Found out the Iranian refugee will be here next

Wednesday! They were able to find her a mattress that fits an extra bedframe I have. Hopefully we can make her room cute and cozy. Please pray/send me good vibes..feeling a little overwhelmed; money is tight when it is even just me, will most likely be moving departments soon, and I thought they were going to provide a lot more for her than they are. I told them 3 months, to start..but she will likely need it longer.

You know any dishes that she might know and love?

@sstronaut I do not, currently..Iranian culture is pretty foreign to me, but I have gotten to know a few Muslim families lately....I do not know a thing about her except that she is in her 40s, and my SUPPOSITION is that she may be Muslim. So I know a littttleeee bit about that culture.

@foldedunfolding Iran is not Desi, but to my limited understanding, it's next door to the eastern side of Iraq, so just posting this to potential give some potential food ideas.

@foldedunfolding They love basmati rice and dishes made with it. Also thick stews that go with the rice, chopped salads made with cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, olive oil & lime or lemon juice, salt & pepper, kebobs of various types (chicken, beef, ground beef, lamb), and a lot of other tasty healthy foods. You can find all sorts of recipes on Pinterest.
