Doug and I met this afternoon to talk about his demo for this Wednesday's meeting.

We decided on Chai-shirini, which is Iranian for "Tea and Cookies". Doug will be preparing cardamom and possibly rose petal (although the rose petal may be substituted with clove or cinnamon) tea and mamoul, which are basically stuffed shortbread cookies.

Some of you may remember the "tea party" we had when we read A History of the World in Six Glasses. This will be our Iranian take on it.

Remember that we are meeting this Wednesday, the 25th at 6:30. I hope everyone will be able to make it.
