I used to work with a woman from Pakistan. She lives in this area and her
youngest daughter goes to school with Angela. I run into her occasionally.
I don't know if she still does but she used to live with her in-laws and her
MIL did the cooking. Every day she would bring in rice with golden raisins
in it. And every day she would make faces as she picked out every single
raisin. She wouldn't take a bite until they were all out. She used to be
very thin. She's still not a big person. Just not quite as thin as she
used to be.
