Ramen

 

Hi Natty!  How's it going today, Honey?  You must be busy, but perhaps it's calmed down enough that maybe you think of me.  Of course I think of you all the time, I love you.  Are you hungry?  I just had dinner, tonight is the night market so I bought my dinner there.  I have a lot of ranch dressing right now, so I bought stuff to dip in ranch, namely fried chicken and seafood kabobs.  I had ramen for lunch!  My ramen is becoming more refined after watching all those ramen videos.  That broth above is beef bones, ginger, garlic, onion, broccoli stems, mustard green stems, seaweed and Vietnamese coriander.  This is the 3rd time I reused the beef bones, and the gristle had turned into gelatin quite nicely.  I used the seasoning packet for MSG.  Then there's the noodle brick sitting on some soy sauce, one egg (you can't see it because it's at the bottom of the bowl being soft boiled), shredded mustard greens, roast beef chunks, tofu and sesame seeds.  Very light and flavorful.  I love ramen!  Want some?

Mary's dress is one of the older mesh objects made for classic avatars.  Which is fine, some of the older mesh can look great.  But the dress has a funny shape to it, like she's wearing pads on her hips.  Otherwise it could be a very pretty dress:

Happy Mother's Day

 

I love you, Mom!

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I'm sure you are busy, so please make sure you get sufficient rest and take care of your health.  It's a busy day for me here as well.  I cleaned my mother's bedroom in the morning.  The restaurants are open again after the long holiday, so I was able to get takeout lunch.  Fish head curry!  I love fish heads!  For dinner, I made tempura.  Chicken, fish cake and broccoli.  The chicken was OK, the fish cake was not bad, and the broccoli was excellent.  I think I need a different batter for the chicken, or maybe slice it thinner.  What made everything work out well was the ranch dressing.  I made a huge batch of ranch the other day, well about 32 oz.  I think you would like my ranch dressing, Natty.  It makes everything taste good.  Even salads.  Oh God, now I want chicken wings.  Oh God, now I want blue cheese dressing.

Serious

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's business?  Oh, it's serious business huh.  I can see your serious face from way over here.  But you look absolutely beautiful when you're serious.  Go break some hearts, Honey.

Today, I feel more agitated than serious.  It's like the simplest things have more power.  It's like Mary's microphone this afternoon was ridiculously loud but the dial was only on one.  But I did get a good lead guitar take this morning while I was working on Shadowplay's next album, "Rise of the Horizon Creature" aka "Search for the Beast".  Very gentle and smooth yet complex.  Alhamdulillah.  I made broth for ramen, but I ate fries.

Qur'an 20220507

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

56.  Say, "Call on those, besides God, whom you fancy.  They have neither the power to remove your troubles from you, nor to change them."

57.  Those whom they call upon do desire means of access to their Lord, even those who are nearest.  They hope for God's Mercy, and fear God's Wrath, for the Wrath of your Lord is something to take heed of.

The Night Journey  17:56-57

The humble ramen

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I expect you are busy, going from place to place and being fabulous as you are.  Please make sure you take good care of your health and safety.  There's not much going on here today.  It's been an exciting week, for both of us I guess.  I wish I could sleep more, but I always have stuff to do

I made another batch of lentil fritter mix.  I snack on those pretty much every night.  I put so many chillies in there, my hands are still burning from straining the mix.  I had ramen for lunch.  One may think that ramen is a quick fix.  The noodles yes of course, but the broth takes a long time.  Not today though, I used a mix of leftover broth I kept in the cooler.  I added tofu, fish cake, veggies and an egg, and it was done.  Oh yeah, I also fried up some chicken skin to make artificial bacon bits.  I love ramen!  Last night I watched the video above, in particular the first piece about a 64 year old grandfather who pushes around a hand cart 20 km a day to sell bowls of ramen for ¥500 each.  God, I feel so bad for him.
