Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are feeling great, and having a marvelous time.  I'm doing OK.  I just got done cutting the grass, then made my dinner which was curry noodles.  After I finish this post, I'll head out to the mosque for the sunset prayer.  After I finish all my work, I'm going to watch Sailor Moon Crystal.  I haven't seen all of that yet.  I hope everything is going smoothly for you, Natty.  I love you!

The Silence Glaive

 



Hi Natty!  How are you today, my love?  I hope that all is well for you, and that you are safe and healthy.  I would say that it's a solemn day, would you agree?  The water supply for this village got cut yesterday about 4 pm or so.  I had a little water in the reservoir in my bathroom, enough for a shower and ablution before the noon prayer.  Afterward though, it wasn't enough to get through the night.  But the rain fell, alhamdulillah.  There is a runoff from the roof on the outside of my bathroom, and the amount of water dispensed is fast and large, especially if the rainfall were heavy.  There is debris from the roof of course, but something is better than nothing.  After I collected enough to flush and possibly shower (I still had ablution water), the rain stopped and I got ready for the night.  Then the tap water came back.  It was filthy, though.  The runoff from the roof was cleaner.  Honey, we absolutely must build a rooftop reservoir for your house inshaAllah.

I got Mary's avatar a new toy: The Silence Glaive.  I was hoping for her to wield it all the time, but the animations I have that suit the scepter are limited.  And in Second Life, the animations must be best for the outfit, otherwise the avatar would look ungraceful.  Fashion!

Translation to halal

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are safe and feeling well, and are enjoying yourself.  I'm doing OK over here.  I did my laundry this morning, then I did some kitchen work.  I don't have much cash right now, but I did manage to score some cabbage, string beans, eggplant, a couple of peppers and a carrot for RM5 yesterday.  So I processed that into a stir fry mix, but I roasted the peppers and kept them in the cooler.  I had ramen for lunch, using the fish head and kelp broth.  I tried using eggplant in my ramen for the first time to see how it would work out.  I suppose it's OK, perhaps it would have been better if I cut the eggplant into noodle-like strips.

Check out the video above.  I guess the guy is some sort of food blogger, and he can sure eat.  One restaurant after another, like falling dominoes!  Everything is delicious to him, and I must say that it does look delicious.  Especially the parfait.  Now I'm dying for a strawberry parfait, and they have nice strawberries in Japan.  All the food looks good, but the problem is that it's not halal.  And since it isn't halal, I have no desire to go there and eat any of it.  But food like that could be translated into halal given the right means.  Like the parfait and sushi, that would be easy to make halal.  Pork is impossible though, and if the restaurant had even only one dish with pig in it then the whole menu is contaminated.  Because of the kitchen.  Pork could be substituted with beef depending on how you would cook it, or chicken if you were cautious about subduing the taste of chicken.  Is it worth it?  I would just study the concept of the dish, then make my own interpretation that would be halal.  For instance, ramen with tonkotsu broth.  I substitute the pig broth with blended veggies that were stewed in beef bones, and add butter for fat.  Hey, if you didn't know what it tastes like then you don't miss it.  As for the native diner, he can just go where he usually goes to eat it.  But food cannot be 100% international if it were not halal.

The sensitive tummy

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's your tummy?  Oh dear, being a jet set supermodel has all the temptations.  While underneath all the glitz and glamor is a regular girl.  Perhaps you feel forced to try out foods because other people want you to.  That's the worst- you're going to have to be very strict with people like that.  Look after your tummy, Honey.  I'm guessing that it's very sensitive.  Even though you are face to face and can afford luxurious buffets, your tummy wants you to eat at McDonald's.  I have more bad news for you: an all fruit diet is very bad for you.  This includes smoothies.  Plus being busy and always on the go go go makes your tummy even more sensitive.  Stress!  Sure it's fun and a dream come true, but it's stressful.  You're going to have to keep it simple with your tummy.  Turkey breast, fried chicken, white rice, sliced bread, mashed potatoes etc.  Boring foods only.  Be strict, or your tummy won't allow you to have fun and make lots of money.  You know what that means, right?  No food endorsements, unless:

Qur'an 20220523

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

29.  Say, "The Truth is from your Lord."  Let him who will, believe: and let him who will, reject.  For the wrongdoers We have prepared a fire, like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in.  If they implore relief, they will be granted water like melted brass that will scald their faces.  How dreadful the drink!  How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!

30.  As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a righteous deed.

The Cave 18:29-30
