I haven't said much to you lately, you aren't really in a place where you are looking for guidance. So I will tell you that I am very glad that you seem to be handling all of these changes so well. And I am not sensing much in the way of 'eggshells' these days. That HAS to be a plus! Like you said, your W cannot continue to control you now that you have set each other free, so to speak. Glad that you have been able to work together on everything.
And I am jealous! I love outback and I love love love baked sweet potatoes! Actually I have a side dish I make at home.
You slice sweet potatoes and yams (one is orange inside, one yellowish-white) like you would for scalloped potatoes. Then you layer them in alternate layers in a casserole dish. In between the potato layers you put a little butter and parmesan cheese.
It is so delicious! Not healthy, with the cheese and butter, but delicious! I got the recipe from friends we had when we lived in Idaho (potato country!). I had never liked sweet potatoes until then. Guess I just don't like them with gooey sweet stuff. I like to eat them as a potato, not a dessert!
