The story behind this recipeIt was my 23rd birthday. I was in Army (In my country everybody should go to army for 1 year after uiversity) and listening to Three doors down - Here without you. Away 500 km from home and still 8 months are remaining. And suddenly someone called my surname.
-Mirzazada, someone is waiting for you at gates.
I was surprised. Who could it be? At 11 pm.
I went to gates. There was a man waiting for me.
- Are you Miryusif?
- Yes
- This package is for you.
It was a gift box - surprise from my parents. They have sent me a birthday present. What is the best present for soldier? Of course house meal! Directly from my mothers hand! And who knows me better than anybody (At least my taste :D ) Of course my mum! She has sent me a CHICKEN LAVANGI and pickled cucember and some other things.
I was so touched. It was my best birthday, and i think it will be the best. That evening we sat with friends and ate our birthday meal, and dreaming about civil (non-military) life, which was waiting for us after 8 month
