Happy New Year!

Photo courtesy:  My friend Rovshana Samadova. Taken in Washington D.C. Rovshana didn’t know it would end up on my blog, but as an avid hunter for anything pomegranate I spotted it in her photo archives and bugged her -  she was kind to let me use it. Love the pomegranates! Thank you, Rovshana!

Another year is almost gone, so unbelievably fast - at least, this is how  I felt. And another year is just around the corner. And I hope it will be a great one for every one of you!

I would like to thank all of your for making each year for me extra special - for it is your support and friendship what really fuels my enthusiasm for blogging. I look forward for fresh fuel in the near year as well:)

May the New Year bring joy to your hearts, happiness to your homes, success to all your beginnings. May there never be hunger in the world and may there be peace on earth!

On December 31 Azerbaijanis around the world celebrate another great holiday - Solidarity of World Azerbaijanis. Happy Solidarity, friends!

See you in 2012 - with more recipes, stories and pictures.

Love to all.

Card Giveaway Winners Announced!

Thank you to all of you who left comments on the Lovely Stains giveaway post. I loved every single one of your resolutions! Very inspiring! But I had to pick 2 winners. Because I knew I wouldn’t bear the stress of it and I delegated this very serious task to my 4-year old. I asked him to pulled out 2 numbers written on sticky note (not very creative but practical) with his eyes closed and he pulled Number 6 and Number 11!

So the 2 lucky winners of Ann’s beautiful cards are Vonda and Rachel Multari.

Congratulations to both of you! Please send your mailing addresses to feride at azcookbook dot com.

Thank you once again for participation, friends!

And thank you, Ann, for the beautiful gifts!
