Oh, don't worry so much. It's a crazy job, but someone has to do it. And you're so nice and sweet, you worry too much. Just be cool, and be patient. Please pray. It turns out that we are the best qualified for what we do because Allah has chosen us to do it. So be grateful to Allah. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
That chainsaw I just got didn't want to start when I tried it out yesterday. I hurt my shoulder pulling on that thing. So my Dad took me to the guys who sold it, and it turned out that the choke is very sensitive, and I flooded the engine. So it starts fine now, and I'll try again tomorrow to clear the unwanted trees around your house inshaAllah.
Please make a donation to a worthwhile charity of a minimum of one US dollar or one Euro.

Qur'an 20160119
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
78. And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book but desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.
79. Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say, "This is from Allah," to traffic with it for a miserable price. Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.
80. And they say, "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days." Say, "Have you taken a promise with Allah, for God never breaks the Promise of Allah? Or is it that you say of Allah what you do not know?"
(The Heifer 2:78-80)

Suppose you are to be married to some cash cow, then that would enhance your own work and earning power that some people would love you so much more. Your popularity and earning power would be at its peak right before you marry, after all you work in the Public Eye. So logically, they would want to delay the marriage as long as possible because they would be reluctant to let you go, even though they be aware of the paradox that the marriage is what makes the money. Eventually they will have to let you go, but not with goodwill. But how do you feel about it, Princess? I love you and I need you.
For some reason, all my kittens are terrified of their mother. When Floofy spent a lot of her time outside, she would love to harass her boys. She would sneak up and pounce on them, and they would never fight back. They would just run like hell. Now she's an indoors cat, she enjoys wrestling with her daughters and pinning them down. You should see the expression on the girls' faces when they are about to be wrestled down. Last night, I saw little ------- took shelter under a plank leaning on the wall from her mother who was in a rasslin' mood. Floofy sat next to her with a bored look on her face, then stuck a claw into -------'s, ahem... pussy. Yow!

Hello Sweetheart! Hello Munchkin! Oh sorry- you're too tall to be a munchkin. But you are really cute. And beautiful too. I hope you are staying safe, and being careful. Please realize that you are at the top, you are a Queen, because you are my Queen. Regardless of what the media says. The crowd is NOT your friend: always remember that. We live in the Public Eye. In your position it is practical to be cautious, with how people approach you, or how people watch you. Only the stupid would regard your caution as paranoia. You are not the same girl you were 3 years ago. I want you to be safe, because I love you and I need you.
My parents just got me a chainsaw. Thanks, Mom and Dad. A chainsaw doesn't really make a good defensive weapon (not like those video games always portray) because you have to start the damn thing, but at least I can tackle those trees now, instead of pecking away at the trunk with a machete. It's a bit heavy, so there's an issue about using it on a ladder for instance, but oh well. I have a chainsaw now.
I should be vegging out in front of the TV eating junk food at my age, but there's always something hampering such a quest. For instance, I had to make my own junk food today. Well, I bought a sack of potatoes, and I have a serrated peeler which happens to cut great chips. So I made my own potato chips. Boy, that was time consuming. It's so much easier to just buy them. And I only managed to make about a medium bagful of chips, because I kept on eating them. I don't have a vacuum packer, so the chips go stale quickly. So I wound up devouring the whole lot early, now I have nothing to snack on when I watch TV tonight.

Yeah, I'll be the first to admit that I'm the laziest butt in the world. Although it seems I do a lot of manual labor, I don't like it. I would rather eat junk food and watch TV. I'm 50 years old! Isn't that what other men my age do?
Aaa! I don't want to think about it! Let's talk about dinner instead. I still have lots of tofu left, and I need to use it up while it's still fresh. So for dinner, it's a tofu and cheese omelet. I don't like my omelets all-white or all-yellow. If you were to beat an egg before cooking it, it would turn out all-yellow, right? The yolk takes over. Instead, I approach an omelet like sunny side up eggs. I break the eggs into the hot greased pan, then break the yolks and mix them into the whites without blending them, like Neapolitan ice cream. For this omelet I used 3 eggs, salt, pepper, powdered milk, sliced tofu and sliced cheese. Oh no, my saute pan is too small! Even though the pan was too small, the flavor is awesome alhamdulillah. You must try it! I love fresh tofu. I enjoyed the omelet with fresh tortillas and my Mom's "sambal belacan".
Now don't get me wrong, I still do physical labor. How else can I get yard work done? Today I cut the grass at my house, my parents' house and your house inshaAllah. Now I'll lie back, and watch TV. Please make sure you take good care of yourself, and get plenty of rest. Keep safe, OK? I love you and I need you.

Well, none of us is perfect, least of all me. Marriage takes work as it is: I'm not even married yet, and haven't even begun to work. You're so sweet and beautiful, I love you and I need you. We must try to be patient with each other because after all, I must be the laziest butt in the world. I am concerned about our kids, because I want to bring more good people into the world. InshaAllah. And of course we have to be good parents. InshaAllah. Please pray.
My grilled chicken turned out great this morning. Alhamdulillah. My barbecue sauce worked great. It has to be the fermented anchovies that gave it kick. I like that stone grill I just bought. As for dinner, I had planned tofu in brown gravy with sliced steak on top. Then when I reached for the brown gravy mix, I discovered that my latest batch of dough was soft enough to use. I thought it would be ready tomorrow. So instead of steak, I had the tofu with a couple of tortillas. Awesome, alhamdulillah. If the tofu is good, then you don't need meat. You don't need anything at all, just a little salt.

You know what I love about you the most, Erin? It's your sincerity. I have the belief that you are sincere with me, about being married to me. I can't prove it, but I believe it. It makes me feel that I can love you forever. I love you and I need you. Praise be to Allah.
I finally got around to doing some grocery shopping this morning. I got some chicken wings and breast, tofu, won ton skins, chili fixings, etc. Just the usual stuff. Thus I'm writing this letter later than usual, because I spent most of the evening and night doing kitchen work. I made my home made hot sauce but with extra ginger this time. I also made some ketchup based barbecue sauce for my grilled chicken breast tomorrow. Mostly ketchup and fermented anchovies, with soy sauce and some spices. That took a while, then I had a late dinner of stuffed won tons. It's been a while since I had it last, and they sure tasted good. I had a lot too, so you should have been here to share my dinner with me. Thus again, I just got done stuffing old ketchup bottles with home made hot sauce before clearing my desk to write.
