...just the obvious culprits that are an issue but the way food is prepared (deep-fried veggies), served (corn with gobs of butter, fresh fruit with whipped cream) and portioned (one-pound turkey legs.)

This year, portion control is not in vogue, she suspects, due to a poor economy that has some vendors responding to increasingly cash-strapped fairgoers by offering larger portions for the same price (an often high price to begin with.)

Even when she made mistakes, she seemed like a woman at peace. Ephron shows us the Child who was on the road to that peace. She'd won the romantic lottery but was still seeking - not fame or importance but a way to be useful, and to share. She was modern in the best sense of the word.
