Sogol and I re-met in August after 10 years when she came to visit Seattle with her cousin Mona, who is good friends with Nava. When I found out she was living in Brussels, I basically accosted her with questions and harassed her for answers about life in Brussels. Yet still, she chose to be my friend and invited Pedram and I over for dinner this weekend. She made amazing addas polo, so good that I over ate and to Pedram’s horror, had to undo my pants button. But even that didn’t keep her from smiling her beautiful smile. I am thankful for her wonderful culinary expertise, grateful for her hospitality, and very excited for her friendship!
