Re. salad dressing: prick the top with your fork before peeling it open. Your seatmate will watch in awe.
Thanks for the note on free parking at EFD-- that might come in handy someday.
As far as miles, I trust you got double Onepass miles for OAK-IAH, and after reading about your return trip, you should ask for the double miles for IAH-OAK that you were booked on but didn't take. OAK service only started June 14-- I'm surprised the flights were so full.
Glad you enjoyed your trip.
