Translation to halal

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are safe and feeling well, and are enjoying yourself.  I'm doing OK over here.  I did my laundry this morning, then I did some kitchen work.  I don't have much cash right now, but I did manage to score some cabbage, string beans, eggplant, a couple of peppers and a carrot for RM5 yesterday.  So I processed that into a stir fry mix, but I roasted the peppers and kept them in the cooler.  I had ramen for lunch, using the fish head and kelp broth.  I tried using eggplant in my ramen for the first time to see how it would work out.  I suppose it's OK, perhaps it would have been better if I cut the eggplant into noodle-like strips.

Check out the video above.  I guess the guy is some sort of food blogger, and he can sure eat.  One restaurant after another, like falling dominoes!  Everything is delicious to him, and I must say that it does look delicious.  Especially the parfait.  Now I'm dying for a strawberry parfait, and they have nice strawberries in Japan.  All the food looks good, but the problem is that it's not halal.  And since it isn't halal, I have no desire to go there and eat any of it.  But food like that could be translated into halal given the right means.  Like the parfait and sushi, that would be easy to make halal.  Pork is impossible though, and if the restaurant had even only one dish with pig in it then the whole menu is contaminated.  Because of the kitchen.  Pork could be substituted with beef depending on how you would cook it, or chicken if you were cautious about subduing the taste of chicken.  Is it worth it?  I would just study the concept of the dish, then make my own interpretation that would be halal.  For instance, ramen with tonkotsu broth.  I substitute the pig broth with blended veggies that were stewed in beef bones, and add butter for fat.  Hey, if you didn't know what it tastes like then you don't miss it.  As for the native diner, he can just go where he usually goes to eat it.  But food cannot be 100% international if it were not halal.

The sensitive tummy

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  How's your tummy?  Oh dear, being a jet set supermodel has all the temptations.  While underneath all the glitz and glamor is a regular girl.  Perhaps you feel forced to try out foods because other people want you to.  That's the worst- you're going to have to be very strict with people like that.  Look after your tummy, Honey.  I'm guessing that it's very sensitive.  Even though you are face to face and can afford luxurious buffets, your tummy wants you to eat at McDonald's.  I have more bad news for you: an all fruit diet is very bad for you.  This includes smoothies.  Plus being busy and always on the go go go makes your tummy even more sensitive.  Stress!  Sure it's fun and a dream come true, but it's stressful.  You're going to have to keep it simple with your tummy.  Turkey breast, fried chicken, white rice, sliced bread, mashed potatoes etc.  Boring foods only.  Be strict, or your tummy won't allow you to have fun and make lots of money.  You know what that means, right?  No food endorsements, unless:

Here are my picks from the Del Core SPRING 2022 READY-TO-WEAR collection.  Some of the models are too thin.  I can't pay attention to the outfit when I'm seeing how sickly the girl is.  Size 5 to 7 be the fashion industry standard!:

Qur'an 20220523

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

29.  Say, "The Truth is from your Lord."  Let him who will, believe: and let him who will, reject.  For the wrongdoers We have prepared a fire, like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in.  If they implore relief, they will be granted water like melted brass that will scald their faces.  How dreadful the drink!  How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!

30.  As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a righteous deed.

The Cave 18:29-30

Sunday

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope you are doing well, and keeping cool and calm during these busy days.  It's Sunday over here today, and it has been an active day.  Sundays are always busy for me.  I cleaned my mother's bedroom in the morning, and in the evening I cut the grass.

I made fried rice vermicelli for dinner.  I found a sample video for you of what it looks like.  The shortest video: the concept is the same all around, what differs is the stuff you put in it.  I had my raw rice vermicelli already soaking in water by the time I finished cutting the grass.  Rice vermicelli comes dried.  First I fried up a crude omelet.  Not as crude as the guy above, mine actually looked like an omelet even though I planned to throw it back in and chop it up into the mix.  Then I fried some chopped garlic then my stir fry mix, which is cabbage, Chinese cabbage, green beans and red hot chilli peppers.  I dumped in the ramen broth I made the other day from a salted fish head and kelp, turned the heat to high, and let the veggies steam for a bit, then took them out with a strainer on a stick.  That left just the broth, and I added some Mae Pranom (Siamese tamarind paste commonly used for tom yum) to it then the rice vermicelli.  Stir it up and let it brew until the broth evaporates, then mix in the veggies and omelet.  It was a heavy-handed effort since I just got done cutting grass and wasn't in any mood to cook, but it turned out successful.  It didn't need any extra salt, the ramen broth carried the dish forward.  That broth is good stuff.  I have to use it for ramen someday.

I don't see designers nowadays using garter belt and stockings, but I love it.  Say Natty Honey, have you ever thought about wearing a garter belt and stockings on a daily basis?  The dress here isn't the best quality even though it's mesh.  The belt is drawn on, not a wireframe.  I love the boots, I've had them in Mary's inventory since 2016:

Qur'an 20220522

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

21.  Thus did We make their case known to people, that they might know the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment.  Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair.  Said, "Construct a building over them."  Their Lord knows best about them.  Those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."

22.  Saying they were three, the dog being the fourth among them.  Saying they were five, the dog being the sixth, doubtfully guessing at the unknown.  Saying they were seven, the dog being the eighth.  Say, "My Lord knows best their number: it is but few that know them."  Enter not therefore into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear.  Nor consult any of them about the Sleepers.

23.  Nor say of anything, "I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow,"

24.  Without adding, "So please, Allah!"  And call your Lord to mind when you forget, and say, "I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer than this to the right road."

25.  So they stayed in their cave three hundred years, and add nine.

26.  Say, "Allah knows best how long they stayed."  With God are the secrets of the heavens and the earth, how clearly God sees, how finely God hears!  They have no protector other than God.  Nor does God share God's Command with any person whatsoever.

The Cave 18:21-26

Mass opinion

 

Hi Natty!  Hi Honey!  What's going on?  I'm sure you are busy.  Please eat and rest adequately, and take care of your health and safety.  I'm having a lazy evening.  The morning was busy for me, just doing essential housekeeping, but now I'm only motivated to being lazy.  I watch a lot of YouTube, and I see all these people busting their butts for a little attention.  I guess I don't really appreciate fame like they do.  I give my fame to Allah.

That ramen stock I made from a salted fish head and a piece of kelp has turned out to be an awesome flavor enhancer, which I use on vegetables.  Today's dinner was white rice with beef and broccoli.  Want some?  I'm starting to accumulate a lot of sauces.  I think it's time for experimentation.  But oh, I'm so lazy right now.
