5 minute soup!

I came home today and wanted something to eat with the pasta my husband made...lately I've been getting very efficient about having a real dinner after work, and planning and starting meals the night before. So I found a recipe for Stracciatelle , an Italian egg drop soup)

it came out delicious..I omitted the farina because I didn't have any..try it..it also benefited from a dash of black pepper..

2 large eggs
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons semolina (farina or Cream of Wheat), optional
5 ounces (half a 10-ounce package), frozen chopped thawed and well drained

Have soup simmering gently.
Beat eggs lightly in a bowl with grated cheese and semolina, if you opt to use it. Slowly stir in 1 cup of the hot broth and mix until blended.
If you are using spinach, add it to the simmering soup and cook for 2 minutes.
Bring soup to a gentle boil and beat in egg mixture with a fork so it breaks into clumps.
Let cook gently for another 2 to 3 minutes and serve immediately.

Allah's Mercy, Hofstra Eid Poem

Allah’s mercy is greater than his wrath....

That doesn’t give you the right to deviate from the path
Or live in the present
With the sins of your past

Your living for now, but how long will you last?

The battle for self, is deep and relentless

Before the calm, we must face the rising tempest
Don’t be alarmed, but shaitaan’s in the trenches
He’s got heavy artillery, striking with such energy
Steadily just tempting me
To drive me astray
Riding shotgun is no option
With shaitaan and what he’s concocting
Steadily he’s plottin’
But readily I’m blocking...

With prayer and patience
Faith and recitation
Of the Book of God is vital
To ensure my soul’s survival
For every sin I’m liable
So I face off with my rival
My hand’s cupped in supplication
Asking for salvation
Indeed,
Time is something man is truly spending wastin’

We must walk with humility
Talk with simplicity
embark spiritually
to a place of delivery

There is one thing I know for sure above the sun
No matter where you’re from
Or the places you may run
God is watching you and God is only one.

Far from the norm

The average spirit gets an image
That his lifetime is infinite
When really it’s been written
The duration of our visit
Is short-lived and short winded.

Dajjal has one eye, so he’s lacking depth perception....

So why don’t you perceive the thing that he’s neglecting?

It seems I have to step on egg shells to avoid hell

You think you’re free
So don’t put your body on sale
But you walk around with short skirts and halter tops
Lettin’ scum bags plot
To get digits to your spot

Mom and dad thinkin’ you’re such a good kid
But if they saw this mess you’re in,
They’d collapse from the deception
And become recluse in depression

So imagine the disappointment
You cause to your Creator
Disregardin’ his appointment
Thinkin your selfish cause is greater

Put life on a pause

Analyze and prioritize

It’s alarmin me
That to attain harmony
People go to such lengths
Livin for this world
Selling short your strengths
All for some kicks and some laughs
Not thinking this will not last

But there are those that return
Before they let their spirit crash
Within Allah’s Blessings, they begin to bask
And for those people.........

Allah’s mercy is greater than his wrath.
