I write this blog as a way of getting through a difficult divorce with a difficult man who was the love of my life but turned out to be bipolar, self-absorbed and controlling. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he told me he had never stopped gambling, an addiction that had caused us a lot of pain in our earlier years. This led to me filing dissolution papers before he had a chance to run up any more debts against community property.

Lazy Wife
My sister gave me an Amish cookbook. She had bought it for herself but hadn't found anything in it she thought would be good. I grabbed the ball and ran. I have found some killer recipes in it. They have great names like 'Hidden Eggs', 'Overnight French Toast','Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cakes' and 'Funny Pie'. I made several of these dishes for the family in Idaho. They were big hits. I keep the recipe book at home and pull it out on occasion. Today was one of those. I found a new one: 'Lazy Wife's Dinner'. It had meat, macaroni, potatoes, frozen veggies, cream of anything soup and the kitchen sink. Even though I am no longer a wife, I connected with this. It had my name written all over it. I made it for dinner. Add a little sour cream and some more cheese, and this thing's a keeper. Throw that baby in the oven, fire up the hot tub, and you've got my idea of a great evening.
