according to George Carlin (RIP) Picky eater is an acronym for a "pain in

I suspect your brothers girlfriend qualifies.

Hehehe. We had some friends once who only at white food. White
bread. Potatoes. Chicken breast. stuff like that. I didn't realize
just how bad they were until they came to stay one weekend. They got
in at 11 (bus was late) and I offered them a snack before bed. There
was very little in the house they would eat. I cooked up some white
rice for them (didn't tell them it was jasmine) and despaired of
feeding them for the rest of the weekend. We drifted apart after
that....

Jill, if someone is a guest in your home and you make a reasonable
attempt to accomodate food preferences/allergies, etc., at what point
does "reasonable" become "insanely unreasonable"? It is the hostess'
responsibility to provide a bed, a bath and sustenance. It is the
guest's responsibility to graciously overlook any perceived
shortcomings in the hostess' offerings and not to behave like a
spoiled brat. I would have been sorely tempted, after having offered
multiple alternatives to the twit's dietary demands, as follows:

Me: ...and I can segregate your portion of the beef bourguignon to be
just the beef with no seasonings. Okay?

PITA: No, just seeing the beef bourguignon on the table will make me
ill.

Me: Here are my car keys, $20 and a map of the town with various
restaurants noted.

I would find out what the person eats that requires no preparation
(say, Odwalla protein shakes, or whatever) and supply them with
a sufficient quantity of such for the duration of the stay. I
would not try to compose and serve a meal under restraints that
are too severe.

Meanwhile, I'd make everyone else habanero lamburgers or whatever.

She had no food allergies, thank goodness! She was just nit picky. She got
free room & board. Clean sheets, soft pillows, free food, a nice clean
bathroom with fresh towels daily and use of the laundry room. (You'd think
it was a B&B.) They didn't pay for the trip here or the trip back, the
estate did. My brother got to get his furniture (a nice mahogany bedroom
set) and other inherited items. That included a full 12-piece place setting
of Noritake china. She benefits by extension. Yet she bitched about
parsley and cheese. Go figure.

No, no - I bow to your much better idea. She'd likely have not liked
the make or model of my car, found $20 to be ungenerous and offended
at the restaurants noted on the map. As usual, you are correct,
madam.

I remember those from when I moved out on my own. I was 17, and I ate
that stuff with jarred "gravy." It tasted a lot like the cardboard
box it came in smelled. It was cheap calories. God, I've eaten some

Wrong. It's when a girl gets a rim of fecal matter around her lips from
giving head on a dick that's been previously engaged in anal sex.

This has always led me to wonder how in the Hell the makeup fashion trend of
outlining one's regular lipstick with a dark colored lipstick became all the
rage. Always reminded me of a dirty sanchez. Why would women think this is
something to emulate? Geee-rossss!
