šŸŽTHE GIFT:

The ā€œyoā€™ mama's recipe" Gift

One year for my birthday, my girlfriend reached out to my mother and asked for the recipe for my favorite childhood home cooked meal, chicken piccata. Her version tasted about 80% as good as my motherā€™s, but the appreciation I had for her effort to make me happy was 110%.
