Lol.. oh, I see it now..

Safron marinated chicken breasts.. That sounds heavenly. Right, I'm moving to Sari on the Caspian coastline to start my own restaurant. Its name will be, in Farsi, The Teacup Cafe and Inn of Joyous and Delightful Feasting.

Translate please

Qha'veh knooneh-e-mehmoon navaz e eshgh o alaghe'yeh ghaza Khordan.

I don't have persian script on this computer so I can't write it out for you.

I have family in the city of Sari. It's a wonderful place and the seafood is delightful. *slurp*

Aw christ, I am homesick. Arg.

Aw sorry! It looks spectacular that place. Sunshine, coastline, everything! I'm def going there. *Checks places-to-go-list*

Awesome name tho! 'Qha'veh knooneh-e-mehmoon navaz e eshgh o alaghe'yeh ghaza Khordan'.

Mind breaking up the words for me so I know what each stands for too?

It'll be painted in big blue letters on a large wooden sign (like the Prancing Pony) hanging out from a white limestone-ish wall (coastline colors) and the speciality will be Safron marinated chicken breasts

I need to learn Farsi!

"'Qha'veh knooneh"- The Coffee and Teahouse (qha'veh knooneh)

"-e-mehmoon navaz"-and (e) guest (mehmoon)-house/welcome (navaz)

"e eshgh o alaghe'yeh"-of love/joy (eshgh) and (o) delightful (alaghe'yeh)

"ghaza Khordan" - food (ghaza) eating (Khordan)

To say "Teacup" wouldn't really have much by way of meaning, but I will see if I can find a translation that can work that in and still make sense.

Not really, all told it will probably be shorter in script than the english counterpart. I'll write it at home and then scan it and post it.

Thanx a dozens

I've decided during my walk home from the Uni a few features of "The Coffee and Teacup Cafe and Inn of Joyous and Delightful Feasting".

There will be a white-painted stone terrace opening out from the restaurant, preferably towards some body of water with the floor of the terrace adorned with the occasional ceramic tiles with exquisite calligraphic compositions

On the terrace wooden tables and chairs, and two-three salon groups, all of a darkly coloured (mahognyish shade) treetype.

The menu has a rich variety of seafood from the Caspian Sea, including an outlandish addition of some exotic food.. like Norwegian salmon lol. The safran marinated chicken breasts are of course the top notch stuff on the menu!

Lined up in front of this terrace are tall, widely spaced palm trees (means some costly landscaping I would guess). There is also a second floor, with the restaurant facing west towards the setting sun..

Heh, sounds like more than a few of the qhaveh khoonehs and ghaza khori's that I know of in the area. I would gladly frequent such a place!

I'm hungry, and that picture with the saffron chicken a couple pages back isn't helping.

Hehe, I had to go to a primary school today as part of the curriculum. I expected little horrors and annoying flashbacks, but all in all it was pretty fun. The kids were nice too.
My fear of having to teach a class of kids has gone done a bit too even!
Though I still never want to have a job as a primary school teacher... >_<
