Good job on approaching.
Now that the praise is over these are my thoughts.
You approached her with a fluff question in my opinion. Asking her where she bought her food doesn't lead into an interesting conversation unless what she is eating is interesting.
She gave you three chances. Which you used asking fairly basic interview style questions. Where did you get that, is there anything else, what are you reading. What you needed to do was say something to get her interested in her and then make a statement that lowered her value and got her to start qualifying herself.
My interaction would have theoretically went something like this:
Ace: So are you here to watch the Tsunami as it comes in?
Her: What do you mean?
Ace: Yeah I just got a call from my friend the big one is supposed to role in soon and its going to take us all away
Her: What, your just pulling my leg.
Ace: I'm serious, the question you should be asking yourself is what do you want to do with the last five minnutes of your life?
Her: Now I know you just joking.
Ace: You're so gullible, but if this was true what would your answer be?
Obviously thats not how it would actually go, but you can see how making something interesting up can not only get her attention but keep it. Eventually you can ask her about her book, and if you have read it DHV by showing her that you are a well read man. Remember you have to make it an adventure for her.
