Just-talking-out-loud

I just finished reading a very interesting article on Turkish cuisine. It was called “ Sufi Gourmet ”. I should say it was more about Mowlana ( Mevlana) though. I really enjoyed it because as the author of the article, Marcello Di Cintio , says "food-writing has to be about culture ". I learned new things about Mowlana today as well as tasty Turkish food. I recommend reading this article. Be aware of the content of this article if you fast these days. You might want to put it off until after eftar (sunset).

Shoreline ,1936 by Emily Carr- Photo from McMichael Canadian Art Collection- Vancouver Art Gallery This past week has been chilly but sunny. It’s made me to enjoy the September breeze as I walk in my favourite neighbourhood. It's nice to not drag myself out of the bed every morning because I'm excited about starting a new day. It's nice when I go to bed every night, I'm so tired that I fall asleep right away. It's nice to be busy again with challenges and to be able to enjoy them. Not much is happening but a lot is new to keep me occupied.

So much for this weekend and so much for my plans to study. I haven't touched any school work that I was supposed to read. Now instead of reading I'm writing here. Anyway, for one of my practical projects, I volunteered myself to classify and catalogue a number of Farsi books. This collection has been donated to one the universities here in Vancouver. I went to see the project manager last week. It's about 1 hour and half commute to get there. I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up for it. I believe when I heard they needed someone who knew Farsi, I was so happy that I didn't consider anything else. I didn't even consider the fact that I was not a huge fan of cataloguing. The only thing I knew was I missed touching Farsi books. Anyway, it turned out that the collection is consisted of 800 books. I'm not sure if I have the time to finish them all. I went to the storage area to look at the books. I saw the complete volume of Loghat Naameh Dehkho...

1- My friend Mélanie facebooked me today saying that she was pregnant. That was the best news I could hear today. She has been trying and waiting for this pregnancy for so long . I'm very happy for her. She is one of the best mom I know. she deserves all the happiness... 2- Lately I am listening to this . It is one of my grandpa’s favourite songs. I miss my grandparents specially knowing that my grandma has a bad knee and she is suffering. I am thinking of them... 3- Sometimes stuff happens and I pretend it doesn't matter and doesn't bother me. I smile and walk away. Now I'm sitting here wondering what I did wrong...

It seems that the blogging market is very quiet lately. I hope it comes back to normal.

Flirting comes naturally to some people. I'm not one of them...
