  5. The sugar lumps are pretty but I'd never eat one. The pistachois are one of my favorites though!
    Lucky you to find a mandala box. It was meant to be!

  7. Wow Marianne! This is beautiful. Can you imagine doing those little sugar lumps...might be kind of fun, actually. :) And the nuts look yummy, too! And the cookies in the mandala box - how amazing is that? It is all so colorful...well, I guess the nuts are not all that colorful, but look at the box for the cookies, too!

    This is great fun!

    Thanks Marianne!

  10. i myself haven't seen such sugar lumps... but they make me sad... lots of coloring... these days Iranian people use lots of artificial things in their foods and they are more sick...

    unfortunately their love for fancy things is not limited to foods... their makeups...clothes... cars... house decorations... they spent lots of monery for unnecessary and unhealthy things... and disregard some very imortant things like books...
    you know crows are not good companions when you travel... they are mostly fond of sightseeing...
    :D

    the cooky is called Sohan... and the main ingredient is wheat sprouts... it's very yummy and very nutritious...

    the design on the box is taken from one of our handcrafts called Khaatam... the artist shapes those geometric designs by putting tiny little pieces of wood together and then polishing them...
