I am preparing for a dinner at my house tonight. My good friend, Mersedeh, is here from Southern California this weekend. Poor baby, she has been chopping and mincing and cutting things for me all evening! She is working on the pomegranates now, as this is a very popular dessert item. I thought this picture would make for a good progress report. Well, to be fair, it is "Mersedeh's Progress Report!" Of course, someone has to take pictures and write blog entries, so I take that part on! I just love the excitement of a house waiting for dear guests. Life is good.

Progress Report
I am preparing for a dinner at my house tonight. My good friend, Mersedeh, is here from Southern California this weekend. Poor baby, she has been chopping and mincing and cutting things for me all evening! She is working on the pomegranates now, as this is a very popular dessert item. I thought this picture would make for a good progress report. Well, to be fair, it is "Mersedeh's Progress Report!" Of course, someone has to take pictures and write blog entries, so I take that part on! I just love the excitement of a house waiting for dear guests. Life is good.

have fun dear Nazy
سلام نازی.یکی از زیباترین عناصر در "روح" یک خانه یا خانوار یا خانواده ،همین انتظار یک عزیز است.و این بالاتر از میهمان نوازیست.آفرین.این عنصر شاید کمی کمرنگ شده باشد اینروزها.اینطرفها میگویند:مردم به روی گشاده جایی میروند ،نه به در گشاده.رویت همیشه گشاده باد.
سلام نازی جان
خوبی ؟؟؟
انار یکی از میوه های مورد علاقه ی منه ....
البته نه نوع دون کردش !!!!
من دوست دارم انار رو چهار قاچ شده با دندون بخورم و تمام لباسام بشه اناری بعدشم تا 4 روز دستم سیاه باشه !!!!!!
راستی می دونی ما تو فامیلمون مخصوصا سمت پدری مراسم خاصی برای انار خوردن داریم یعنی روی فرش وسط زمین یه سفره ی بزرگ پهن میشه و همه مهمونها می شینن دورش و دو سه جعبه انار رو یکی چهار قاچ می کنه و همه می خورن و کلی لذت می برن ...
البته راستش رو بخوای نازی جان این مراسم مال اون زمانی بود که ما ها بچه بودیم و تجمل زندگی اینقدر وارد خونه ها نشده بود ؛ کسی مجبور نبود روی فرش هاشو از ترس خاک گرفتن و کثیف نشدن نمی پوشوند ...
این قضیه مال اون موقعیه که حداقل هفته ای یک بار همه ی فامیلی که حدودا 80 نفر میشدن ( سمت پدری ) دور هم جمع می شدن ...
این حرف ها مال اون موقع بود که دختر های فامیل که یکیشون خواهر خود من باشه ترس این رو نداشتن که آرایششون خراب میشه وقتی انار می خورن !!!!
آره نازی جان شاید این حرفها رو نباید اینجا می گفتم و شاید کمی نمیدونم فقط اینو می دونم که انار برای من یاد آور خاطرات خوش کودکی است ، لحظاتی که تکرارشون برام مثل یه رویاست و فکر هم نمی کنم با مشکلات امروزی دیگه تکرار شدنی باشن ...
خیلی ممنونم که با این عکس زیبات خاطرات کهنه ای رو زنده کردی و داغی رو تازه
شاد باشی و موفق
Pomegranates are the BEST fruit on earth and perhaps even in heavens!
سلام
میبینم که همه مثل من دلشون برای انار نازنین آب شده..
وای
یاد اون وقتا که ایران بودم به خیر صندوق صندوق انار میخوردیم..
همت کردی نازی جون مثل بیشتر ایرانیها سنگ نمام گذاشتی..خوش به حال مهمونها با ابن صاحبخانه صاحب دل نازنین!
راست میگه دوستمون...طرفای سیرجان میگن مهمون از دل باز میره وارد خونه میشه نه از در باز!
ممنون برای یادآوری خاطرات و خسته نباشی!!
Nazy Joonam:
I hope you have a wonderful belated Thanksgiving gathering!
The anar looks soo delicious~
به به چه انار خوشرنگی... دلم خواست. ما الان یه هفته است میوه نخوردیم... به علت دلدرد خانوادگی...خوش باشین و به جای ما حسابی انار بخورین. راستی اگه به سینا بگین بیا بریم انار بخوریم می گه : آره بریم! انار دوست دارم
Nazy Joonam:
I wish this blog had a live video feed so we could see your party!
I am waiting patiently for pictures~
I keep refreshing your blog to see your new post :)
نازي عزيزم
اميدوارم اين چند روز به خوبي و خوشي سپري شده باشن... مطمئنم كه اينطور بوده
من چند وقتيه در مورد زندگي در ايران و زندگي در خارج از ايران تحقيق مي كنم
از افراديكه مي شناسمشون و ديدگاهشون برام مهمه مي پرسم كه اين دو مقوله رو چطور آناليز مي كنن
خيلي خوشحال مي شم اگه تو يه فرصت مناسب در اين مورد پستي بنويسي
مزايا و معايب اين دو نحوه زندگي چيه؟
به نظر شما كدومش ارزش داره كه اونيكي رو فداي خودش بكنه!
Salam Bar Halat-e-Aziz:
Thank you for coming. The pomegranates were the most popular desert. Hopefully I will post pictures of the rest soon, when I receive them from my friends. Jaye shoma khali bood.
Salam Masoud Jan:
Thank you for coming and for your kind comment. I believe the host has an easier job to do. It is the guest who does the harder job, because he or she could go anywhere, but he chooses to go to the host's house instead. A house with guests in it is a blessed home.
Salam Neda Jan:
Wished you were here.
Salam Farshad Jan:
Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful comment. It was interesting to read about your memories regarding anar! You know and remember those family traditions, so they are not lost. You can teach them to your children when they are born and they are old enough to learn. That's how traditions continue to live. Be good my friend.
Salam Jeerjeerak Jan:
I agree with you totally! Iranians have pomegranate trees in their backyards to bring them prosperity, calling it one of the heavenly fruits. Jahanshah proposes to eat pomegranates with plain yogurt (instead of salt and golpar). We obliged, and the results were "interesting." Let me know what you think if you get a chance to try it. Be happy azizam.
Salam Bar Marzieh-ye Azizam:
Hee hee, jaye shoma kheili khali bood! We had a fabulous time. Nothing compares to preparing for the arrival of loved friends! Come visit me whenever you can. I might have you clean the pomegranates like I did to poor Mersedeh, but I promise I'll do my part, too! Be happy.
Salam Assal Jan:
I'm glad to see you around here again. You are a breath of fresh air my friend. I'm sorry you couldn't make it to my house. I did think about you and how much you and Parham would have enjoyed yourselves. I was so busy, I didn't have time to take pictures, and my friends have been slow in sending me theirs. As soon as I have more, I will post them. Be good azizam and come back soon.
Salam Shin Jan:
It's a pleasure having you visit me again. I know about your family's illness, and I wish you a speedy recovery. Thank God for your mother's attention to you and Sina during your illness. If I were nearby, I would give Sina ANYTHING he likes to eat! (Yes, you are lucky I don't live nearby, or I would spoil that child rotten!). Be good azizam and my best to Mr. Alef and beautiful Sina.
Salam Sheni Jan:
You were really missed my friend! My guests did a lively game of pantomime and I can't remember when I laughed so much! Jat vaghean khali bood azizam.
Dear Anonymous:
