HOT chili!

Hi Fabulous!  How are you feeling today, my beautiful princess?  I hope you are having a great time, and everything is going great for you.  Oh, those cowboy boots are gorgeous!  I like cowboy boots, especially if they are beautiful as the ones you are wearing.  A great pair of cowboy boots with a nice, feminine dress, and you can't go wrong.  I don't have a pair of Western boots in my inventory that's worth wearing, otherwise I would set it up as part of my outfit tomorrow.  But I'll take another look.

My batch of chili today turned out awesome!  I don't think you would be partial to chili, but if you are, this batch I made today is almost perfect, if not perfect.  It's super hot, but I and my stomach can handle it, which makes me feel that it could be hotter.  But it's so good... just dripping and oozing with sauce and flavor.  The thing that most people don't know, is that chili is a perfect match with steamed white rice.  That's what I had for lunch today.

How's your tummy?

Hi Natty honey!  How are you feeling today, my precious darling?  Is school going fine for you?  How's your tummy, by the way?  Oh dear, when I imposed "no spending" day on myself, I didn't mean that you had to go through it too.  I hope your cooler is full of delicious and nutritious goodies, if you had to eat out of it.  After all, it takes practice and experience to prepare food.  Plus, your budget isn't as bad as mine.  Has life gotten super exciting again?  It shouldn't be, if you're at school.  If your tummy is nervous, then please take time to relax plus eat only simple foods.  Don't worry Honey, everything will be just fine.  You have many people who love you and care for you.  I love you, because you are MY girl.  Today I spent money, having to buy stuff for my curry pups and chili.  Plus I had to get cat food.  I mix canned cat food with white rice for Floofy.  She won't accept large batches anymore, so now I have to make sure the rice is cooked as fresh as possible, and the leftover cat food is firmly frozen.  Sensitive tummies.  I have a very sensitive tummy too, but I cook for myself and it's rare that I stress out my tummy.  Today's curry pups were mild.  Normal.  Tomorrow's chili is going to be HOT.  InshaAllah.  I want it hot, it's not chili if it's not hot.  I'm going to have to make it very flavorful, so a little bit goes a long way.

I love today's outfit!  I think it's very sexy.  A combination that's gallant but feminine.  Spanish-like.  Do you agree?

Qur'an 20181003

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

189.  They ask you concerning the new moons.  Say, "They are but signs to mark fixed periods of time in men and for the Hajj."  It is no virtue if you enter your houses from the back: it is virtue if you fear God.  Enter houses through the proper doors, and fear Allah, that you may prosper.

(The Heifer 1:189)

"No spending" day

Hi Natty honey!  How are you today, my beautiful young lady?  How's school?  You don't share your college experience with us.  I would love to hear about your studies.  Anyway, I hope you are having a great time, and everything is going smoothly for you.  The weather here has cooled down, since it rained last night, thank God.  In an effort to save money by not wasting it on vanities, I have implemented a "no spending" day upon myself today.  I eat what I have in the cooler.  If I have bills to pay, I pay them some other day.  I didn't spend any gasoline either by staying at home, just working in the kitchen, on the computer, or in the yard, and enjoying the company of my lovely cats.  I did do a lot of kitchen work in the morning.  I made more of that coconut alfredo sauce, thinned out this time, then put it in the freezer for future use.  I worked on some curry pup stuffing: I had some potatoes boiled, cubed them up then mixed them with fried onions and curry leaves.  Lunch was steamed rice with pepper steak, just wonderful!  And for dinner, I fried up the rest of the boiled potatoes, and finished off the pack of hot dogs I bought the other day.  And there you go.  "No spending" day.  When's the last time you went through the day without spending any money?  How often do you do so?

A busy day

Hi Natty honey!  What's going on over there?  I hope you are having a great time and getting things done nice and easily.  I've had quite a busy day today.  Nowadays I get up every morning at 5 am, do some cleanup then some extra worship, then wait for them to call the dawn prayer, and after that I go back to sleep until daybreak then do more chores then whatever.  I didn't go back to sleep today, I got started on all the chores early so I could leave the house to run errands.  First I had to go to the insurance company then the local DMV (here known as the JPJ) to renew the road tax on my motorcycle.  If you didn't know, Shadowplay is a registered business so I had to go pay a bill on that.  All that running and waiting around kept me busy until 11 am, then I had to worry about making my lunch then getting some rest before voice training.  Good thing my Mom gave me some lunch.  Thanks, Mom!  Wow, it was a hot day, and hot last night.  I had trouble sleeping.  It's still hot right now.  Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time I had to sing.  But the show must go on.

I got killed again during voice training.  Some guy with 666 in his name threw a bomb at me as I was about to finish the last song.  I guess it was irony that I died then.  However, I am more concerned right now with the color of my shoes.  I wore pink, and when I put the outfit together the shoes matched the dress.  Then when I started my set, the shoes were purple.  That irritated me, so I had to adjust it.  Then the shoes later turn electric pink, then a bright pink, and I just gave up.  It seems the shoes had a different texture than the dress, so they reacted to sunset and night differently than the dress.  Maybe I'm just color blind.  Oh, I AM color blind.  Still, though.  😒

Coconut alfredo sauce

Hi Natty honey!  How are you today, beautiful and precious lady?  I hope you are doing and feeling great.  What was that?  Did you suddenly feel a moment of satisfaction?  I love it when God grants us glimpses of happiness.  Just remember that perfection is a reward for the righteous in the next life.  Since we are still stuck in this world, then it's back to the toil after the brief high.  What's for dinner?  My Mom gave me a box of low fat milk a while ago, and I've been figuring out what to do with it.  I didn't want to drink it, and it's so thin I can't cook with it.  Then a few days ago I harvested some coconut, and I thought I would try to make coconut alfredo sauce.  It's simple really, just blend the coconut meat in the low fat milk until smooth, then cook it as alfredo sauce.  So dinner was spaghetti in coconut alfredo sauce with chicken.  It looked and tasted good, so I think it works as an alfredo sauce.  It tastes like alfredo sauce without tasting cheesy.  Does that make sense?  I made it too thick, though.  So thick it sticks to your lips.  I also made too much.  Alfredo sauce is a heavy sauce, and I made too much, I couldn't finish it.  And pasta doesn't keep as leftovers, so I had to throw the rest away, which is a shame because it really did taste good.  Next time I'll thin out the sauce and use less.  I made 2 pints of sauce for only the cost of the garlic and half a tomato (the coconuts were from my yard), compared with 2 pints of heavy cream which would run at about RM30 or more.

Sunday is BLACK!
