I am almost certain she did!
But the prohibition is on consuming milk within a prescribed period of time
after consuming meat. It's not enough to avoid the milk shake with a
cheeseburger or otherwise combining meat and dairy on the same plate. You
can't have ice cream or cheesecake, for example, after a steak dinner,
either. Not for several hours after.

You could have cottage cheese and salad for lunch and steak for dinner. (Or
vice versa) but there must be a certain amount of time between the two. I
forget how long.
