Father's Twenty-Four Hours Tribute - !کیک عشق - My Version Of Persian Beloved Cake

H5N1 few years agone when I was just starting to blog virtually the nutrient of my heritage, I came across an icon of "salad shirazi a dear salad, fesenjoon a dear khoresh or zereshk polow a dear polow together with I think, we should call it a dear menu!

In improver to my passion for Western Farsi food, which is clearly evident inwards this really personal spider web log of mine, I receive got too developed a passion for Western Farsi poesy over the years. Western Farsi poesy is equally fragrant equally drops of rose H2O inwards the air, colorful equally saffron threads together with flavorful equally cardamoms inwards their pods. That's what yous acquire when an Iranian food blogger writes virtually Western Farsi poetry! Among many of the poems that I grew upward amongst at that topographic point are a few that receive got made an everlasting impression on me together with are my favorites. I am a occupation solid believer that dear is the ability that connects together with holds all the particles together inwards this footing fifty-fifty inwards the darkest together with most challenging times.

روزی که می گرفتند پیمان ز نسل آدم       عشق از میان ذرات در جست وجوی ما بود

 غمام همدانی   

On the 24-hour interval of making a covenant amongst Adam's generation, "Love" amidst all other particles was looking for us.

My side past times side favorite verse form is a draw from a tale inwards the book: منطق الطیر - The Conference of the Birds by Attar.  It is virtually an sometime adult woman who wanted to purchase یوسف - Joseph when he was beingness sold to the highest bidder at a marketplace seat inwards Egypt, having exclusively a handful of yarns to offer. The sometime adult woman knowing that she couldn't afford Joseph replied to the merchant's ridicule:

لیک اینم بس که چه دشمن چه دوست       گوید این زن از خریداران اوست

 عطار

This is plenty for me that everyone, friend or foe, volition say this adult woman was amidst his bidders.

The side past times side verse form or rather a draw of a verse form is past times Hatef Esfahani known for his ghazals (ode) and tarji- band (recurrent verse) style of poetry. However, I would similar to receive got the freedom to say that for me this verse form stands lonely past times itself equally the best of the best to depict the mood together with the feeling of someone's dear together with devotion together with it has to live read several times over together with over to experience the musical rhythm together with the beat out embedded inwards the words. Perhaps, i 24-hour interval I'll come upward dorsum to this postal service and write a translation for it but then far I am at a loss for words to capture the essence of it. Therefore, I'll move out it without the English linguistic communication translation. My sincere apologies.

تو کمان کشیده و در کمین که زنی به  تیرم و من غمین      همه ی غمم بود از همین که خدا نکرده خطا کنی 

هاتف اصفهانی

I haven't written virtually my manlike somebody bring upward equally much equally I receive got written virtually my mother. One reason could live that I didn't pass much fourth dimension amongst him growing upward or rather he didn't receive got much fourth dimension to pass amongst us since he was e'er working then difficult together with was away from home. I was too long gone past times the time he retired. I don't intend I ever got a jeopardy to know him completely together with it's interesting that all I've learned about Baba's household unit of measurement history, childhood together with upbringing was through my mother! Baba was a fairly tranquillity human being who had suffered from many physical ailments throughout his life.

I clearly remember my concluding long distance telephone conservation amongst Baba correct earlier his passing. I had gotten the terrible intelligence virtually my father's deteriorating condition. Devastated, I called habitation and asked to have a few words with him even though I was told he couldn't verbalize coherently. Still, I needed to hear Baba's voice. I asked my woman bring upward to identify the telephone side past times side to his ear together with I started to plead amongst him to say something, anything, that I just wanted to take away heed him. His concluding few words were: move on your view together with shine it into a jam-e jahan nama (a crystal globe that reflects the world). These were Baba's concluding words, a short message of a self-realized life lesson that spoke volumes together with showed me the depth of his dear for his kid on his concluding breath together with for that lonely I am forever indebted to him.

For this recipe I had a duo of options, the get-go i was the chiffon cake amongst rose H2O icing together with candied rose petals. The minute selection was a unproblematic almond cake. I chose the minute version only  because it tastes to a greater extent than similar the sort of sweets I grew upward with, no-frills together with downright delicious. I've tweaked the recipe a picayune bit. Please come across my Pinterest link for to a greater extent than Persian Love Cake recipes.
