Flowers in my garden

Mmmm... that hummus makes my cooler smell so sweet.  It would make a great air freshener if it didn't go moldy.  Erin, did you buy gold bars for yourself like I asked you to?  It's not for short term profit honey.  It's to keep you afloat in case of a financial crisis in your country.  Plus it's better than cash or a savings account.

I have the same type of flowers growing in my garden year round, all wild.  Well, some vegetable flowers.  I thought you would like to see what's flowering right now Natty.

Piene, you're in Italy?  I read somewhere that the Mafia hold common businesses and positions in Italy nowadays.  Particularly, a piece I saw where they dump toxic waste in agricultural areas, because they own both I guess.  It's a shame, because a lot of good cheese comes from Italy.  Watch your tummy dear.  You should practice cooking.

Creativity with hummus

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling today, my beautiful Erin?  Staying warm?  It's definitely warm over here, and my a/c isn't working properly.  It cuts out when it gets too hot.  Sigh.  Have you ever eaten a a Greek restaurant, and had those stuffed grape leaves?  Do you know what I'm talking about?  Well, I thought I would experiment with hummus for lunch today.  The kale grows well in my garden, so I thought it would be great to stuff kale leaves with hummus and ground beef.  The result wasn't very photogenic, so I didn't take any snapshots of my lunch.  I think the mistake I made was to precook the hummus to dry it up, but that made it fall out of the rolls, and made the rolls unravel.  The flavor was a success, and a couple of the rolls turned out well.  I think I know what to do the next time to get a better result.

Hey Thrasher!  Have you been practicing your patience?  Mastering this skill will make you feel better more than ever before, I promise.  And remember that true patience is from God.  I'm sure your lockout ended soon after you posted about it.  No, it's no coincidence.  Not even the emotional swings are coincidence.  It's more like a Rube Goldberg machine.  One thing I have to tell you Nat, is that you look great as a pouty girl.  Very sexy.

Hello, my Darling

How are you today my beautiful Erin?  It's raining heavily right now, and the wind is howling.  I was about to do some yard work, but God gave me an excuse to be lazy.  Alhamdulillah.  I can't do anything outside while it's pouring like this.  There's nothing special on the menu either, just hummus and eggs for dinner.  I could cook up something fancier, but one thing you must know about kitchen economics Erin, is that food in the cooler must be rotated.  Leftovers and older food must be used up.  Sorry kids, nothing exciting today for dinner.  The Lord does not love those who waste.

How are you Natty?  Are those emotions calming down?  One would think that emotional swings come in cycles, but I don't know about that.  They come when they come.  I used to wish I had no emotions when I was younger, but I can't sing without them.  In fact, I sing best when I'm emotionally thrashed.  But I believe that it's more important to control one's emotions.  Patience.  If you don't feel absolutely great, then patience is the next best emotion.

Soup

Won tons and tofu in soup.  It wasn't enough food for me because I have a man-sized appetite, so after I ate all the won tons and tofu, I put it back on the fire and added noodles and an egg,  Good, though.  Alhamdulillah.  Want some?

Hi Natty, you dear little sweetheart!  How are you feeling?  Are you having fun, my dear?  You're such a beautiful girl.

Soup

Hey Erin my love, it's sweet of you to show me your palm.  The right palm is more important than the left palm in terms of spirituality.  I'm not going to show you my palms here in this public place.  When we are together inshaAllah, I will show you my palms.

How are you feeling Natty honey?  You poor precious beautiful girl.  Don't worry too much , Sweetie.  You have a great career, so please have fun at it OK?  Would you like to have some stuffed won tons?  It's delicious!

I haven't forgotten you Piene.  Please make sure you post often.
