It’s akin to my culture’s adage of counting to ten when angry. If very angry, count to 100. In a Heinlein novel, the protagonist counted to ten in Sanskrit.
I did not know this:Marshmallows are typically made with pork or beef gelatin. The spongy candy is only permissible and suitable for Muslims if it’s produced with either halal sources, namely (1) beef gelatin obtained from Halal-slaughtered cattle, (2) fish gelatin, or (3) plant-based (carrageenan, agar-agar).
I used to love marshmallows, when a kid, but my adult palate can’t be bothered. It’s like eating cotton candy or something. The first bite is kinda fun, but then after that, no thanks. It’s just like eating spoonfuls of sugar. Ugh. Gimmie some ice cream please, butter brickle, mint chip, pecan praline with fudge swirls… I had some Cardamon ice cream the other day that was super good and unexpected.
Vegan marshmallows (as I am certain Halal are too) were expensive even before inflation. Factoring in gas prices to get there, evading the last minute Labor Day shoppers… I would be laying down too Huda!
Well, looks as if it’s time for her husband to get in the car (or catch the bus) and make a trip to the store! Otherwise, with her on the floor and all, supper might be a little late.

Huda did a strip once (or more) about finding a beloved treat with the right kind of gelatin. She practically swooned in the store.
