We enjoyed first an appetizer of mirza ghasemi (not pictured), smoked eggplant dish with tomatos, garlic and
onions with some ground turmeric, dash of cinnamon, salt & pepper and olive oil.
Our main course was a bed of steaming saffron basmati rice and a beef stew, khoresht-e gheime, beef, split chick
peas, tomatos and paste, seasonings (salt, pepper, turmeric, olive oil), along with dried lemons that are left to simmer
in the stew and add a sour flavor
The second dish we enjoyed was grilled chicken breast garnished with saffron citrus glaze. served over lavaash, a
thin bread, with sprigs of mint and tarragon, a grilled tomato, and mast o khiar, yoghurt with dried mint, salt, and
cucumber, and of course sumac to add a lemony spice to the meal.
We headed to Dark Horse for some espressos. The barrista pulled a shot for me, then one for snow, and decided the
one for snow wasn't up to his standards.
Little did we know his standards consisted of warmed motor oil...

with the bubble tea and our snowman may soon be in possession of an iphone5
Miran was also to join us for lunch. But he was baned from attending this event, in accordance with Styleforum policy and
the will of the moderators....He showed up but security quickly had him removed (deleted from the premises). The only
remaining evidence was this fisherman's cap

I can confirm the hansomness of the shah. he eerily looks a lot like me (with a thicker beard of course!) . Somehow he knew more about the city that me
