Hilda stopped by after taking her son Raffi to visit her mom’s grave, in honor of the 5th year of mom’s passing. On the other side of the frame is a picture in the same pose of Hilda kissing Raffi’s forehead. It’s a beautiful thing.
Hilda brought a Persian sweet treat most often shared at funerals and the anniversary of the passing of a loved one. It’s called halvah and it turns out there are two very different types, the kind you get at the deli made of crushed sesame seeds, and the Persian kind made with toasted flour. I’d never had the flour kind before(!) and it was delicious.
