Three families are com ing to my house for the holiday. The OOD couple decided not to join us if everyone didn’t contrib ute dishes made from foods labeled “organic.” The OOD couple have three preschool children. They buy only organic foods, and dine at cafes of all-organic grocery stores. Otherwise, they bring organic food and bever ages for the children. Letting them bring their own organic-labeled foods for holidays hasn’t worked well. My daughter-in-law brought so many veg etables for a cookout that she monopo lized the entire grill cooking them. They proceeded to eat dinner as we had just gained access to the grill. I was brought up that if someone invited you for dinner, you ate what you liked of what was served. You didn’t order the hostess to prepare foods specific to your family nor did you bring your own dinner to the “dinner.” The U.S. Food and Drug Adminis tration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture food safety hotlines say all food sold in grocery stores is safe to eat. Would it poison the OOD family to eat one holiday meal that was “regu lar” food? — OOD Grandmother Being right doesn’t do you much good if you’re answering the wrong questions. Of course these kids could safely eat one “regular” meal, no hotline confirma tion required, oh my goodness. And yes, etiquette tilts heavily toward gracious acceptance of whatever hosts choose to serve, although allergies and other intolerances can politely factor in. And, organic? Sure. Their preroga tive, though it’s an imprecise business at best. But this isn’t about food or manners. It’s about fanaticism. Your daughter-in-law — she’s the driver here, I gather, while your son is the passenger? — is an extrem ist. Extremism is psychological, not dietary. This is also more of a hostage situ ation than a menu challenge. Your access to your son and grandchildren lies behind that “OOD” gate, which your daughter-in-law controls, and your son buys into (again, I gather). So, sure, you can fulminate eter nally over impure coffee about your daughter-in-law’s food sanctimony, with full justification and no doubt ample validation from those other families, your friends, and people like me — but your son and grandkids won’t be there. And that’s the thing you want, isn’t it? Not winning, but companionship? If it’s winning, then that would explain what your son sees in your daughter-in-law. Righteousness as emotional comfort zone. But if you do want your son and grandkids there, then you need to stop trying to reason with the fanatic. You just need to meet her terms. Obviously that’s not ideal. It feels like (vegetable-dyed-chemical-free- leather) bootlicking. It’s merely an extreme version of what we all have to do, though, always, to interact with other people. You don’t choose what other people believe or stand for or request of us. Nor does the FDA or Emily Post. We can only choose from the options we’re given. In this case: Fight your daughter-in-law over food, or celebrate with your son and grandkids. Rarely is the grovel barrier so low as just cooking organic food. Seriously. This potato versus that potato. I say do it and zip it — before she raises the bar. Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

North in today’s deal was the late Sydney hazard, a Hall of Famer, playing with his regular partner, Bart B ram ley. Many non-expert players would open the North hand with a bid of two clubs. It’s a way to “start the party” and inform partner that good times are about to roll. Experts will not open distributional hands with a two-club bid unless the high-card strength is overwhelming. Describing a distributional hand is even more difficult when you start with an artificial bid at the two level. Lazard might have bid four hearts at his second turn, but he thought he was too strong for that bid after Bramley’s two-level response. Slam chances were significant. The delicate four-diamond bid brought a somewhat timid preference from Bramley, but Bramley couldn’t know that his side had an eight-card fit, much less nine. The four-heart bid gave Lazard confidence that his heart suit was solid, and he tried a four- spade cue bid. Bramley wanted to accept the slam try, but he didn’t know which suit to play in. He jumped to six clubs to emphasize his club strength. Lazard recognized that his king of clubs was golden, so he jumped to the grand slam in hearts. Bramley was certain that his partner held long, solid hearts, plus a minor suit king, so he converted to seven no trump and the lop spot was reached.
