We found a cute shop called Pink Arrows where Mom found a comfy pair of Christmas Sweats. Turns out, Mondays and Tuesdays most businesses are closed down on First Street. I was hoping my favorite One House Bakery would be open because my Mother has never eaten there.
Today, we explored Benicia after our waffle making effort. We watched Chef’s Table:Pizza on Netflix and the Great British Baking Show Christmas Special and ate popcorn before our eyes got too tired to watch anything else. It’s not often I have my Mom overnight, so it was kind of special. Mom read me the ingredients and I put everything together. For dinner, I made grilled shrimp Caesar salad for dinner (her favorite), and we put together a cornmeal waffle batter from Tanya Holland’s Brown Sugar Kitchen Cookbook that sat overnight waiting patiently for us to cook them off this morning. She has had cancer treatments every three weeks for the past nine or ten years, so It’s okay if I miss a week here or there.
I like to bring her flowers whenever she has her chemo/immuno treatments, and I haven’t been as regular about that lately. We stopped off at the closest Sloat Nursery where she found the most extravagant huge white poinsettia. Her husband needed time with his grandson in Monterey, and my Mom doesn’t like to be alone. The last 24 hours I’ve been entertaining my Mom Diane. The weather has been glorious, so I’m loving these day trips and enjoying the time outside before the rains come. I’ve been all over New York, Napa, Healdsburg, and San Jose California.
