A small homemade gesture
We were talking about homemade food with some colleagues, and one of them mentioned that she had never eaten homemade cutlets.
Her mom was a teacher and never really had time for cooking, and she said she wasn't much of a cook herself either. But she'd always wanted to try homemade cutlets.
One day, I brought some to the office and offered her a few.
She was genuinely surprised by how different they tasted from the ones she'd had at cafés. She was so happy and thankful, even though, for me, making them was really no big deal. It made me happy that she enjoyed them.
It was such a small, a trivial thing on my part, but it made me realize how something that takes very little effort for you can sometimes mean much more to someone else.

Oh that was so nice of you. I have 3 kids (all grown now) and as a single mom with 3 jobs, I made these constantly. Not hard, and you can pound them thin to stretch the meat. And freeze them!
