Dolmeh

One of the most favorite food in Iran is Dolmeh. It's mainly made of the fresh and thin leaves of grape vine.

And since it's made of fresh leaves, it's available just in about one month a year. So maybe it's the main reason of it's popularity!

The recipe is mixed of ingredients which contain half-baked rice and split pea, fried minced meat and onion, vegetables, salt and spices. Then you may put a small amount of it into scalded leaves.

A great unknown man

Today is the anniversary of Imam Khomeini, the founder of Islamic Republic of Iran. A noble man who was supporter of poor and inspired people all over the world.

He has had an outstanding childhood that we generally do not know much about it. As a child, He was being very smart and calm and loved learning new things.

He used to spend long time every day thinking and pondering. He started to read political news since a very early teenage years.

His aunt and elder brother who supported him in religious sciences and politics, showed him the way that helped him to think in a higher level than his age.

Considering his biography, I think he started his great movement just when he was a child by pondering, learning and reacting against rich land lords who used to govern people's properties at the time and were treating the poor farmers totally in a cruel manner.

He is one of my favorite heroes whom I respect and try to follow.
