@2011panc, Oh, how I hear you! lol Reminds me of the first time I went for a massage. Therapist said: "Tell me when I go too deep". Silly me thought "deeper has to be better"...I could hardly walk the next few days!! 30 yrs wed?? Congrats on that! You know our tastes change as we age; could you tell him that "raw" now makes food easier to swallow????
