 Deep Thoughts

On Tuesday we had our author meeting for Book Club.  We read "The Lion Women of Tehran."  Of course this was right after the announcement of Dolly Patron's passing.  We all decided that Dolly was a Lion Woman.  A Lion Women is a woman who is comfortable in their own skin, courageous, generosity of spirit, true to their selves. It was wonderful hearing from Marjan Kamali.  My book review is here.

I made 2 Persian dishes for dinner before book club. In the book Homa and Ellie are taught to make Shirazi Salad. The recipe can be found on Marjan Kamali's website.

The sweet treat I made was Ghorabiah Tabriz which is an almond macaroon with chopped pistachio. This recipe was a challenge with egg whites and lots of whipping.  Glad I gave it a try.
