She didn’t want them to run out.
That’s why she saved them. They were the last eggplant cutlets her grandmother had made before she died, and for this young woman they weren’t just another meal: they were one of the last things her grandmother had made with her own hands, just for her.
One day, she found the courage to eat them. She sat down, turned on the camera so she wouldn’t miss the moment, and tried the first one. Then she broke down: ““I don’t want these to be the last ones of my life,”” she said through tears. Every bite brought back the moments they had shared, along with the certainty that she would never taste that flavor again.
