Re: Red Scarf
I'm curious about this one? Doesn't look like it was taken in Iran.
Is this taken in Iran? Out of curiosity, I see on your profile you are in the US. Are you there permanently or a student there temporarily?

Your assumption is totally WRONG.
I did not take it in Iran.
I DO live in USA.
How about you? Where do you live?

Whoa!? Did I say something wrong? My location is on all my posts - look top-right. I made no assumption - which is why I asked the question.Originally posted by kombizz View Post
I used to know an Iranian family very well here in England. Unfortunately the father died and they moved away. I can remember some wonderful food he cooked - especially chicken in rice with saffron
