I only had homemade venison Stroganoff once in my life, but I remember it being the best venison I ever had.
I took my mom to Texas Roadhouse again today. I had 2 pork chops. She had a steak and ate like an animal. The waitress may as well have tossed it on the floor for her. She's in her 90s, so it's too late to teach her any table manners.
We didn't go Monday because she couldn't hear the phone when I kept calling all day to see if she wanted to go. Same thing Tuesday, so I went over to see if she was still among the living. She was sleeping on the couch, covered up with a blanket because it was only 88 degrees in the house. I woke her up and took her to the store, eventually. One of her hearing aids was wrapped in toilet paper in her coin purse. I still haven't found the other one. She hasn't heard much I've said in 2 days. Or 2 years for that matter.
Half of her foreign coins were missing from where I put them, but the sign saying, "FOREIGN MONEY. DO NOT SPEND." was still there. The other half was in a Ziploc bag with her other change. 1,000 pesos is an American coin, right?
I spent a good hour sorting it all out again. I found a 1952 George W. Carver-Booker T. Washington half dollar in it. I've never seen anything like it. The highest price paid at auction for one was $17,250. Hers isn't that good but still has over $5 worth of silver in it. It's good thing I picked it out of the bag. The rest of her American change went in a Coinstar machine and she had more than enough change to pay for her groceries, again. She had over $80 worth one time and we have to keep taking more change in.
When I went to pick her up today she was sleeping on the couch again, with the door not just unlocked, but wide open. Anyone could walk right in and take whatever they wanted. I told her she didn't need a coat today, but she filled her pants pockets with peanuts at the restaurant. When they were full, she started filling up her purse. It was enough peanuts to fill a medium size mixing bowl. No telling where she'll put the bowl.
My breakfast today was a gyro. They're cheaper if you buy 3 at a time and I have 2 left. Yesterday's breakfast was Thai style green curry chicken.
