Thanks BigJohn and Hope4. Funny thing is the comment just came out, and I said it in a calm, caring way. No anger or contempt. Just very matter of factly.
@BigJohn, the pork loin came out ok - all the flavor on the outside of the meat. I did a dry rub on it, then grilled it on my gas grill. It was a last second throw together. If I'd had more time, I would have marinated it and/or cooked it on my Big Green Egg. It would have been much better.
We had a good evening last night. Put kids to bed, then watched a little TV. Then off to our separate bedrooms.
It was very tough not pursuing her yesterday, especially after our "date." I really wanted to talk about the R, I want to grab her and, well...But I fought those urges and didn't. Then the door propped open with the conversationwith the sitter, and, bang, I got in a pretty good jab. After the jab, I was able to back off much more easily to let my comment sink in with her.
Patience...
Going to church this AM (all of us). Then family stuff around house until S9 has football practice.
