This nails it on the head for me! I'm sorry for kind of a me, too
posting, but I am so strongly offended by being offered chocolate
chip cookies and being told that it's okay, chocolate being period is
so-and-so's whim, I could just scream. As I said in an earlier post,
we have five days of the week to eat pizza, cornchips, chocolate chip
cookies. I don't *want* them at feasts. I don't want to order a
hamburger when I go to a Thai restaurant, either!
