Hello Powerbeets! I am here and I am sorry too. I've had it for years...ignored it, denied it, faced it, failed...and now coming around and facing it again. It's very hard in the beginning. I'm here if you want to talk...or just vent. I will say you have a advantage over me because you are a chef. I never enjoyed cooking and was never good at it. I can't go into a kitchen and just whip something up. I have no idea what herb will make something taste better. I'm learning but I'm guess you have that knowledge. Hang in there!
