What To Eat: Lunch

My Zero-Effort Kimchi Pickled Eggs were a hit! Just like when I'm obsessed with a song I listen to it until it literally repulses me, I'm more or less living off these tasty little guys. And frankly, nobody wants to hang out with me. But I'm okay with that, and here are 8 totally legitimate reasons why. 

I've addressed a lot of Japanese lunches in the past couple of years. The truth is, rice balls still need a rice ball mold, roe rice requires a trip to the Asian supermarket and you can't make made-up sushi rolls without a rolling mat. And sometimes training wheels in the form of saran wrap (and even then, sometimes they still fall apart). Temaki, however, doesn't require anything but your hands. Here are a few thoughts on making them for lunch.

I write a lunch column, I'm pretty sure my midday repasts are all deductable (or at least my accountant seems to think so). But even here in New York, I'm pretty good at keeping it under $10. New York is a city famous for quick, affordable and frankly delicious lunches you will almost certainly be eating at your desk — you take the good with the bad — so I thought I'd call out the obvious splurges for a day when one traditionally indulges. Or, you know, cries.
