I recently attended a fashion dinner where I was seated across from the wife of a TV celebrity who’s now a healthy cookbook author.

That’s less a blind item than a nearsighted item, but I can report that Cookbook Lady utterly ignored me until our meals arrived.

I was the only person at our table to opt for steak over kale, and I also ordered a side of fries.

Suddenly, every eye on the table was on me. “You know what I like to do,” Cookbook Lady pronounced slowly, apropos of nothing.

“My children and I like to take carrots, and radishes, and other yummy veggies, and we fry them up and we eat them just like French fries!”

I nodded at this weird judgment-disguised-as-personal-anecdote.

Simply nodded, because my mouth was full.

A couple of hands reached for my fry plate, until everyone at the table had availed themselves of my side dish.

So much for the holier-than-thou attitude.
