Ryan's Birthday

Ryan had a great birthday yesterday! Although he had to work, I made sure to spoil him as much as possible. We went to lunch at Kona Grill, which is of course one of our favorite places. After our long lunch break Ryan went back to work and I proceeded to begin making the birthday feast for the birthday boy. I used the "You're Invited Back" Raleigh Junior League Cookbook (shoutout!) for everything I made, except for dessert. I am loving this cookbook. What a great Christmas present from Mom last year. So, I made Mucho Margarita's as our beverage, Asian Pork Loins, Orzo with tomato and feta, and Southern Green Beans.  I don't EVER brag about my skills in the kitchen since I don't see myself as having perfected those skills just yet, but it was DELICIOUS!! To top it off I made Key Lime Pie, which is one of Ryan's favorite pies and what he asked for this time.  Overall the birthday boy was pleased, and we enjoyed eating our fabulous dinner, watching our wedding video, and just being together.  It was a low key birthday, but my husband is a low key type of guy, so for him it was great!  I am so glad I could have the time to do all of this cooking. I am really starting to get the hang of cooking good food, so YAY Megan Rindone!! We will be going to Venice, FL this weekend where Ryan will be diving and I will be sun-bathing to continue the celebrating.  Stay tuned for info about our fun weekend!!
