Yesterday was Nowruz, the first day of the Persian New Year. My BF is from Iran and I surprised him my best attempt at haft-sin, a tradition where you set a table with seven items that start with the Persian letter ‘s’ (س). I managed to find everything except this particular kind of pudding called ‘samanu’ — I called a ton of Middle Eastern grocery stores but they were all out. It made him super happy, and I’m very pleased with myself
