P.S. I totally get the soup thing. CJ is BAD for not revealing his feelings...duh!!! (oh, man, understatement of the year!)...I KNOW there are certain dishes I make that he doesn't care for in particular (How do I know? When it's just THAT dish he leaves half of, and no others)...but he won't admit it.
I, like you, just wish he WOULD...I wouldn't take it personally (not the Shiny of 2 years anyway ), and it bothers me that if he can hide little things.....
