She did this by preparing scrumptious dinners for all of them. This was something that she performed for each and every visitor that came to her house. If you were to ask anybody who knew her, they would tell you that she prepared the finest meals in the area, most notably the loveliest kraut and peanut butter buns, and if you did so, they would tell you that she was the best cook in the neighborhood. If you were to question anyone who was unfamiliar with her, they would respond by stating that she was not someone who prepared meals.
