We're moving!

This whole site is being moved to a shiny new server - as are all my sites, in fact. Apologies for the bumpy road ahead, but at the end of that road things will become fast and smooth.

Once the site at the new server is ready, this message will automatically disappear!

Meanwhile, you can see how the move is progressing at the status page.

Culinary pleasures

After arrival in Kāshān we go out for dinner in the Delpazir restaurant, which to our surprise is run by Jane, an English woman. She married an Iranian 12 years ago and came to live here. When we ask how she likes it here, she says: “I love it! I’m well respected.” Seeing her at work, it’s obvious she enjoys it, too. The restaurant serves traditional Iranian dishes; I try fesenjan, rice with chicken in an absolutely delicious sauce made of ground walnuts and (slightly sweetened) pomegranate; Jane tells us that in the Caspian Sea region the sauce is more sour than here.
