Hi Erin!  How are you, my precious darling?  You are always on my mind, no matter how hectic and crazy things are going.  You are beautiful to me, I love you and I will always love you.  You are my fluffy kitty!  How are things there in Chicago?  I assume you are busy and highly in demand.  I assume you're not going to the MCU marathon prior to Avengers: Endgame.  People are crazy!  I have this picture in my head of hordes of bloated couch potatoes camping out at theaters.  It's sold out!  Can you imagine?  22 movies in a row!  I understand they will be having breaks between movies to tidy up, so a 48 hour event is actually 55 hours.  But what's for dinner?  I'm feeling worn out today, I think it must be the diet.  I'm sticking to it though, after all it's less than 2 weeks to Ramadan.  Might as well, huh?  Dinner for me is a couple of chicken nugget sandwiches with cheese and mayo (6 nuggets total), and steamed cauliflower.  Sounds like a diet to me!

In times of war, Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) forbids that houses of worship, the elderly, women and children be harmed.

Why are my roots blonde?  Second Life was being strange during my photo shoot.  I must be blonde at heart.  It was a great session though, and I got carried away with the snapshots.

Qur'an 20190424

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful

23.  O you who believe!  Take not for protectors your fathers and your brethren if they love infidelity above faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.

24.  Say, "If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, or the dwellings in which you delight are dearer to you than Allah or God's messenger, or the striving in God's cause, then wait until Allah brings about God's Decision.  And Allah guides not the rebellious."

(The Repentance 9:23-24)

"I have to make a donation AGAIN?" would be the thought of most people.  They found it difficult enough to make the first donation, even more so the second time.  Over a lousy buck.

Aw Natty, don't you worry about a thing, you beautiful Sweetheart.  Everything is going to turn out absolutely great for us inshaAllah, and you are going to do fabulously inshaAllah.  You are MY girl, you are beautiful and I love you.  So have faith and enjoy being you and being so gorgeous.  Please make that donation OK?  Especially the "in the name of Allah" part.  Are you hungry?  My Mom gave me some prawns this morning, so I cooked them up for lunch.  I'm sure you've come across prawn croquettes over there in Bali.  Also known as fried prawn cakes or "cucur udang".  It's a simple recipe.  The batter is just egg, water, flour, and salt, more on the runny side.  I put in a lot of sliced onions.  The shrimp is bigger than what I usually buy, so I had to peel them.  Don't throw out the heads!  That's the best part, just make sure they crisp up nicely.  Jumbo shrimp don't make good fried shrimp cakes.  The head is just too big.  Oh, I forgot to take a snapshot again!  Here's another photo of Julie Andrews instead.  Wow, she looked great when wet.

Hi Natty!  How's your glamorous life in the tropical paradise?  I hope you are having a great time.  Don't be so worried about the antics of others, it's because you are Mrs. Rock Star inshaAllah.  You are MY girl, you are beautiful and I love you.  Are you hungry?  Do you want some fried rice?  I'll bet you have been eating a lot of fried rice.  There are a lot of bad versions of fried rice.  I like to look at fried rice as being the mastery of cooking leftovers.  The rice used for making fried rice should have been left in the fridge overnight for it to cook up perfectly.  I believe that fried rice should be light and refreshing, so it can't be bogged down with grease and sauces.  For today's fried rice, I used young kaffir lime leaves, chives, mint, garlic, onion, fish cake, and an egg.  First I sliced up the onion then fried it in oil until almost black, then I took it out.  Reducing the heat, I fried the chopped garlic and the kaffir lime leaves.  What a fragrance!  Once the garlic is brown and the leaves wilt, I put in the rice and cook it until fully separated, seasoning it with soy sauce and chicken bouillon.  Not too much seasoning!  Light and refreshing!  Then I add the egg to a hole I make in the rice, and let that cook.  Add the onions and sliced fish cake, then mix it all up.  Shut off the heat, and finally mix in the chopped chives and whole mint leaves.  Are you excited?  Are you?  Are you?  Oh sorry I didn't take a snapshot.  I was more interested in eating.  Here's a photo of Julie Andrews instead.

The Diet

Hi Erin!  How are you doing, my Darling?  Are you busy being the American Princess?  Yes my love, America needs you, so do your work with pride.  It's nice to be on that virtual pedestal, and it's entertaining to laugh to yourself about all the silliness going on around you.  That's because most people have no grasp of Allah, so they become silly.  You just give thanks to Allah, OK?  I love you.

Hi Natty!  How is your awareness program coming along?  Ah, it's part of the job.  I guess that means it's part of being Mrs. Rock Star, and being so pretty.  Are the natives in awe of you?  Don't show off!  Yes my dearest Natty, you are such a beautiful sweetheart, and you want to be nice to the world even though they get jealous of you.  What a good heart you have.  I love you.

So I'm still on a diet.  I've learned that you don't have to be wealthy to get bloated.  Poor people can get bloated as well.  It's either that or I'm wealthy and I don't know it.  No, that's not it- I would be married already...  Anyway, I've been eating half portions.  Instead of eating the whole cup of rice, I put away half a cup.  Instead of 2 cheeseburgers, I only have one.  Sundays I always but my lunch, and I always get 3 portions of "nasi lemak" (rice).  But the woman who makes them overstuffed them for me, so I guess I overate for lunch.  Then dinner I had a cheeseburger and a half portion of fries.  I don't know.  I don't have a scale.  I think I'm losing weight.  My clothes feel looser.  I just don't know...

Do I look thinner to you?
