While my sister Ellen over at the Happy Wonderer was having Lopsha for dinner at her house, I was having dinner at my mom and dad’s with my oldest sister Kathy, my nieces, Michelle and Melissa and of course Jack, Michelle’s son .
We were cracking up because my mom said that she had short notice and couldn’t make much for dinner. Here’s what “couldn’t make much for dinner” looks like at my mom’s:

The menu: A persian soup called Âb goosht an everyday, economical meat based soup with garbanzo beans and tomatoes and whatever else you want to add. This soup was a meal in itself – but not at Mom’s! She threw together some beef patties (katlety), corn, vegetables and our favorite salad – cucumbers and tomatoes. Yummy!
But wait, you can’t forget dessert! Mom whipped up some wonderful phyllo bowls filled with a pudding and cream cheese mixture topped with a fresh strawberry sauce! Delicious!
You gotta love going to Mom’s for dinner! Now, aren’t you wondering what we could have had if she had more notice?
Here’s my favorite picture of Mom and Pop:
