Your sweetie would not fare all that well in our house. My memories of my Mother's cooking, besides the daily shoe-leather steak, were a lot of sauces from soups: cream of mushroom, celery and chicken. My mouth forms that horrible shape of extreme rejection even when I think of them. You are a brave and generous gentleman.
