( it's simply said, as she sits. she feels a poorer host for it, but she's trying not to impose what she knows of culture here, and especially not on dolores, who has already been so kind. )
My country was occupied by the enemy after our surrender in a war. Unfortunately, major supply lines were either destroyed or so tightly controlled that things like fresh meat, vegetables and other non-essential amenities were often very difficult to get. One could acquire them on the black market at great cost, but I personally had no taste for the risk.
( no, she took her risks in other places, but never over sugar.)
