I definitely don't have the patience of a saint I'm just trying to keep
the peace.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that As I stated, I consider
myself a picky eater. But I didn't see her in the kitchen preparing her own
food. I gave her free run of the kitchen. Help yourself to whatever is in
the pantry and the freezer. She had the opportunity to go to the grocery
store with me and my brother to pick up whatever she wanted. She didn't
want to come along. (And it's not like she was paying for it.) There
wasn't a thing I could have done to make this woman happy.
