OT: One of Hubby's birthday gifts

John said thank you all and yes I can't keep a secret so I end up giving him gifts for a month, lol. I went to pick up his cake today and saw a freshwater puffer fish and got him that so I would have something to give him today, lol. I thought about that earlier and said boy you racked up since I kept giving him each thing as I bought it, lol. It was a good day. His boys helped finish up the cement board on the greenhouse and just have a couple of small pieces left to do thank goodness. That stuff is incredibly heavy.

Just think Hayden is one and in 4 months we will be welcoming another CF baby. This last year has gone by in such a blur. Rhiannon turned 5 on June 21st, Peyton turned 3 july 14th and Hayden's birthday was The 20th. I will have Dh take a pic of my baby belly tonight. It isn't pretty and I look like I could pop even though I have a long way to go. Stacie girlsingarden PS Happy 80th birthday to your mom Ann

Sounds delicious. You must have green tomatoes from your garden. I haven't seen any in the stores lately.

BD that is one of my all time favorite "make your man happy" meals. At least my men, those foods are all their favorites. Well, they like carrot cake but their all time favorite dessert is cheesecake, but my mom's favorite is carrot cake. We had a meal almost identical to yours for a post-Thanksgiving family get together. The only difference was I think we had pumpkin cheesecake for dessert plus coleslaw as a salad. It was my first time doing a stuffed pork loin, before I have just done a marinated one. It wasn't easy, especially since I don't have a mallet for pounding meat. I used the back of a small saucepot. That was a trip! But it sure is cool looking to serve!

It was so good,only thing now is he'll expect it every birthday now.We eat most meals in now very seldom eat out.Mainly because I had the lapband surgery to lose weight for kidney transplant.So I can only eat like 3 forkfuls per meal.I usually eat soup.
