Yeah, isn't that weird?

I have too many things I want to cook for days in the week. My solution is to go to the nice grocery store right around the corner and see what they have that's fresh. If the trout came in today, that's a good opportunity for sauteed or baked trout filets. If on the other hand the butcher is in the process of cutting up lamb chops, then a nice row of rib chops will bake up well in the oven with Paul Prudhomme's cajun seasoning and garlic rubbed all over it. Good home-made chili is not to be despised either. And so forth . . .

I've never tasted Iranian cuisine. What is it like?

It really blows my mind when young women can't cook. It really isn't THAT hard. I had to teach myself because my mom, while she is a VERY good cook, never cooked. With our budget, I have to plan a menu for 2 weeks at a time, so I don't always have the luxury of going to the store and seeing what is fresh. :(
