Haji is dressed and has been waiting in the living room for the past hour

Never had pizza-sabzi but can vouch for alaf-ghormeh being good!
by Anonymouse on Fri Oct 30, 2009 03:39 PM PDTEverything is sacred.
First "peetzayeh ghormesabzi" and now ghormeh sabzi from alaf!!
by Anahid Hojjati on Fri Oct 30, 2009 03:04 PM PDTIn one of Kiosk songs, it sings about "peetzayeh ghorme sabzi" and now you write about ghorme sabzi made entirely from alaf. All I can write is "jalalkhalegh".
Thanks Anahid
by Anonymouse on Fri Oct 30, 2009 02:28 PM PDTYes you never know what may happen in these parties. These Iranian parties can be a blog series of their own! Stereotyping galore!
In one party I was offered alaf smoking through a homemade bong out of an apple! I guess after 30 years of smoking they have to try other stuff.
Back in my college days in one party they made a ghormeh sabzi 100% out of alaf! It tasted the same and since we were hungry and it also gives you munchies it was a feeding frenzy and we were fighting over it like a pack of animals!
Of course back then we were students and not chic or anything. These days these are business men and potato heads still smoking. I just pass but god help their akhar aghebat!
Everything is sacred.
Dear Anonymouse, you know that I love your Hajiagha series
by Anahid Hojjati on Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:52 PM PDTThanks for another Hajiagha story. What I like about this one is its accurate picture of an Iranian party with its required elements. You covered some of these elements in your story such as: guests arriving late to the party and the intense political discusions.
