Slept in this morning until 9:30 a.m.  I call mom every morning at 8:30 a.m.  I called her at 9:30 and she was fine.
Got to mom's around 10:40 a.m.  We had a light meal and then left at 11:15 for mom's hair appointment at 12:00.
After the hair appointment we walked up from 3rd Avenue to 4th Avenue.  Mom seemed interested in going to a restaurant.  I was surprised because it was a South American restaurant.  Anyways mom didn't really like the food except for the corn chips.  It was kind of salty.  We had a soup and a fish platter with beans, guacamole, salsa and rice.  Mom liked the soft tortillas too.
After we got back, mom was ready for a nap.
I did laundry and then stepped out to do some grocery shopping.  I decided to try a recipe that someone posted on Facebook.  I bought potatoes, mushrooms and Italian parsley.
When mom got up we had some apple pie that I bought from the coffee shop downstairs and ice cream.  My mom loved it.  Mom watched Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships on television.
I found a turtle neck sweater in my closet.  Mom liked it except the sleeves were too long, the body was too long and there was a mark left by a sticker that was on it.  I'll have to wash it and get it altered for her.  I tried to hem the sleeves, but she didn't like my sewing job.
We folded laundry together and then I started dinner.  I boiled the potatoes and fried the onion, garlic mushrooms and parsley in butter and oil. then seasoned with salt.  Once the filling was cooked, I fried up some hamburger which wasn't part of the recipe.  I mashed the potatoes and added butter, a raw egg and some flour.  I made a patty out of the potato mixture and added the filling of onion, garlic, mushrooms, parsley and hamburger.  The patty was too soft so I added a panko coating and fried it in oil.  They tasted okay.  Mom chopped up the cucumber and yellow pepper for the salad.
Mom only ate one patty.  She enjoyed the salad more.
After dinner mom looked at a photo album that I had made for her while I watched Jewel in the Crown.  After the show we went to buy milk and meat for tomorrow.  I forgot to buy a little milk to take back to mom's place.  I'll do that tomorrow when I look for a daikon.
When we got back I defrosted some blue berries and put some kefir on top, but mom said she was too full and refused to eat it.  She thinks she is too fat.
There was nothing on television suitable for her so I'm playing her favorite movie, "Home Alone," while I clean the kitchen and catch up on my e-mail.
