Mahvellous! So, the burning question is, did the attention-starved lady
who thought you ought to give a flaming fandango about her food
preferences say anything to the effect that she'd been wrong, or you had
really opened her eyes, or did you get the impression she was going to
defend her misconceptions to her last breath?

Please, don't get me wrong, or think that I'm not thrilled by the
juxtaposition of a major success against a [possible] minor failure.
It's just that I feed children almost daily, and I can watch them grow
up, and that's a part of what sustains me. Chronological adults with
childish eating habits _really_ irritate me.
