Can you tell me the story of Mrs. Khaparde's food offering and Baba's unusual reaction to it?

Certainly. The story of Mrs. Khaparde's offering is a beautiful example of her devotion and Baba's unique grace, as detailed in Chapter 27. Mrs. Khaparde was so faithful that she would fast until Baba accepted her daily food offering (naivedya). One day, she brought a plate filled with Sanja, Puri, rice, and other dishes. Upon its arrival, Baba showed extraordinary eagerness, which was unusual for him. He immediately got up, sat down to eat, and began partaking of the meal. This surprised Madhavrao, who questioned Baba's partiality, noting that other, sometimes more lavish, offerings were often ignored. Baba then explained that his connection to the lady spanned many previous births, making her food exceptionally sweet to him out of pure love.
