Hi Natty! Isn't nature wonderful? You look like you had a fabulous time. You and your gang look like the United Nations! I have to say that you are the prettiest one of the bunch. I'm sorry, that's my personal preference. But honestly Honey, I didn't know you went out camping when I researched today's post. I guess it's another one of those "coincidences". I just wanted to paint a picture of what it's like to be Mrs. Rock Star.

The chick singer
Hi Natty! How are you doing, Honey? I hope you are well and happy. Are you having fun being a big shot? A business mogul? You're the big shot of my heart, Natty. I'm doing OK over here. My legs are a bit tired, more tired than usual. I didn't do my daily workout because of it, but I did cut the grass over at my grandparents' grave. There were hardly any weeds there, so it was an easy task alhamdulillah. The neighbors' graves were overgrown, however. Some with thorns, and there was even this taller tree with thorns putting down its branches low. At first I thought it was a creeper but no, it was a tree.
I had spaghetti again for dinner. That basil I grew for the Great Pizza Day is still very productive, and I didn't want it to go to waste so I made marinara sauce with it. There were so many leaves Natty, the blender was stuffed up to its rim with basil leaves. Which made a terrific marinara sauce, I didn't even need salt because the basil was so strong. As long as the basil grows strong then it looks like I will be making spaghetti regularly. Pizza is too much labor and only worth it for the Great Pizza Day, but spaghetti is much quicker to deal with. I didn't need cheese for dinner, but I did add a little salt to it once the noodles were mixed in. Just a little. Want some spaghetti?

Just an average day
Hi Natty! How are you today? I hope all is well with you, and you are healthy and happy. It's just an average day here for me, not much going on other than the usual. I had to go downtown in the morning to pick up my mother's meds. Then I had lunch downtown: back to the place I always went for rice vermicelli soup. Omar had been closed for 6 months for fear of the virus. Poor guy. The virus is a sign of Judgment Day, so don't fear the virus but fear God. I was going to cut the grass at my grandparents' graves in the evening, but that didn't work out. Instead I made another batch of peanut butter, extra chunky! Then I cooked my dinner, a cheeseburger with fries. You know what, Natty? I love you no matter what day it is!

A very long movie
Hi Natty! How are you today? I hope you are doing well. I want you to know that I think of you always, and I long to be with you always. Try not to be sad, and I will try too OK? Yeah, sometimes it feels like we're in a very long movie. And I've been in that movie about 30 years longer than you. No, I don't want a movie to be made about my life. I just got done watching "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Now THAT is a long movie. About 12 hours long, and it took me 7 days to finish it. So why did Frodo leave Middle Earth? Because the ring killed him.

Qur'an 20210920
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
100. Say, "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good, even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle you. So fear Allah, o you that understand, that you may prosper."
(The Repast 5:100)
Hi Natty!
Wow, that's a great photo of you. I love your serious face. You always look great to me. You are so beautiful Natty, and I love you with all of my heart. It's Sunday here today, and it's been a busy day. I managed to record some drum fills at a very low volume. I'm having a lot of fun with this current project, making up for having no equipment with scientific trickery and changes of perception. Hee hee! I'm not going to talk about it. Let it be a mystery.
Wow, there are so many female heavy metal drummers in Japan. I didn't know heavy metal was that popular over there. The band names over there are very interesting. Junna is my favorite Japanese female drummer. She's got flair and charisma.

Steak and hummus calzones with curry dip
Hi Natty! Hi there, you beautiful creature! What's going on? I hope all is cool with you. Are you hungry? I made some steak and hummus calzones with curry dip for dinner. Yeah, I had to use up all that hummus I made. I actually tried making hummus calzones before, but it tasted incomplete. I so decided to push it further by adding meat and curry. It probably would have worked if I put the curry inside the calzone, but this way is a little more civilized don't you think? The dip is just mixed curries that I bought from Embun's restaurant at the crossroads. That's where I usually buy my lunch when I'm too lazy to cook. The calzones came out nicely, I think. Nice and round. They're about fist-sized, maybe smaller. Want one?
