My 88 y/o mother lives with me, and I terrify her when I walk into the kitchen or laundry room.
She is an extreme separatist. She thinks all colors should b separated and placed in their individual piles. I throw everything into the washer together. Same with the food. She has separate pots and delicate placement of ingredients, spices, and dishes. Me, just one pot. It is all going to end up in the same place together anyway.
So she kicks me out.
Ahhh I never saw it as an enviable trait... It makes eating out far less enjoyable (it's difficult to sit there and wonder why you just paid a fortune for a meal you could do 100 times better) and back when I was young a great cook was no rock star...
The only thing it gave me was a place to go relax and enjoy myself no matter what the world was throwing at me at the time, and for that I'm grateful for it.
As far as your mom... Lol. Reminds me of my daughter. :) Mom's and daughters are never the same, but never that far apart either... Thanks for the story, you made me smile!
