My apartment is looking very girlie here. I am thinking that some of her clothes and shoes can be used to decorate my apartment. Those colours really go well with my books.
Chocolate & Green Tea Pudding
- 1 cup chocolate soy milk
- 1 tablespoon loose green tea leaves
- 10 ounces (one bag) semisweet vegan chocolate chips
- 12 ounces silken tofu
- 1/4 cup soft tofu
- 2 tablespoons matcha tea (green tea powder, available at any good tea shop), optional
Pour the chocolate milk and tea leaves into a small pot and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let the chocolate milk cool. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (or you can do this in a small pot over low heat, stirring constantly).

The ancient Persian Goddess “Aredvi Sura Anahita” the divinity of Water associated with Fertility, Healing, and Wisdom in the universe. She is also associated with War, Protection, and Peace. Anahita means “the immaculate one”.
Sculpture was first created by my grand uncle Jallil Ziopour. He was a Fine Arts university professor, cubist artist, and anthropologist. I think he reproduced the sculpture of Anahita based on his many findings during his excavations in Iran (not too sure which area exactly. ) He gave me that print in person when I was 6 or 7 years old.
The date on the artwork says that it was built about 50 or 60 years ago. ( notice the beautiful Alien shape eyes! )
His reproduction of Anahta was later on destroyed by his first wife over relationship issues. My uncle, being a visual artist, was always surrounded by beautiful women and models, and that didn’t have the best effect on his marriage.
So that small print is perhaps one of the very few original ones left from that amazing art work, and perhaps how Anahita might have looked like.
Also a good indicator that Persians worshiped much better looking gods before the Arabs take over and enforce their ideology on people for the next 1400 years.

It was my Dad’s 58th Birthday. We made this movie using the isight camera on my MacBook Pro.
So … 1, 2, 3, 4, … 58!

I can’t believe I am doing this. When I was a kid we use to live in UK where my parents were just married and both university students. My dad just got his first stereo and record player, and that’s when I got introduced to ABBA. My dad still loves ABBA, it makes him feel like a young university student even after 29 years.
I confess I like ABBA music too, their songs still make my hair stand. These videos are pretty cheesy, but they are original. Thank goodness for youtube!
