Hi there, my beautiful Ladies! How are you feeling today? I hope you are nice and relaxed, and keeping those emotions under control. You will have more fun that way. I just finished my dinner. I had some liver to use up. So I fried up some onions, eggplant and potato, marinated the liver in turmeric powder and salt, then added that in. Chicken liver disintegrates easily, so I chopped that up and cubed the beef liver. After cooking the mix, I used it to stuff a couple of burritos. A nice, mild dinner. Want some? I screwed up Floofy's dinner though. Lately I have been adding water to her raw chicken breast, because I saw on TV that by adding water to the food, I can increase the cat's hydration. But that failed, and she puked it out. Note to cat owners: don't add water to raw chicken meat. They get enough water from the meat alone, and if they need more then they can go to the water bowl.
Did you see the finale of America's Got Talent? I believe that Allah intended for Kodi Lee to win, and I'm glad he did. My question now is, "How are they going to get him to learn more songs?"

Qur'an 20190919
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
80. Say, "O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and grant me from Your Presence an authority to aid."
81. And say, "Truth has arrived and falsehood perished, for falsehood is bound to perish."
82. We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe, to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.
83. Yet when We bestow Our favors on humans, they turn away and become remote on their sides, and when evil seizes them they give themselves up to despair!
84. Say, "Everyone acts according to his own disposition, but your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."
The Night Journey 17:80-84

So serious
Yeah, I have a sense of humor! In fact, my Mom and I make a great comedy team. But alas, my mother no longer laughs at my jokes. Everything has become so serious. It's the situation that is serious. And only unbelievers make jokes about Islam.
Here's a funny story. Some guy was leading me to a conference room full of people, for some sort of job interview. He told me to shake everybody's hand and introduce myself. I'm not a politician! I loathe and avoid such situations! But since I was already there, I did what I was instructed. No, I didn't ask for money or anything at all. Anyway, the old men readily greeted me and sincerely shook my hand. Then I approached the women, quite a few of them were wearing hijabs. The women shook my hand with the tips of their fingers, and avoided eye contact. Except for one, who told me that she didn't like the smell of my hat, which was the one I always wear to the mosque. So she called the security guard who escorted me out of the room. I got into an argument with him, and he gave me a pamphlet. I had just visited the Society of Personal Hygiene. Hey, I took a shower and brushed my teeth! Sometimes I shower 4 or 5 times a day! It figures, fame is when more people want to smell you. And they will never like the smell.

The rain washes away the haze
Hi Erin! How are you feeling today, Honey? Busy as usual, I assume. Well, I hope you are eating well and getting plenty of rest. What is life without sleeping and dreaming? Maybe we can do that together sometime. Right now, I am keeping an eye on my dinner, which is glutenous rice with fresh tomatoes and salt fish. Yeah, I really like that stuff. You should try it someday. Last night, I made spaghetti for dinner. It had been raining continuously all day yesterday, so I couldn't go out. Thus I made the sauce from fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil which I have growing in a pot on my porch. I cut the tomatoes into cubes, stuffed the basil leaves, garlic and tomatoes into the blender, turned the thing on, then pushed down on the mix until it blends. Tomatoes have a lot of water in them, do this method works quite well. But you have to be gentle with the blender. I had to strain the sauce because of the water. The sauce turned out a bit green, but I think it was a success. The rain stopped today, and took the haze along with it. Unless of course, you didn't get any rain. So I did some yard work today, and organized the trash for burning.

Hey Sunshine
Look at you, all beautifully dressed and designed. Did I ever tell you how gorgeous your arms and shoulders are? Perfection. When I get up at 2 am, I usually work myself back to sleep. But now I'm stuck without a computer and using cell phone like normal folks, perhaps that may explain why I'm not waiting to blog at sunset but responding to you quickly. Yeah, I have my nights free all of a sudden. Perhaps it's just a sign of love. Natty, you're so beautiful. No it's not sunny right now. It's wonderfully cool and almost cold. You are the sunshine. Can I have you and the cool both at the same time?
