All across the country, there are glimpses of an impending spring.
A break in the damp gloom of San Francisco... an afternoon of such warm sun in Manhattan that gloves and scarves become unnecessary... and in Denver, it seems possible to go skiing in little more than a tee shirt.
Moments like this serve as the first reminder that Persian New Year is creeping closer... I can almost smell smoked fish in the fragrance of a hundred fireplaces burning. Hyacinths bursting into bloom at the market remind me to start my sabz-e soon.
Last year, I shared a few traditions, stories and recipes; this year, I'll bring you more goodies, including a photographic journal of my purchases for this most revered holiday.
