My girl, Mr. Urban's mother and I made a ladies only date to visit a Nowruz Bazaar on Saturday morning.
I had planned the outing to plant some fun Persian culture into the UrbanToddler's life and psyche... they say you enjoy as an adult that which leaves a lovely impression on your senses as a child, and I would love for my girl to be able to enjoy her Persian Heritage as she grows up an American.
The Nowruz Bazaar was organized by the [Iranian American] Ladies Charitable Society, with the proceeds benefiting the Kahrizak Foundation. What a nice name the society has I thought...
And you must know that Persian ladies, especially of a certain generation, are meticulous in cooking, baking, crafting, homemaking, pickling, making jams and preserves, sewing, knitting... very Victorian indeed.
The Bazaar was lovely. Rows of beautiful jars of organic pickled vegetables, fragrant carrot and pistachio jams, the most perfectly sprouted wheat plates, gorgeously painted eggs and Persian themed arts for decorating the new year spread, Haft Sin. We bumped and bumped into good friends, embracing each other in warm greetings. It was exactly the image of a Persian Bazaar I wanted my girl to hold in her little heart.
