- Lawyer Loves Lunch
- I was never one of those little kids that dreamed of being a ballerina or an astronaut. That's probably a good thing because knowing their first born wanted to be a ballerina would likely have sent my Pakistani immigrant parents packing for the motherland. I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer, defending civil rights and otherwise saving the world. I just didn't realize it would entail working 60 hour weeks, researching legal minutiae at all hours of the night, and contemplating case law in the shower. Hey, no one said saving the world was easy!
One day, I looked around and realized that all of my friends had the same glazed look in their eyes as they glumly ate their microwaved Lean Cuisines. We looked content (because let's face it, make up works wonders) but underneath, we were a group of 20-something, professional women, with no hobbies, no free time, and certainly, no lunch options.
I started cooking (and writing) to maintain some semblance of balance (and sanity!) in my otherwise chaotic life. Along the way, I've met some great people, had some fabulous adventures, and have certainly expanded my lunch options.
