Have courage, now

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are well, and keeping safe.  I'm doing OK, I'm munching on my dinner right now.  The sardine rolls I made the other day were so good, I thought I would try that approach on some other ingredients.  This time I used carrots, cabbage, garlic, galangal, and beef all chopped up with some Mae Pranom (Siamese tamarind sauce) mixed in.  It came out kind of sweet.  It's OK I guess, I don't know if I would make it again.

The Lord does not love cowards!

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

The stench of humanity

 

Hi Natty!  How you doin' Honey?  Thank you for your support, I love you with all of my heart.  Please keep safe and healthy, and have tons of fun OK!  I'm doing OK over here.  It's Monday, and I needed to make a fresh batch of roast beef.  I had set aside the morning for the task, but I still had to go out and buy the cheap meat.  So I splashed some bleach water over my chest and face, and hoped that would be enough to quell the morning stench.  Jane pointed out to me later that I should have taken a shower.  For what?  To smell nice for the checkout girls at the supermarket?  And for that I had to spend an extra half hour wetting my body and soaping up, pushing the bath water out a small hole in the bathroom wall with a squeegee, drying my balls, then putting on clothes?  When I get married inshaAllah, I'll make more of an effort to smell better.  Otherwise, I'll just shower for the mosque or when I have to spend an extended amount of time with my mother.

Kitten update

 

Happy New Year, Natty!  How are you feeling, Honey?  I hope you are having a fabulous time over there, mingling with the jet set.  Please make sure you keep safe and healthy.  I'm doing OK.  I suppose I should have a lot of hopes going into the new year but my prayers have been the same for a long time already, so I'm just going to take it one day at a time.  

Look at my kittens!  From left to right that's Anna, Helmut, Otto and Gunhilde.  You can tell they're already very active, but they aren't able to scale the walls of the crib yet.  They can hang onto the edge but can't get over it, so they start pleading and crying.  Lookie got tired of hearing them bawl, so she took them out of the crib some time after I took that snapshot.  Come feeding time, she realized that she had created a chaotic mess, so she went to put them back into the crib but it wasn't there.  I had washed it.  But by that time it had already dried, so I put a fresh towel in there then put the babies back in.  Later, Lookie looked at me rather sheepishly and I said, "Don't you even know what a cat is?"  No, I didn't say that.  I actually said, "Isn't it much easier to keep them in the crib?  When the time comes, they will crawl out of it by themselves!"  Below is a photo of my 7 cats, clockwise beginning with the nervous mother Lookie, then Helmut, Otto, Jane, Gunhilde, Anna and Adolf.
