Technical difficulties preventing me from posting with the regularity I'd like are about to be fixed forever (cross your fingers). There are about 5 million things i want to talk about.
In the meantime, check out this dreamy photo essay of fall foods in Iran. I've heard so many stories of this corn grilled right on the coals, and there are berries and fruits in this thing I've never heard about, and my God that bread!, and fresh pistachios, and those brined walnuts are enormous, and a photo of that elusive thanksgiving porridge, halim, and sweets, and so much rice, and pomegranate, and persimmons, and...
I couldn't sit through the whole thing, but the corn really is that good and so are the walnuts. Too bad they now come with a side of crazy fundamentalist motherfucker and are not as readily available as they used to be.
ReplyDeleteyeah alas. just when things were looking (relatively) good, they did a complete 180 and look really, really bad. hopefully the time that i can safely visit iran will come before the time the iran i'd like to visit is totally obliterated.
