in the Hour- they will at length realize who is worst in position, and weakest in forces."

Mary 19:74-75

Hello, my dearest Julia and Erin.  How are the most beautiful women in the world today?  Have you been fasting?  Today, I woke up at 3am to start preparing my predawn meal.  I've been spending most of my nights cooking.  This morning is steak and potatoes- rather basic, huh?  Anyway, as I was sipping my coffee, a flying bug bumped into me, rather an odd looking bug, different than the usual pests that swarm around the light above my stove top.  Then more and more bugs joined in, so I switched on the light in the living room t distract the bugs, and I started to cook in the dark.  When a huge swarm built up at the light, I realized that they were bees.  At 3am!  So I turned on the light in the cage where I've been keeping Chee Cheah, and turned off the living room light.  I've had to put a restrictive collar on poor little Chee Cheah because she kept on gnawing at herself, then keep her in the cage where I used to store my motorcycle.  I let the cat loose so the bees wouldn't sting her.  When bees swarm aimlessly like that, it usually means the Queen is dead.  I felt sorry for the little things, when they started dying off.  I figured the bees would leave when daylight came, but I forgot to open the door to the cage, so I got stung on the head for being stupid.
