A night off from cooking

Once every ten days, one verified family in Karachi gets to skip cooking and pick a meal from a delivery service. They choose the restaurant, they choose what to order, up to a budget. Small joy, real dignity. After the order arrives, the family sends us a photo of the meal at their table so we know it was delivered, and we post it here with a one line note on what they picked and why.
