No. He told me it was "good", thanked me for making it and said please
don't make it again... which is his version of throwing the plate
against the wall and beating me to a bloody pulp.

I removed as much of the pumpkin as I could from the leftovers,
because I didn't like it either. When I told him what I did, he said
"Oh, you really DO love me!" Go up from the couch, came over and gave
me a big fat kiss. I wasn't trying to kill him, really!
