To the person searching for "recipe for Muslim oil" I am a bit baffled. I hope you are not looking at rendering some hapless Mohammedan. We must fight that horrid heresy, but rendering is over the top. Perhaps you mean the black stuff from which we make gasoline? In which case the best recipe is invade and take the stuff. Letting them sell it only fuels death and the spread of Mohammedanism. If you are looking for a food thing, then you are going to have to be more specific. Not counting Western apostates (whom I really cannot object to rendering - every rule seems to have an exception), Mohammedanism covers a lot of ground, from Morocco to Indonesia. I have recipes from North Africa, from Syria, from Turkey, from Pakistan, etc. All sorts of flavoring oils and cooking oils, so you have to be more specific.

To the person looking for the key that has three flats, the easiest thing to remember is: B-E-A-D-G-C-F. For the Major key, look to the penultimate one in the number you get to, so for three flats, B-E-A, and the answer is E flat Major. For minor, then go down a minor third, so c minor. It is not really correct to call a mode a key, but if you were, then you could be talking about g phrygian or even d locrian, although the locrian mode doesn't really exist.
