Flame, a Persian Restaurant with a Jonathan Gold rave review
Thank You, God for really GOOD FOOD! Yesterday it was Persian Food. It was like the Lebanese and Vietnamese in that they eat lots of fresh herbs. How did it happen, God that American’s just put a sprig of parsley on the plate?
Hmmm. Shirl Bramhill said that the English used to use fresh herbs. But then when canned food came in to existence people stopped using herbs — to show that their food wasn’t slightly over the edge and needing herbs to hide that spoiled taste. “Progress” strikes again!
It makes me think of what Michael Pollan said — all traditional foods support healthy life — except the American. We American’s have turned food over to FOOD MANUFACTURERS. We could use some help here, God.
a mostly eaten Persian salad
Suz and I had eaten most of this simple salad before I thought to take the photo. The the walnuts had been presoaked in water to remove that slight walnut bitterness. And the pile of herbs didn’t need dressing. FRESH! So fresh and so GREEN.
I really want to do more with herbs, God. I want to eat more greens and more FRESH FOOD. You devoted a whole Book to what to eat and what not to eat. And from that book came Kosher food and Halal meats. What about me? What can I do? And, You are so right in whispering that I might START by reading Becky’s cookbook — The Blonde Vegetarian. Your wisdom is at hand — if I will open my eyes.
Please, God, Help me to Open my eyes and apply what I see to my ordinary — far too routine — life.
