[Avodah] Kiddush Levanah on Motzoei Yom Kippur

[Shmuel Zajac]

 >>Surely she is just as hungry as he is, and her staying for maariv or
going home is a matter for mutual agreement.  And why must he have
warm food to break his fast?  Can't he (actually they) first have cold
drinks while the food is warming up?  In any case, why is his having
to wait a few minutes longer for hot food (though no longer than she
waits) more important than whatever hanaah she gets from staying for
maariv (and walking home with him instead of alone)?  What is she,
his maid?<<

You left out one question that fits right in - Why can't he put the food 
on the fire?  Unlike the case of Havdala, where it might be argued that 
there could be a halachik issue because of the possibility of Bracha 
Levatala, there can be no halachik issues with this.
