I would ask you if your mom had a favorite meal, or something she really enjoyed eating that you enjoyed with her. Mom's greatest culinary triumph was corn on the cob. She had a secret source, and she'd put a big pot of water on to boil, call the farm, ask them to go out and pick her the smallest, whitest ears, and then rush home. She cooked the ears for just under two minutes, and they were superb. I've never had corn to rival hers, and I never eat an ear without thinking of her. (Mom called inferior ears, "horse corn," which is what we mostly get these days. )
