Kitchen Economics

I used to work a regular daily job too, as recently as a few years ago when my Dad made me office manager of his law firm.  But before that, I had to spend 5-6 days a week at the pizza joint, from 8 am until dinner rush was over.  Allah gave me some knowledge of cooking, so I didn't have to spend my earnings on eating out all the time, so I could spend the money on music instead.  Anyway, I would get half off the food at the restaurant, so I bought raw foods and kept them in my cooler.  Then I would cook my meals and pack them for lunch if necessary.  Nowadays, I still prefer to buy raw foods then process them into meals, plus now I also have vegetables growing in my yard.

I always plan every meal, and I try to keep it at 2 meals a day.  Save, save, save!  I make my own bread and sauces, and I always use the oldest food first.  Today the potatoes were the oldest food, so I made curry pups, which is bread stuffed with a hot curry stuffing.  Oh, I should have taken photos.  I had to make the stuffing first, and to do that I had to make hot chilli puree first, which I made from 160 grams of dried chilli peppers which I steamed last night.  I had marinara sauce and noodles planned for dinner, but my Dad gave me some take out food instead.  Shrimp croquettes in peanut sauce.  Oh, I should have taken a photo of that as well.  I'm extra spacey today.

Anyway, the Law of the Fridge: plan your meals around the oldest food in the cooler!

Hey!

If I could afford to buy ingredients every day, then I wouldn't ever have a boring meal either!  Actually, the most nutritious meals are the boring ones I think.  The stomach can be very stupid, or it would react to challenges with a lot of acid.  Erin, those packaged meals mean that you're not cooking.  Please practice your cooking and get good at it, and feed your friends and family.

Hey Natty!  You're not too serious, I hope!  Have fun, OK?  Be safe, and remember that it gets lonely at the top.

Hi Piene!  What's for dinner?

Little girl

Is that you Erin, that little girl with her horsies, and pondering on the tree stump?  Looks like you.  I'll have to say that those exercises are very sexually arousing.  So do you refrigerate yourself to keep your skin smooth?  Wouldn't it be the same to just cover up and stay out of the sun?

Natty, I know precisely what's going on with you, and who am I to argue with the things you do for love?  There's plenty of time Sweetie, so take your time and straighten out your house.  As for me, I like you very much and I want to marry you.  But I don't have a dowry for you right now, and I have to marry Erin first.

Hey Piene!  Show me your beautiful face, OK!

It rained all morning and all day, so I couldn't go out to buy groceries.  So I had to make marinara sauce with what I had at home.  The basil and cilantro in my yard couldn't be harvested yet.  What I had in abundance was mint.  Marinara sauce with mint?

I didn't have time to take off my jacket before I crashed out when I went dancing,so I'm unable to show you my entire outfit.  Ive reached my data cap, anyway.

My Reality

The great part about it is that I'm the one who has to pay or your house and your life, because you are my wife.  Please pray.

Natty, there is no emotional dilemma.  You haven't lost a brother, you've gained a husband inshaAllah.  The duck face video is for you.

If one knowingly employs crooks and they conduct crooked business, does that make one a crook too?  Or is it merely circumstantial?  Or is it simply too late?

For lunch, I went to a banquet which was held for the occasion of a circumcision.  No, not the same kid and he has 2 penises.  It was for a different kid.  I took a photo of my food for you.  It was rice, chicken, fish, pineapple curry, cucumber pickle, and hot sauce.

Which is the better meal?

Your high-class, gourmet health food or my hummus, hot dogs and sliced tomatoes?  You classy food may be great to you, but it's not a blessing to me because I will have to match that in order to please you, when I don't even know what it tastes like.  Well, I guess I could guess.  Did you eat that flower, by the way?

Hey Thrasher Girl!  How's it going?  How are you feeling?  What are you eating?  I want you to photograph what you eat everyday.  I'm curious to see what you eat.

You too, Piene.  I want you to photograph your food.  I want to make sure your bosses aren't starving you.

My cell phone battery was swollen, so I went and bought a new one.  I showed the bloated battery to the cell phone guy, and asked him what caused it.  He said that I overcharged it, and that 4 hours charging is maximum.  He also said that a battery in that condition is dangerous, that it could either explode or leak radioactivity.  Hm.  I may have left it charging overnight, but as I recall, the performance of that battery deteriorated long ago.  I suspect (but am not sure) that the battery saver app contributed to the bloating of the battery.

Qur'an 20161129

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

40. Whether We shall show you part of what We promised them, or take to Ourself your soul, your duty is to reach them.  It is Our part to call them to account.

41.  See they not that We gradually reduce the land from its outlying border?  Allah commands: there is none to put back God's command, and God is Swift in calling to account.

42.  Those before them did devise plots, but in all things the master-planning is Allah's.  God knows the doings of every soul, and soon will the unbelievers know who gets home in the end.

43.  The unbelievers say, "No messenger are you."  Say, "Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book."

Remember: protect your chastity

You know something?  I think Trump is afraid of a recount!

Natty, are you counting your fingers again?  Don't worry Sweetheart, everything will be OK inshaAllah.

Piene, you're so thin!  Are you hungry?  You poor little darling!
