Tomato puree
Hi there Natty! How are you, my love? I hope you are healthy and having a fabulous time. I have another pot of beans slow cooking on my stove top right now. Yeah, I have to declare the last batch of chili I made a failure. I don't usually put tomato puree or paste in my chili, but last time I did and it gave me severe heartburn. It tasted so normal though, but after 4 hours the heartburn crept up. The strange thing is when I used that same tomato puree in spaghetti sauce, my stomach had no problem with it. So it made me wonder that, did all the chili I ate throughout my life give me heartburn because of the tomato paste? Do people in general get heartburn from eating chili because of the tomato paste? I can only speculate about that. What I do know is when I made chili without tomato paste, I didn't get heartburn. No matter how hot and spicy it was. This batch of chili is going to be experimental though, so we'll see how my tummy reacts. I'm putting local flavors in it, like bitter bean hot sauce and mixed curry that I bought from the corner restaurant.

Precision
Hi Natty! What's happening with you, my darling? I hope you're doing great and having tons of fun. I made some toasted sardine sandwiches for dinner, with home made mayo. Would you like one? The mayo solidified at the top for some reason. Too much oil, probably. So I had to scoop that out to spread on the bread, which I toasted first, with the sardine mix in. So the sandwiches came out oozing, but in a good way. No precision there, but it turned out great. I'm watching "Manhattan" for the first time, right now. It's in Italian though. It looks like a visual movie, but there's a lot of chatter. I don't really know Italian, so I hope I don't miss anything. I had a chance to cut the grass in the evening. The weed whacker spits out many tiny rocks, one would think it were a random pattern. But I've learn to keep mouth shut while working. I open my mouth just a tiny bit, and a small rock fits in there. A small rock went up my nostril. I there was a spot under my balls which had been itching all day, and the weed whacker threw a rock at that exact spot. No, it was not a pleasurable experience, but it did stop itching.

The Akeruka [AK Advanced] Bento Head V2.7 #Limited Edition
Hi Natty! How are you? What's going on? Are you still keeping busy? It must be warming up there in the mountains, it must be beautiful up there. I really envy you that. But the weather here has been mild lately, and I had fun things to do so alhamdulillah. I hope you are keeping healthy, and that your life is filled with beauty and happiness.
I finally saved up enough Linden dollars to buy Mary Unknown7 the Akeruka [AK Advanced] - Bento Head V2.7 #Limited Edition. It's actually a giveaway for one Linden but only for group members, and the membership fee was 150 Lindens, so it cost me 151 Lindens, which was all I had. Yeah pathetic, I know. But it's a pretty mesh head and much suited for Mary. Check it out, this is the Catwa Freya head that she's been using lately:
And this is the Akeruka mesh head:
Big difference, huh? It's the nose that makes most of the difference, I think. Mary likes it so much more than the Freya head, and wants to use the Akeruka head from now on. So I guess this will probably be the last photo session using the Freya head. Also the white rosebud in my yard will bloom tomorrow inshaAllah, so that means the Mary's black outfit marathon is over and she will get back to wearing other colors. Sundays are still black, of course.

Qur'an 20200618
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
11. Say, "Verily I am commanded to serve Allah with sincere devotion."
12. And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to God in Islam.
13. Say, "I would, if I disobeyed my Lord, indeed have fear of the penalty of a Mighty Day."
14. Say, "It is Allah I serve, with my sincere devotion."
15. Serve you what you will besides God. Say, "Truly those in loss are those who lose their own souls and their people on the Day of Judgement." Ah, that is indeed the evident loss!
16. They shall have layers of fire above them, and layers below them. With this does Allah warn God's servants: "O My servants! Then fear you Me!"
17. Those who eschew evil and fall not into its worship, and turn to Allah: for them is good news. So announce the good news to My servants.
18. Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best in it. Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding.
The crowds 39:11-18

Qur'an 20200617
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
7. If you reject, truly Allah has no need of you, but God dislikes ingratitude from God's servants. If you are grateful, God is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the end to your Lord is your return, when God will tell you the truth of all that you did, for God Knows Well all that is in hearts.
8. When some trouble touches man, he cries unto his Lord, turning to God in repentance. But when God bestows a favor upon him as from Godself, he forgets what he cried and prayed for before, and he sets up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy your blasphemy for a little while, verily you are of the companions of the fire!"
9. Is one who worships devoutly during the hours of the night, prostrating or standing, who takes heed of the hereafter, and who places his hope in the mercy of his Lord...? Say, "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition."
10. Say, "O you servants who believe! Fear your Lord. Good is for those who do good in this world. Spacious is Allah's earth. Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!"
The Crowds 39:7-10

Fungus
Hi Natty! How are you today, my beautiful Princess? I hope you are feeling healthy and happy, and having a fabulous time. Are you hungry? I've been eating the same thing all day. I went to the market early this morning. I'm making stuffed won tons for my mother's birthday tomorrow, so I had to go early before the good stuff sold out. So I got some fresh fish balls, and fresh tofu. A LOT of them. So I've been gorging on fish balls and tofu all day. So simple! So pure! So good! It has to be fresh, though...
I had to head back to town in the evening to get cable for the weed whacker, a bottle of hot sauce, and some stuff from the pharmacy. I noticed that people were buying antifungal cream for their hands. Yeah, people have been washing their hands more often than they ever have before. The trouble is, there's fungus in the tap water. If your skin keeps dry most of the time then it's not a problem, but if it's always wet... Then it starts to itch and crack and peel, and moisturizer makes it worse... You put antifungal cream on the itchy part, and then you go wash your hands again... You wind up washing the medicine off your hands. Oh, I'm not saying don't wash your hands. I'm saying, don't wash the medicine off your hands! And try to keep your hands dry!
