      Even during those crowded days in London the Master never appeared tense or frustrated, wondering how He could do all that seemed to be required of Him. He knew His purpose and thus all things fell into their proper perspective. Before He left London in 1913 at the close of His second visit, He gave a talk at Cadogan Gardens, clearly stating that teaching th […]

By lessan | Published: December 12, 2005

Ghormeh Sabzy is an Iranian dish which is usually made with vegetables, beans and meat. I had some for lunch today:

 

And a tuna sandwich for dinner:

 

This was Mara’s plate – she was sitting next to me. Dunno, doesn’t seem like that much food:

 

And a drink (not mine) – I was trying to get the bubbles to show up in the picture:

Saturday evening at the movies. We went to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth in the series:

And to my right, including me:

 

Entertainment while waiting for the entertainment to start (the patented EinE experience), provided by Nintendo DS:

 

And of course some popcorn:

 

Wait, the evening wasn’t a total waste! Some more pistachio ice cream:

 

I actually quite enjoyed the movie, having seen the first three movies in the series a week earlier.

Dinner – Tatami

By lessan | Published: December 10, 2005

Last night, after the talk four of us went out for dinner to a Japanese restaurant called Tatami. The prices are a little expensive compared to other places to eat out, but the food is good. We started with Miso soup:

 

For the main dish we ordered the Tatami special - a mix of sushi arranged in a wooden boat:

 

The view from the back of the boat:

 

Here are Aram and Ross:

 

I’d just like to say that despite what it looks like, Ross enjoyed the food – he had just had a piece with a heap of wasabi. Here’s Quddus with a mouth full:

 

The green tea in these Japanese restaurants is amazing:

 

Here I am pouring myself some:

 

Very filling meal. On the walk home however, I couldn’t resist the ice cream. My favorite flavor: pistachio!
