Food Story Time! I made matzo ball soup for lunch. Every time I make matzo ball soup, I think of Bubbie Ruth. She was my ex bf’s granny. The first time time I met Bubbie Ruth was the first time I tried matzo ball soup. She was cooking; I asked if I could watch. She used seltzer water and chicken schmaltz. Weeks later when we visited again. I offered to make her soup. She reluctantly said yes. I served it; she tasted. She was verklempt and said to her grandson, “Marry this goyem!”. 😂

Any tips on how to keep my plate full with work? I just moved from civil legal services to Biglaw as a staff attorney (9 YOE), and I’m looking for strategies on how to get work from partners. They know I’m new and I have gotten some matters to work on, but I find myself out of billable work by the afternoon (and today, by 10am). I check in with different people each day to ask if there are things I can work on, but what else can I be doing (that isn’t going to annoy the shit out of ppl)? TIA!

Any ladies purchase their dream home while single? I’ve been holding off from buying my dream home thinking I’d wait until I had an SO to share this significant expense- however, I’m getting tired of holding off and I’m in a position to buy.
