Why not tea?

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me.  I love you.

Tea, salmon and rice?  If the Japanese ate tea and salmon together, why not use tea in ramen?  So that's what I did for lunch: used a tea bag instead of miso.  Tea is essentially a vegetable broth which we normally consume with sugar.  I didn't use sugar but the usual savory items like seaweed, beef bone, salted fish, soy sauce, garlic, onion, carrots with a touch of MSG.  There was a ring of scum at the side of the bowl most likely from the fish, which for the sake of the photo, I removed with a swab of toilet paper (which the dumb ass cat stole and ate).  The result was a darkened and intensified seaweed broth.  It didn't taste strange at all.  It tasted like... a bowl of ramen.  The cats liked today's ramen.  They rated it 5 out of 7.  Usually only the boys and mama cat like ramen.

Harvesting the deep

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me.  I love you.

I was at the Tuesday market yesterday, and there was squid there.  Tiny, though.  I hate processing small squid.  The sea water around here isn't that deep,  so the squid don't get big.  There must be a lot of meat in the deep ocean.  Deep waters are so dangerous, though.

Movie night

 

Hi Natty!  Were you worrying about me?  Don't worry, be happy!  I love you, you're MY girl!  What are you drinking?  It's iced tea for me, no sugar.  Keep safe and healthy OK!

It's movie night again!  Please watch a movie with me!  "Alita: Battle Angel" (2019).  There's a quote in the movie, "Would you rather be a slave in heaven or a ruler in hell?"  The trouble with this life is that all of it is hell, with maybe a few glimpses of heaven.  Unless you can get a man to go through hell for you so you don't have to.  In this movie, Alita is the girl.  Isn't it interesting how technology changes in just a couple of years?  Alita's eyes are on cell phones everywhere now.  If they had waited a couple of years, they could have saved millions on special effects.  This is a great movie and character.  Sequel, please.

The Antichrist

 

Hi Natty!  Hi Honey!  How are you feeling today?  I think about you all the time.  I love you with all my heart.  I hope you are keeping safe and healthy over there.

In Islam, the Antichrist is known as the "Dajjal".

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

94.  They will present their excuses to you when you return to them.  Say you, "Present no excuses, we shall not believe you: Allah has already informed us of the true state of matters concerning you."  It is your actions that Allah and God's messenger will observe.  In the end will you be brought back to God Who knows what is hidden and what is open.  Then will God show you the truth of all that you did.

The Repentance 9:94

Qur'an 20231211

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

1.  Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind".

2.  The King of mankind.

3.  The God of mankind.

4.  From the mischief of the whisperer who withdraws.

5.  Who whispers into the hearts of mankind.

6.  Among jinns and among men.

Mankind 114:1-6

Fear of death

 

Hi Natty!  What are you thinking about?  I guess it's busy for you over there.  So please make sure you take good care of yourself, keep safe and healthy.  Everyday is busy for me, or it isn't, depends on where you're looking from.  I have to work everyday without holidays, so I must pace myself and take time to relax.

It's more important to fear Allah than to fear death.  Yet some people want to live forever, without ever dying first.  Eternal life is not for this life.  Old age is proof of that.

Qur'an 20231210

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

1.  Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn."

2.  From the mischief of created things.

3.  From the mischief of darkness as it spreads.

4.  From the mischief of those who practice secret arts.

5.  And from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.

The Daybreak 113:1-5
