I have to remind myself of this all the time...........

.. I've been there.

Worst, recently.. friends chili-stew. Needed much more cooking time. I felt so odd sitting there.. chew, chew, chew.. I couldn't swallow the chunk I put in my mouth, and I couldn't break it down either!! 

I did eventually, but yeah.. I think she noticed that it was a tad tough.

 GUILTY AS CHARGED!  BLUSH 

 and hey if you pack your cheeks you, much like the squirrel, will have to store some for later You are doing great btw!!!!!
