Special Order

I was eating in a nice restaurant a few weeks ago and there was an older couple seated at the next table. The waiter came over to take their order. The woman said she wanted the fish. Then she gave specific instructions. It had to be slightly grilled, with minimal oil, not dry, a dash of salt, a bit more pepper and no garlic. Then she ordered the vegetable, steamed, not too over cooked, no salt, a bit of pepper and no butter. Those were just a few of the guidelines she gave. There were a few more but I could not remember them. She the ordered for her husband and gave explicit instructions for him, which were different from hers. When the waiter left, she looked at her husband and said, "Wasn't I good? I only asked for a few things." If that was a few, I cannot imagine what her usual routine is.
