What we made! 3 different types of torshi (pickles) + sohan ‘e assal (almond brittle) + our blend of ajeel (Persian trail mix.)

We also took our Blurb books.
I was too busy to be a good blogger but I did take a few pictures. My favorite is of the smiley adorable young volunteers! (These girls and all the children I met spoke zaban’eh shirin ‘eh Farsi which gladdened my itty bitty heart.)
I’m rather proud of what my mother and I accomplished in a very short time (with a good bit of moral and actual support from my father – including his integral stint as a sohan ‘e assal sous-chef.) I have to say that we were studious, we were organized, we were enthusiastically energized, and we were delighted to take part in the Children of Persia’s 9th Annual Walk event. There were many favorite moments, but the highlights of the day were seeing dear & cherished family friends , and meeting some really nice people and making new friends.
I wish I could write more (lots & lots to say) but alas there are more deadline crocodiles to be wrestled with (dammit, let’s hope I survive) and sweet sweet sleep beckons as well. I do want to give a shout-out to my wonderful blogging community for your amazing support. Thank you & I love you! Wish you all could have been there. And: I hope to catch up with your blogs soooooon! Until then, I leave you with this image of a still life with black grapes:
Still life: by my brother. Black grapes: by nature.
