Halloween ‘finger food’
Posted: 30 October 2013 Filed under: Memories & Events, Uncategorized | Tags: Halloween Leave a commentThis year for Halloween I got ahead of myself preparing for it, as I was eager to share something new in my Persian radio program at Radio Koocheh.
The cookies you see in the picture are called Witch’s Finger cookies as I am sure most of you know. I thought calling them “Halloween ‘finger foods’ ” would do it more justice though!
There are many recipes for it on the net. I tried the one suggested by Canadian Living” which I will copy and paste here as their website seems to be down at the moment:

What if you have to line up for it for an hour or so, and what if the sausage is not made on the spot? Would you still consider it “street food”? The way some of us have come to know taco trucks, pizza trucks, falafel and whoopee pies carts in New York, Seattle, and recently in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary?

Montreal Beer Festival

Montreal Beer Fest, held since 1994, from 29 May to 02 June at “Palais de congress”, starts off the summer and its many colorful festivals.

“Babak and Shahram”
Posted: 22 May 2013 Filed under: Memories & Events, Uncategorized | Tags: babak_and_shahram Video-colection_afsaneh Leave a commentBabak and Shahram have just arrived and are already up on facebook and Youtube, with two five-minute clips on their awkward, confused and hilariously funny encounters with life in North America!
The sitcom stands out for its wonderful acting, genuine idea, and refreshing & edgy approach to Iranian culture. If you are not a Persian speaker, you would probably identify more strongly with the third, non-Iranian character silently present in both clips; if you are a Persian-speaker, then you would feel all the undercutting nuances, and I am afraid you just got to live with it!
