Afshin made plum vodka months ago using very cheap vodka (filtered through a Brita multiple times) and a bunch of plums from a tree in our friend Lucinda's backyard. He finally decided it was time to remove the plums, filter the vodka, and switch it from one bottle to another. He called for my attention; the filtration process was going remarkably well and he was justifiably pleased with himself. I looked up and saw that he'd taken several thicknesses of cheesecloth, covered the mouth of one bottle with it, and secured the cheesecloth filter in place with a rubber band.
"Nice work," I said.
"Yeah, it's all right," he said. He gestured to the cheesecloth capping the bottle. "It's called an Arab hat."
I couldn't imagine who, except maybe Afshin, called it that. Skeptical, I asked, "Do they really call it that?"
He burst out laughing.
"I should know better than to believe anything you say any more," I shrieked indignantly. "You jerk!"
