Several years ago, my mother called to check on how I was doing (I was sick), and said that she would make me chicken soup if I were in Chicago. I said I wished she could. We talked a while more, then rang off. About an hour later, the doorbell rang. It was a nearby Chinese restaurant, delivering egg drop soup and chow mein. I tried to refuse it, saying I hadn't ordered it, but he showed me the order sheet with the correct address. It took me a while to figure out my mother had used Google to find the restaurant and ordered for delivery (in my defense, I was sick at the time). I was really touched at that -- and the restaurant, which I'd never used before, has become my go-to place if I want quick Chinese takeout.
