Coconut as staple food?

Hi Honey!  What's for lunch?  I had coconut cream of chicken soup for lunch today.  Yeah, my Mom really loves baby coconut juice as you may know, so yesterday I harvested one of the trees over at your house inshaAllah.  Harvesting coconuts is usually tough work- do you know how much each coconut weighs?  I definitely don't want them falling on my head.  But yesterday, my saw on a stick cut through the stem like a hot knife through butter, and the whole bunch fell straight down at once: 17 coconuts.  Now young coconuts have mostly juice and the older ones we harvest the meat, and these coconuts turned out to be mostly meat.  The meat is too soft to scrape, so I put the meat in the blender with some water, and produced coconut paste/puree.  My Mom gets excited about coconuts, but not necessarily in a positive way.  She only likes coconut juice and coconut milk (which is the meat strained into milk), and she doesn't want to accept my coconut blend as a thick coconut milk anymore.  But it took 7 coconuts to produce one jug of juice for her, and the rest is all meat!  What do I do with it?  I made coconut cream of chicken soup.  I had some chicken bones, so I put that into the coconut blend which was simmering with chopped garlic, butter, and finely diced potato.  I fished the bones out after a while, and picked off the meat to put back into the soup.  I ate the soup with chives and pepper.  It tasted exactly like cream of chicken soup but with the texture of rice porridge, except that the grains had the crunch similar to fresh carrots.  Oh, I should have taken a snapshot, but I was too busy eating it!  It really did look and taste good.  Very filling.

Natty, only the French would wear a dress like that.  Why didn't they give you a bra to wear with that type of dress?  It wouldn't be too out of place I think, especially if the bra was high quality.  It's undoubtedly pretty, but where would you wear a dress like that?  Oh yeah, in France.  But even French women are too modest to wear dresses like that in public without a bra.  Maybe a nude beach?  But you're not naked!  Without a bra, that dress is haute couture.

 

 

 

Qur'an 20170928

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

12.  Truly do you marvel, while they ridicule.

13.  And when they are admonished, pay no heed,

14.  And when they see a Sign, turn it into mockery,

15.  And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!"

16.  "What?  When we die, and become dust and bones, shall we be raised up?"

17.  "And also our fathers of old?"

18.  Say, "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."

19.  Then it will be a single cry, and behold, they will begin to to see!

20.  They will say, "Ah! Woe is us!  This is the Day of Judgment!"

21.  This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose Truth you denied!

Kittens!

Aw Erin, I love you.  I love you so very much.  It's been exciting for you recently, so please make sure you give your heart some relaxation time.  I'm kind of hurt that you would prefer to talk regularly to strange guys rather than me.  Am I so hard to talk to?  I can do most of the talking.  Perhaps meeting in Second Life is too much to ask, but I have to be there anyway.  I would give you my email, but I'm not going to post it on your Instagram.  I still get spied on, but at least it's not as public as a blog.  Meet me in SL, and I'll give you my email OK?

Natty, that does look rather French.  You must be super busy, so please make time to rest.  If you feel drowsy, take naps like I told you.  Just sit back somewhere (you would smudge your makeup if you put your head on the table), and close your eyes.  Don't try to sleep- go straight into a dream.

Pina, that's a nice sexy photo.  But real boys don't bother covering their chest like that...

Floofy darling offered me some very nice praise yesterday.  I was voice training, and she was sleeping away somewhere around my feet as usual.  Then she suddenly got up and went pawing away at the speaker, meowing and looking for kittens!  I knew she was looking for kittens, because she's had kittens before.  I was so pleased because she thought my voice sounded like a kitten!  Alhamdulillah.

 

 

 

Catch a cold?

It's supposed to get colder now, so please dress warm,  No more hanging out at the mall in a bikini.  I'm writing rather early today, I dunno it's just a go-with-the-flow kind of thing.  I got my morning chores done, and I cleaned out my house with the engine blower.  That's a handy tool.  I don't expect you would tolerate using that, but it definitely moves more dust than a vacuum cleaner, plus it takes less time which is great for a lazy butt like me.  I have a few errands to run.  I have to do some shopping for my Mom, then pick up a prayer schedule over at the Mufti's (he's the boss Islamic official) office.  Back in the old days, people would look at the position of the sun to know the prayer time, but nowadays everything has been calculated and computerized.  It was a slow day on Second Life yesterday.  Monday you know, but I hung around for a few hours like I'm supposed to.  Oh, I found a use for that failed lentil chili!  Add enough anchovy bouillon and it becomes quite palatable, then I sauteed some chicken liver in butter then added it to the lentils and ate it with fresh tortillas, and it turned out to be delicious!  What an unexpected turn of events.   Well, I'm going to take a shower.  You have a great day, OK?

 

 

 

Life in the Public Eye

Oh dearest, that poor sod seems to be madly in love with you, huh?  And who can blame him, you're so beautiful.  That's what it appears to be, so I'm going to have to take things at face value.  He seems like an intelligent and educated person, and that you have known and communicated with him for a while already.  So you feel sorry for him?  That's just who you are, you're too nice.

Let me tell you a story about old friends who change.  I used to know this guy (let's call him "Pizza Guy") when I was younger, he was intelligent and educated and we were friends, we used to hang out a lot, I used to bum rides home from him, and so forth.  One Halloween, I was out on a date (she's a pretty blonde, of course).  Back then I still looked good in a dress, so I was wearing this purple and cream suit which was a favorite of mine.  We went to a club, and Pizza Guy happened to be there at the club as well.  He joined us at our table, and we all yakked about nothing in particular.  Then out of the blue he said to me, "I want to kill you" in front of my date, several times.  I guess we're not friends anymore.

Remember that snapshot of the river I showed you?  It wasn't black, it was mud- slinging mud.  So I want you to stop communicating with that hohmoon37 guy.  Let him know that he must stop contacting you, or he will be reported to the police.  If you choose to continue talking with that guy, then you will give the impression that you have chosen to marry him (whether you want to or not) to me, your bosses and most importantly, to him.  Yes Honey, marriage is a serious business.  If you choose to marry him, then you do business with him.

Natty, my parents are old.  I must do my best to take care of them, even though I have no money.  I am not doing this for selfish reasons, but to please Allah and set up a balance (commonly known as karma), so that my children will take care of their mother when she gets old.  So please be patient, mature, and understanding about this matter.  By the way, that is beautiful fabric and a beautiful outfit you're wearing from Dolce and Gabbana.  I've always liked their stuff.  I've noticed that you are carrying more name brands this year than media pets Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid combined.  They probably just got greedy, and demanded more money.  You're on the right track, Natty honey!  Enjoy your career, and hang on to yourself!

Pina, that's quite an old fashioned outfit you're wearing.  Like out of the Victorian era.  You're not even showing much leg, like that girl next to you.

What I wore yesterday was almost haute couture.  I don't know, it just happened.  Or it could even be just plain skanky.

 

 

 

 

Qur'an 20170925

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful

75.  They have not the power to help them, but they will be brought up as a troop.

76.  Let not their speech then grieve you.  Verily, We know what they hide as well as what they disclose.

77.  Does not man see that it is We who created him from sperm?  Yet behold!  He is an open adversary!

78.  And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own creation.  He says, "Who can give life to bones, and decomposed ones?"

79.  Say, "God will give them life, Who created them the first time!  For God is well-versed in every kind of creation!"

The clique

Hello there, my most beautiful Erin!  How are you feeling today, my darling?  I hope you are feeling and doing absolutely great.  I just got done having lunch after cleaning my mother's bedroom.  It is Sunday morning after all, and I always clean my mother's bedroom on Sunday morning.  My Mom made me some fried noodles for lunch, also I refried the hummus I used to stuff the fish yesterday.  I don't think hummus and fish are a solid combination, but it was in my cooler and it needed to be used up, so I just went with the flow.  I am a "go-with-the-flow" kind of cook.  So please make sure you make me double check all leftovers in the cooler that I want to use up, because I don't like to waste anything.  OK Honey?  I love you!

Natty, did you get a chance to meet and talk with Naomi Campbell?  I'm guessing that you didn't, otherwise you would have reported it.  She stuck to her own clique, huh?  Well you are in a more exclusive clique, Natty dahlink- my immediate family inshaAllah.  And you're soooo pretty!  Enjoy the ride, Natty.  Now is the time, so have tons of fun and make tons of money.

Pina, that's a nice outfit.

I wanted to wear white and gold yesterday, but it occurred to me that I wore white and gold the day before without really realizing it.  I filed this outfit under white and gold, even though it's more white and pink and red and gold.
