Not for me, but for the rest of my family.
For the past few weeks, I've been keeping a secret from my parents and my youngest brother - a visit from Anis. It's been so hard, especially for the past few hours. I called earlier, to confirm that they would be home for dinner, and was happy to find out they would be. And not just for any dinner, Persian food! My brother makes a surprise visit home, and there's Persian food waiting for him. How lucky is that?
I just got a call from the homestead. The surprise was a success. The family was floored to find another member standing at the door.
I wish I were able to give them another such surprise. A drawback of living 4500 miles away.

It was a cooking lesson for Naysan, who wanted to know how to cook fesenjan
