How to explain to your mom what an algorithm is?

I'm still not convinced with the answers at stackoverflow.com. I also don't have a good one and, the last time I explained what I do, both her and my sister told me a pity lie. I'm guessing the real problem is the transition from the algorithm to the computing machine but I'm not really sure.
