In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Erin! My letter of the day before yesterday didn't post because of a Google error, so my letters are out of sequence. I'll have you know that I write to you everyday, so please don't be bummed out that I missed a day, because you mean the world to me. Of course anything can happen at anytime, but for now I promise you that I'll write everyday, because I love you, and I need you.
Chee Cheah went missing again for about a day. I think she's feeling guilty about all the damage she did to herself. Poor little kitty. She's an old kitty but I love her so much as I love all my kitties. I can't imagine my life without cats. She showed up after cats dinner while I was watering my eggplants, asking for food. So she was late for dinner, but she ate a lot of food. I groomed her a little after that, and she seems to be settling down again inshaAllah. But she must not take that collar off!
Yesterday wasn't a good day for cooking for me. I burned the sauce for my steak, and lunch was leftovers. It's not that I don't have better ingredients to prepare, but I don't want to waste these leftovers. Lunch today was simple: eggs and beans, because I had just cleaning my Mom's bedroom and I didn't have much time, energy or motivation to cook. Dinner was those curried potatoes I made the other day, with leftover slices of steak. Only single portions today, please forgive me. Are you trying your hand at cooking? You might as well pick up cooking as a new hobby. You can't expect me to do all the cooking, plus you might want to prepare something for your kids. Also mashaAllah, as my wife you are automatically a professional endorser of food products. Do some commercials for food service! Get paid.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Erin! How are you feeling today, Sweetheart? I pray you are feeling healthy and confident. You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me. I love you, and I need you.
For dinner tonight is cheeseburgers! I happened to be downtown this morning getting an appointment with the eye specialist for my Dad, so I bought a loaf of bread and some sliced cheese. Yeah I've had a craving for cheeseburgers lately, but tonight it's more a case of using up the lettuce and tomatoes, because they were wilting. I've had cheeseburgers for dinner 4 out of 5 nights. That's 8 cheeseburgers total. I couldn't possibly eat them all at once. That would make me sick.
So yeah, I need to work on your happiness. This evening I cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah. The rain was pelting down at 4 pm, and I didn't think I would get a chance to do any yard work. Then the sun suddenly came out, in a most surreal fashion. Yeah, I need to work on your happiness. It sucks that I don't have the cash to do it. Please be patient with me, and pray that Allah grants me what I need to give you a happy and secure marriage.

Chee Cheah finally showed her face to me after hiding for 2 days. I was watering my Mom's flowers when there she was, sitting casually behind me, licking away at herself. Oh my God, what a mess. She was almost bald all over, after having scratched and licked almost all her fur off. She couldn't have escaped her restraining collar by herself, otherwise she would have done so long ago. She's an old kitty, so I was worried. Cats leave home to die, unless of course they're trapped inside. Chee Cheah isn't an indoors cat. She has never treated the house with any respect. She's always been like that, it has nothing to do with being old, just ask my Mom. But she doesn't have to leave. because I love her. I will bury her when she dies, inshaAllah.
Dinner was steak and cheese sandwiches. It's not a cheeseburger, it's a steakburger! I burned the sauce, so it wasn't that great. I would share it with you, but I burned the sauce so I can't serve it to you. I'm sorry. I'll make it again properly. I need to buy more mushrooms. When I do, I'll make you one inshaAllah. I love you Erin, and I need you.

Hi Erin! How are you feeling right now, my love? I'm watching Iron Chef Potato battle right now. I had a whole lot of chicken curry leftover from the Eid, so I drained it and separated the chicken and potatoes from the gravy. Then I cubed up 5 more potatoes into the gravy, then stewed them up until almost soft. Then I strained the gravy again, then deep fried all the potatoes, french fry style. Awesome! I probably sprinkled on too much salt, but great anyway. Alhamdulillah! It was so good that I forgot my steak. But not for long. I'm starting to think that rib meat is superior to tenderloin. It's because of all that creamy fat. Oh my God! I have a small sauce pot with lid, so I pan fried the steak in my teriyaki sauce (light soy sauce, black pepper and sugar) and butter until medium rare, made sure all sides were equally blackened, turned off the heat, put the cover on and let it sit for half an hour. Oh my God! Alhamdulillah! I would have shared it with you, but you didn't show up for dinner. Besides, I guzzled it all down very quickly. I'm sorry. I do love you, and I need you.

Now don't get me wrong, my beloved. I appreciate your seriousness as much as your happiness. Marriage is a serious business, and I want you to be happy with me. It's sad that some people fall like toy soldiers, but I must work on your happiness first. This is because I love you, and I need you.
For dinner tonight is cheeseburgers. I'm sorry, but I have had a terrible craving for cheeseburgers lately. This time I have lettuce to go with it. I'm out of bread though, so unless I buy some bread tomorrow, I won't be having cheeseburgers again. Oh, I ate your portion. I hope you don't mind.
I haven't seen Chee Cheah since yesterday. The last I saw her, she was hanging out by the amra tree at the top of my driveway by your house inshaAllah. Today all I saw of her is her restraining collar right at the spot I last saw her. She couldn't have taken that collar off by herself, but if she did then she must be in hiding until she has had her fill of scratching herself to pieces. But she's an old kitty. Ya Allah, please protect and heal all my kitties.

Aw Erin, please don't be blue! My poor sweet Erin, please don't pout. I want you to be optimistic, because I love you so much. You are MY girl, and you mean the world to me. So cheer up little camper, OK? You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me. I love you, and I need you.
I'm having such a terrible craving for cheeseburgers! So I had cheeseburgers again for dinner, and now that I just ate, I want more cheeseburgers! What's wrong with me? Why do I want cheeseburgers? I went to the butcher this morning. I had the opportunity to buy tenderloin, but I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I love tenderloin and sirloin, but sometimes there's just not enough fat on the cut. The steer was big and fat, I could see that. But there wasn't enough fat on the tenderloin cut for me to grab that. So I bought rib meat instead. I thought about having steak and potatoes for dinner, but I got a craving for cheeseburgers instead. No you can't have my cheeseburger! Oh OK, you can. Wait, I ate it already!
I'll write again tomorrow inshaAllah. Meanwhile, please make a donation to a worthwhile charity of a minimum of one US dollar.

Wha... you're mad at me again? What did I do? I did catch that video of your doing that basketball jump. I think you are so beautiful and feminine, and I love you very much. And I need you.
For dinner today is cheeseburgers! I've had a craving for cheeseburgers. Burger buns are hard to find recently for whatever reason. Maybe the MacDonald's mob is putting the squeeze on burger bun makers. But I think sliced bread tastes better anyway. I'm not rationalizing, sliced bread does taste better! I made some mayo this morning. It's a good batch, nice and smooth. I also made hot sauce, great for dipping chicken nuggets, fried calamari, or stuffed won tons. I couldn't find any lettuce anywhere, well I was too lazy to go downtown, but the tomatoes were great. I did find some big, fat, and fresh cuttlefish. Such great looking squid, hardly any smell at all. I got 4 in a kilo, that will make some hefty fried calamari. Oh I'm sorry, but I ate your burger since you're not here. I'll probably make cheeseburgers again soon, so please make sure you show up for dinner.
