today was the great day I opened my eyes and saw daylight!!!!!!!!!
ipue came to the postoffice to pick up her parcel.. it was too heavy for her and her son2 was with her for helping.. well, for me the parcel was too large and too heavy - I couldn't help her..... :-((

we came home to kuye ferdows, but ipue told me to stay in her room because she has still some guests, who will leave the same afternoon and then she will spend time with me how much I like.......
ok!!! I promised her....

and later we had a great eve, she showed me around, the house, the garden, my place..
and I told myself, how lucky I am!!!!!!!!

and later in the eve she explained me, that I have to hold out a very hard thing, to have a bath in the washing mashine to get clean to stay at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well - and so I did!!! and everybody loves me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great weather, great day, great apple-harvest!!!
we went today to another garden and there were soooooo many apple-trees!!!! full of apples, yellow and red, sooooooo many!!!!!!!!!!!
and we were invited to pick them, as much as we need!!!! wow, how generous!!!

http://ipuenktchenworld.blogger.de/static/antville/ipuenktchenworld/images/apfel1.jpg

first of all ipuenktchen made pictures - what else??  :D :p

http://ipuenktchenworld.blogger.de/static/antville/ipuenktchenworld/images/apfel3.jpg

her hubby and me, ZIZZI, started to pick up the apples... it was fun!! but my legs weren't long enough to climb into the trees... :-(((((( what a pity!!!!!!! but there had been ppl soooo tall that they didn't need any ladder!!!  :o

http://ipuenktchenworld.blogger.de/static/antville/ipuenktchenworld/images/apfel5.jpg

did you ever heard about SENJED???????????? It's a sweet powdery dehydrated silver berry also called oleaster fruit, mostly to find in central asia and nearly allover IRAN.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-h7-9p5yfkgQ/UmGcmkidgzI/AAAAAAAAc7I/KhcyHrCaaAE/s512/IMG_0621a.JPG

on the terrasse we had a yummy late lunch, and just when we would go back to tabriz, three more cars arrived and more ppl start to pick the apples... so we got busy with tea and pastry looking at them..  :D

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Ts2IQjCs3Vk/UmGcOcnFwlI/AAAAAAAAc8Y/plGL8EyZkYU/s512/IMG_0604a.JPG

while getting dark they served a great stew, and as the weather got cold after sunset, it was nice to warm up our hands and more..
it was a fantastic day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pN6tCabx4ec/UmbgfDH2hvI/AAAAAAAAdUU/AFfw5dScPoc/s512/IMG_0669a.JPG

later I saw beautiful flowers, looking like red cabbage, haha!!! ipue told me they plant them
every fall and stay sometimes even under the snow!!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qJarTLIFKPA/UmbglZf3RDI/AAAAAAAAdUc/j1aYmdpRwyA/s512/IMG_0676a.JPG

then we bought some *yufka*-dough to make some apple strudel to use from these tons of apples
at ipue's home!! I'll show you the pics for sure!!! promised!!!!!
ipuenktchen


Posted Oct 24, 2013, 12:44 am
hi, leutzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
today I made my very first APPLE STRUDEL in my life!!!!!! and ipue was helping me a bit.... oeeeehm........

pls have a look and you can learn it, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

first I cut the apples very thin... 

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-buHNohd04wM/UmhZAZad3II/AAAAAAAAdXE/laU4MZ40syw/s640/IMG_06

next I mixed sugar & cinnamon and then I washed the raisins! :-))))

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wIKnJXuq3wg/UmhZFnKo2-I/AAAAAAAAdXM/agpOREHu6X0/s640/IMG_0682a.JPG

then I met a tea towel on the table and a bit flavour on and then the dough and pretty joghurt on and then the apple-mix!!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hCTZwV8l3ao/UmhZSFkv5DI/AAAAAAAAdXU/nO12MTMwypg/s512/IMG_0684a.JPG

and then the *fight* began - to wrap it!!!!!!!!!! I got wholes and wholes and wholes, took more dough to close the wholes and finally instead of one lay of dough I used FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shame on me...

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FrIfKPvOZ2c/UmhbgSkvreI/AAAAAAAAdYg/RiJfo_AR0K0/s640/IMG_0685a.JPG

but I won the battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)))))))))))))

Posted Oct 27, 2013, 7:42 pm
hi, leutz!!!!!
not that pretty nice weather, but ok.......... and as ipuenktchen had some things to do downtown I hope she ask me to come with her and so she did!!!!

:D

at first like usually at the main post office - where else????!!!?!? she went up to the 6th floor and it was so great to have a bird's-eye-look over tabriz!!!! I didn't understood why she wasn't courageous enough to get the permit to take a pic from there....!!?!?!? what a pity!!

later we went to the famous Blue Mosque, as she promised me days ago.. the khaghani garden was so beautiful with all the fall flowers!! and wooooooow, the mosque beside so impressing!!! built in the middle of the 15th century and destroyed in an earthquake in 18th century, they rebuilt it during the seventies of 20th century and they were just closing the dome when ipue moved to IR in 1976.

pls have a look around:

hi, leutzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
I made it, I made it, I made it!!!! I made it to tehran, the one and only capital of IR!!!! 14 millions inhabitants, what a crowd, what a noise, what a traffic, what a mess, what an air pollution!!!!! but it's beautiful at the same time, I can assure you!!!!!! we heard from radio in the taxi, that it was raining this day in the whole country, but lucky us, it was raining in tehran before our arrival!!!!!!

had you ever seen this funny traffic light manikin from tehran????

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UMrpH3tNTnk/Unb7gnwpNDI/AAAAAAAAd3Q/OQVj4B2oyaQ/s576/IMG_0856a.JPG

normally we don't eat any fast food... but this one is very tasty and always completely fresh!!! and so we did today before entering the bus back to tabriz!! in other case we would stay hungry all the way.. coz we started at 5.30 PM and arrived at home at 2 AM!!!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ai5qr2PMHh0/Unb7pgpF26I/AAAAAAAAd3k/gVRQquw9-R0/s576/IMG_0858.JPG

as ipue and her hubby were so busy all the day and we passed several times the tehran sign *AZADI TOWER* by taxi or bus I couldn't imagine to reach it to see it from nearby and could have a pic, even on a clowdy day like today!!!!?!?

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-m2g_p0M1xhY/UncBJ1nuoXI/AAAAAAAAd4E/jgBNoY0p4c4/s538/IMG_0879a.JPG

today yashila_81 and lili_6789 proposed a day out to ipuenktchen & her hubby, and so they did, got up at 7, leaving at 8 AM - first stop at SOFIYAN, we took breakfast at the park; there were nobody else!!!!! it was nice!!!! then we turned to the other side of the road and went into *nowhere*!!!?! it was so interesting, as ipue told me the landscape and nature changed immediately, it seems her like a desert, a salt desert - well, we are not so far from the urmia lake (salt lake) and beside the dam there it looks like here to QUM TAPPEH!!!! and had you ever seen such a plain landscape without any mountains?????????????????? in IR it's soooooooooo rare!!!!!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zEhXVzzTH-0/UoOixX7Q6OI/AAAAAAAAeJ4/nFoDOOARSxA/s512/IMG_1048.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AyB4N1xsIOQ/UoOi9vmpJcI/AAAAAAAAeKA/kgRbe0lAtW8/s512/IMG_1051.JPG

untill now yashila_81 didn't told anything to them, it should be a surprise... the vegetation got more and more desert-like!! sand everywhere and 1 or 2 kind of special plants, only to be found in deserts... suddenly a crowd of large wild dogs!!!!! they worried about us.. and later some shephards and a large sheep flock!!!!!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ujKOzGP2uss/UoOiuKSIb8I/AAAAAAAAeJw/wPHn_bBX94c/s512/IMG_1039.JPG

it was marchy, too, and for that reason unfortunately we couldn't get clother to the desert, it was too dangerous as they had a lot of rain during the night!! A pity.. some hills with real desert design, made by the wind... as you know from deserts!! later ipue remembered before she had seen photos in an exhibiton from this so called *kavire azerbaidjan*!!! doesn't matter - it was really a nice & unknown landscape!!!!

it was so interesting for me - I've never seen PVC-windows!!? and the weather was spring-like and we could pretty support the open windows - holes in the wall the whole day!! I'm so curious when we'll get back to tabriz!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!

yes, they worked so fast and now at 8 PM they finished the windows - but with a *but* like usual.... the factory only sent white silicon, but the windows are white only from inside, but brown from outside.. and they didn't sent brown silicon... so there is a reason we had to stay another night in tehran, waiting for the stuff in the morning to continue.............................................

hi, leutzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!

today ipue proposed a shopping tour and so we did!!!!
boah... what a crowd!!!! like in DE in the last days before X-mas!!!!!?!?! but nevertheless we did our tour and here and there we saw interesting things - for instance the protestant church, in it's yard had been the elementary school of son1 of ipue!!! in front of the church yard is now a new street with an entrance (one you may see on the pic!) at both sides for an underground multi-storey car park!!! when you come like ipue & her hubby not that often downtown you can find every time such *new things*!!! ;-)

next while looking for a dyeing mill we saw the ark, the ancient citadel, one of the oldest places of tabriz from 1.000 years ago, from backside.  and in the meantime we got hungry and spedially we TVs started to moan....... so we entered *Pizza2000* and each of us had a yummy food!! spaghetti with goulash and pizza with tongue and cheese!!

next we went to a famous nutshop and bought our nuts for the new year's visitors, the same some pastry..... ipue choose always a kind of pastry which is easy to keep for longer time, a wafer with a yummy peanut creme!

we asked some books from different bookshops, but didn't found what we were looking for... and so we have to go again downtown on SAT or SUN,.... because we need this as a gift!!! so pls stay tuned! bye for now!!!!!

hi, everybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
as it is the main goal of IR ppl to visit each other during the new year holidays, today it was ipue's turn to wait for guests!! and we were very excited what will happen....  the days before we saw she was busy to get nuts and cookies/ pastry and yesterday her son2 went to buy lots of fruits... and so on............... and when ppl are arriving you have to serve first the tea and cookies or pastry. later nuts and other sweets, and at last the fruits!!!!!!!! this is difficult coz they all don't arrive at the same time.. and you must not forget to whom you served whatever....

;) :o

as the place where ppl let their brandnew shoes is also very important for the ppl!!! and so I went to examinate them........

:D :p

the Azerbaijan Tourism Organization during the new year and summer holidays offers busses to have different sightseeing trips. and the meeting point is just nearby to ipue's home, so we met at 4 PM and started with a group of 10!!!

first we entered the seghatoleslam house, a house from olden times, and they offered for the tourists handicraft from different regions of this province! later we went to the ancient citadel ARK, an impressing old building from about 800 years ago in the middle of downtown!

from there we joined the constitution house, the meeting point of a kind of revolution about 100 years ago, with the sculptures of the famous local heroes sattar khan & bagher khan!

the last goal of this trip should be the laleh park mall, but nobody of our group was in the mood for shopping and so on, better we decided for an ice-cream - and so we did!!!! a nice and funny day!!!
