Peeling the aloe

Due to the recent leftovers crisis, I'm going to have to implement a martial law "one day window" on all leftovers.  Namely that we use up all leftovers within one day, then we throw it away regardless of how it looks, tastes or smells.  Even though I had to eat garbage for the sake of the music, I am not going to allow my wives and kids to be subjected to that.  Let's keep the food fresh, Honey.  Now with prepared foods, it's a bit trickier.  I will be preparing large portions of certain types of foods like marinara sauce and curry to keep in the freezer, so you can just defrost it then heat it up and feed the kids.  So we're going to have to use our senses to gauge when it's time to throw that stuff away.  But it's clear that you will have to do some cooking to feed your children, because I can't do all the cooking, because I have other work to do.  So please use whatever free time you have to learn how to cook.

Eat aloe vera gel to heal an upset stomach!  Great for nausea and food poisoning, very effective.  Here's my personal aloe patch:

Each aloe "leaf" has a curved side and a flat side:

You peel the curved side with a potato peeler from the tip downwards:

Then you cut off chunks of the gel into a cup:

Add sweet tea, stir it up, then slam the whole thing down on an empty stomach.  Very tasty, goes down really easily.

 

 

 

No appetite

We don't really know each other, do we?  Love is truly blind.  How are you, anyway?  Whether you are standing on top of the mountain or down in the pits working, please take good care of yourself and eat properly.  Eat properly!  The recent episode with leftovers cost me my appetite.  Could it be that God is being nice to me, and telling me in not so many words to step up in food and start throwing things away?  Last night I had white rice with beef and broccoli in soy sauce.  Simple, and I was able to stomach the whole thing.  Lunch today was tofu scrambled eggs with tortillas.  Bland, and too much food.  I threw some of it away.  All I had for dinner was a bowl of ramen.  That's all I want, is ramen.  No snacks, no dessert, just a bowl of ramen.  Hey if this keeps up, I'm going to be thinner than any of you.

 

 

 

Hi Honey

How are you today, my love?  I hope you're taking good care of yourself if you are busy.  We do want to be busy somewhat- although it may seem nice to be on a permanent vacation, some of us work so that others can make a living.  I guess that's part of what being a human being is about, to be useful to society.  I'm writing this letter a little earlier than usual, because I need to waste some time.  It's the night market today, and my Mom wants me to buy some "pasembor" for her. which is like a mixed meat and veggie in a sweet savory sauce concoction.  A local cuisine.  Not my taste, personally.  Actually my stomach isn't happy with me for stretching leftovers, but what to do?  I don't believe in waste, and if it smells and tastes OK, then we have to trust our senses and decide that it is OK.  So the wisdom here is that our senses can be wrong, even the senses of sensitive people like us.  If it is God's plan to test us, then we will be tested.

 

 

 

 

 

You got me on that one

Your spy network is quite powerful.  I had always anticipated that, but some things you never get used to.  At least you should be confident and assured that I don't slut around.  I woke up this morning feeling awful, but I grit my teeth and pushed on with the day.  The show must go on!  I did my workout as usual, and in the evening I cut the grass around my grandparents' grave.  Wow, the grass is long there (thigh high), and the graves unkempt except my grandparents.  And right now I feel OK.

 

 

 

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

It's my parents' 57th anniversary.  I love you Mom and Dad.

Hi Erin Darling!  I know you're super busy, so please take good care of yourself, get plenty of rest, and eat adequately.  I'm doing OK here, just taking it one day at a time as usual.  I've been keeping my coffee in a deep saucer filled with water, and moving it from place to place to keep it away from the ants.  But the ants keep on tracking it down, then they walk on water to commit suicide in my coffee.  I have no choice but to keep my coffee in the cooler then heat it up when I need it.

Natty Honey, you're so pretty!  I want to pin you down and kiss you, then...  You don't look anything like your Elite Model Search video.  You did a lot of growing up in one year.

 

 

Oh, you don't like this outfit?  I kinda like it...

Halal beef sausage

I need to remind you to please stay away from drugs and alcohol.  I know you are an adult and you can legally drink if you want, but please abstain from drugs and alcohol.  Life in the Public Eye is pressure enough, so please do not increase that pressure by intoxicating yourself.  Perhaps you are feeling doubt about a decision, so go ahead and make a decision about that decision then stick to it.  Getting plastered is not going to numb you, rather you will increase in doubt and you will feel worse.  I for one will not marry a drug addict or alcoholic.

No I'm not talking about you, Erin Darling.  How are you, my love?  I know you are hot property right now, but please take time for yourself to relax and enjoy your success, and the beautiful things you have earned.  You deserve it.  You are beautiful, and I love you.

I'm not talking about you either, Natty Honey.  Say, if you want to be on my TV station then have your bosses upload videos of you to YouTube under your name.  How my TV station works is, like I have no privacy right?  But even though I appear to be a lunatic, I don't do a lot of talking to myself.  So all the crowd hears most of the time is what's on my TV.  MashaAllah, it's a global patronage!

Since I have all that marinara sauce, then it's time to make my halal beef sausage.  The recipe is secret to the public, of course.  I'm sure you know that people kill each other in Chicago over sausage?  The snapshot below is missing a crucial ingredient.

Dinner was fried rice with broccoli and fish cake.  A huge helping.  Want some?

 

 

 

 

Won tons!

Hi Erin Darling!  How are you today, my beautiful soul?  Your appearance on the Dan Patrick show came up during my voice training today, I thought it would be a great time for a rerun.  You didn't think so at the time, but it should be clear to you now how you, Mrs. Global, intimidated those poor guys.  But you're just a sweetheart!  I'm not like you, Honey.  I get grumpy when I have to do house cleaning or worse, extra house cleaning.  Too much labor in the morning affects my singing too, so I had a rough day today voice training.  Then the ants got into my coffee.  I keep my coffee in a middle of a deep saucer full of water, and the ants walked on the water to get at my coffee.  Humph.

Oh Natty Honey, I recognize that exercise!  Erin did that on a workout video for Victoria's Secret VSX Train Like An Angel.  The things I remember... but I have it on my TV station.  That's a good idea though, so I added it to my workout routine.  Did you see?  Huh!?  Huh!?  Did you see?  Did you see?


Stuffed won tons is such girlie food.  Like sushi rolls, you eat one portion at a time, with such daintiness and little fuss and mess.  I could eat 100 in a sitting, and I would feel awful later, but they are oh so yummy!  I only made 55 today, and I gave 10 to my parents.  You would love this stuff.  It's seriously delicious.
