Welcome, Michael. Wow, you guys are coming out of the woodwork!
I'll spare you the long version since I've just posted it twice,
but briefly, my "name" is ghunchu'wI' and I'm the Beginners'
Grammarian. Anytime you want my help, put "KLBC" in the subject
of your note and I'll make it a priority to get back to you.

Mark Mandel (marqem} did a fine job on this one; I don't have a
better suggestion.

A near-literal translation: {Soj QaQ lulI'be'moHbe' tlhInganpu'}.
"Klingons do not cause good food to be useless."
But what do you really mean? How about {SojDaj tlhol meQQo' tlhInganna'}?
"A true Klingon won't burn his raw food."

I hope you stay and learn. We can always use fresh blood...I mean, we
welcome new insights into the language. :-)
