I know its hard ... I cooked for the family for years with her gone it removed that issue, I made alot of those types of mistakes early on and wished I would have found this place, the books, and all the advice 7 months ago I might be much further along than where I am now, I had windows to pull some strong positives but did not have the tool box ... you do ... USE IT

Good Luck.


Great suggestion CaliGuy. I appreciate it!

With me though, I've rarely cooked dinner for the family. I started doing so as a way to show her that I appreciate the long hours that she's working to help support the family and she shouldn't have to worry about what to eat when she comes home at night.

You're right. I should simply tell her that I'm making [whatever] tonight. If she doesn't come home in time, then she has leftovers she can take to work for lunch, etc.
