Making Tahchin

Tonight, for the first time since early in pregnancy with Sam, I made a Persian dish called Tahchin.   As I was preparing it, I realized that I have in fact not made this dish in SIX entire years.   I found out I pregnant on April 12 six years ago.  I was so excited, and soon after, my morning sickness has become all-day sickness, and eating chicken was disgusting.  (With both Sam and my subsequent son, chicken has been a major turn off during the first half of pregnancy.)  Tahchin is a rice dish often made with chicken.   I know I made it that year, six years ago to take to the family Easter potluck, which was April 8th.  That morning I really suspected I was pregnant, but had gotten a negative pregnancy test.  Grandma said I looked "peaked" that day.   I talked to my cousin about the fact that tahchin has chicken in it so therefore not suitable for her vegetarian self.  

So . . . I have made the dish and added spinach to it this time.  I will enjoy the meal as well. It was just bringing up memories for me as I was preparing it.   They were good memories, too.

Still not pregnant again with another sub . . . although I need to wait almost another two weeks to see about this cycle :).  Maybe Tahchin magic?
