The ground beef did not go well

Ground beef is tough. You will have better luck with meats that are very tender and moist. I was about two months out my first Thanksgiving and had a charming experience with turkey. I still am dicey on turkey unless it is the deli variety.

Me too. Turkey is not a happy food.

I have not had trouble with anything, I can and do eat everything, I am careful to eat slowly, and always chew thoroughly, if I eat to fast, it hurts.
