Cheeseless pizza

Hi Erin!  Are you enjoying your family time?  Always take time to relax and enjoy life.  Do you think that being in the Public Eye means that you have to work all the time?  Just ignore the crowd, kick back, and enjoy life.  I love you.

Natty, I hope that the past couple of weeks have proven to you that you are MY family inshaAllah, and my family lives in the Public Eye.  This is great for your career and your bosses, so please enjoy your career, save your money, and don't waste it.

I had to log in 7 times in a row on Second Life this morning, finally I gave my pc a hard boot, and it worked properly, so I could work properly.  This means that my video card was clogged up with useless information, most likely planted there by someone.  I'm used to malicious intent and actions, but am I THAT pretty that they behave like that?

For lunch, I attended a banquet given by the local imam for the occasion of his son's circumcision.  Do you know what a circumcised penis is?  I should have taken photos, but I didn't bring my cell phone.  No, not of the circumcision but of the food.  For dinner, I made a cheeseless pizza.  This is because I didn't have any cheese.  Marinara sauce neither.  So for sauce, I used "sambal tumis" (a local onion-based hot sauce generally used with rice, anchovies, and egg) and the toppings were red onion, crunchy anchovies, and hummus.  Back during my pizza joint days, the ladies often ordered pizzas without cheese.  I wasn't trying to be dainty or gourmet or whatever.  I just didn't have any cheese.

Piene, are you hungry?  Want some cheeseless pizza?

Qur'an 20161126

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

26.  Allah does enlarge, or grant by measure, the sustenance to whom so God pleases.  Rejoice in the life of this world, but the life of this world is but little comfort in the Hereafter.

27.  The unbelievers say, "Why is not a Sign sent down to him from his Lord?"  Say, "Truly Allah leaves to stray whom God wills, but God guides to Godself those who turn to God in penitence."

The Thunder 13:26-27

Say hi to your family for me

Give them my best wishes, and let them know that I will have a ring for their beautiful daughter as soon as possible inshaAllah.  Do they know how crazy your life is?  I mean, do they REALLY know?  I don't explain much of my life to my parents.  I rely on Allah to show them.

Natty, are you having fun?  You have been such a tourist lately.  Protect your tummy OK?

Piene, are you having fun?

Happy Thanksgiving, Sweetheart

A thousand pins in my face would never make me as beautiful as you.  That is by far my most favorite photo of you, for the emotional quality.  Thank you for your love.

Ah Natty, I knew you would make it to China.  MashaAllah, I am well-known in China, and that means they also know that I'm interested in you as a wife.  Carry yourself like a queen, try to be halal, and have fun OK?

Piene, you look so grown-up now.  Very continental.

Ha ha Erin, very funny

I told you before that nobody likes Zam the puppy dog.  People prefer Zam the wolf.

Hey Natty, how's it going?  How's business?  Are you having fun, honey?

A flat pan is useful for making tortillas, quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches etc, and in this case, a home made pizza crust.

Qur'an 20161123

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

14.  For God is prayer in Truth.  Any others that they call upon besides God hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths, but it reaches them not, for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but wandering.

15.  Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah, with goodwill, or in spite of themselves.  So do their shadows, in the mornings and evenings.

16.  Say, "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?"  Say, "Allah."  Say, "Do you then take protectors other than God, such as have no power either for good, or for harm to themselves?"  Say, "Are the blind equal with those who see?  Or the depths of darkness equal with light?"  Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created as God has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar?  Say, "Allah is the Creator of all things.  God is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible."

It's been a cat poo kind of day

Hi Erin!  Nice jacket.  You are looking so beautiful.  You must be feeling great, because you always look your best when you feel great.  I can see you're moving up in the sports world.  Congratulations, honey.  Rake in those bucks, and buy those gold bars like I told you.  And practice cooking every day.  Remember what I told you: cook for your stomach first, flavor comes second.  Use a medium flame until you gain confidence.  I know you don't like your own cooking right now, but there is your goal: get to the point where you like your own cooking.  Throw dinner parties at your home with your friends.

Yesterday, I managed to get my air conditioner serviced at last.  A curious thing happened though.  I had just finished the Asr (late afternoon) prayer.  I pray right underneath the a/c.  Now the a/c is sparkling clean of course, it had just been serviced.  Right after I picked up my prayer rug, a piece of cat poo popped out of the a/c.  How did that get in there?  The a/c guys couldn't have put that in there, even if they wanted to.

Today, Floofy got some poop tangled up with the fur around her butt.  She's a long haired kitty, so she tried to drag her butt on the floor to wipe the poop off, which only tangled it up further.  I got some toilet paper to pull the poop off, but since it was right next to her butt hole, it was like pulling poop out of her butt.  Of course, she was struggling all this time.  So I slipped on a latex glove, took her to the bathroom, turned on the hose, and proceeded to yank out that tangled up poop with the help of the water.  Try doing that to a struggling cat: I needed an extra pair of hands.  After the ordeal was over, I wouldn't let her into my bedroom, so she spent an hour howling by my bedroom door.  Eventually she got all the poop out by herself.

Natty honey, are you counting your fingers again?  We're all waiting for something, dear.  I hope you will be patient and wait for me, while I get my shit together.  I know I'm slow, but everything could move at the speed of light at any time, if it be the Will of Allah.  So please be patient with me, and please enjoy your career in the meanwhile.  Learn how to cook.

You too, Piene.  Cook.
