I am one of hundreds of Aggarwals. I have a huge, silly, crazy and loud family and I love them to tidbits and pieces.
I am a dancer. I teach little children Bollywood dance and perform professionally with various professional companies.
I am an adventurer. Right after college, I moved to the outskirts of Bangalore, India, where I lived and volunteered at an orphanage.
I am a mermaid. I love water in all shapes and forms. I love to swim, hike, go to the beach and eat rainbow flavored snow cones. This is me at the peak of Mount Index in Washington. BEAUTIFUL – the mountain of course . . .
I am a painter and artist. I enjoy making handcrafted goods for my dear family and friends. Here is a before and after picture of a clock I made for my Nani (maternal grandma). The little photos are of my maternal family members (this is where you say: awwww, how cute!!!).
I am an attorney. I practice corporate and real estate law in Orange County, California. This is a picture of me with former California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno at my swearing in ceremony in December 2011.
And of course, I am a cook! I have never taken professional cooking lessons or gone to culinary school. I’ve watched my mom, Thayee Ji (aunt), Nani and Pops have fun in the kitchen. One day, I hope my grandchildren will come to me, like I do to Nani, and ask me to teach them family secrets.
Love, love, love, your new blog!
You are Niece Jack of all trades! Best of luck! Pizza looks so tasty! Can’t wait to try it!!
Aw, thanks Buaji! And I love that you signed your comment as “Smita Bua.” 🙂 Perhaps next time I’m in town, I’ll come over and we can make prizza together.
Very sweet blog Priya,
Thoughtful presentation of the food and flavors we all love.
Keep up the good work.
Love Malti Bhuaji
What a multi talented gal !
Thank you, Uncle! See you Saturday at the show!
Awesome. I am not much into cooking. In fact, all I can do it boil water. BUT I do love to eat, so it’s good to know what all you can make. So next time we meet, I’ll be expecting to be fed with some of your wonderful cooking.
Mama Ji
Hi Priya,
I am so happy to find your blog. Remember me, Alison’s mom! Sure you do, you were so cute growing up in the Meadowlands. I am so happy for your success. Best wishes always to you and your beautiful family. Love always, Karla Haeuser ( Tallerico ).
This looks great! Taking on veganism this year. Inspired by your blog and excited to try out some recipes 🙂
Yay Nikki! I’m coming up to San Fran February 2-5. Let’s have a cooking date or try a cool veg spot for din one night! ❤
Priya, you leave me speechless- in a happy, wonderful way! You are an amazing individual, life is all about various passions- keep it up.
Love,
Anu Aunty
