February 2025 Fun...

My birthday month!

 

Sadly this was probably one of the crappiest birthday months I've had. We didn't do much at all due to the fact that most the month has been having to always have someone home with our poor Poe while we waited for his allergic reaction mishap to be all clear, and now waiting on this new med to kick in. Plus we have yet to get his seizures under control. Hell we never even made our wine pick up this month. Oh and the fact that our country is crumbling. Sigh. But there was some light.

This one is not helpful when I'm working out

Food:

Pat's on a new diet, so lots of new recipe's coming out! 

Pork lettuce wraps

Porkchop with Collard Greens and Bacon

Ahi Tuna Salad Bowl

One Friday afternoon Renee and I tried a new little wine bar in the Circle. So cool!

 

This isn't the prettiest dish but it was fantastic - Bacon Wrapped Chix with a yummy Onion Jam! Cucumber Salad on the side

I'm not a huge pork chop fan, so Pat made a dish that had a bunch of stuff (onions and bacon) on it and it was pretty good!

Bowling:

I seem to be doing a bit better this season.

Cesar subbed for Libby one night - another Handy Hornet!

Got my 1st Turkey of the Season!

 

Owen snuck in to watch me one night-sadly it was my worst game! Love seeing him though

The week my birthday fell

Tim made AMAZING. Chocolate Cream Puffs

Jenny made these delicious Apple Cider Snickerdoodles

Our "Supper/Cooking Club" this time decided to do a brunch! Since it was the Sat before my birthday, Terri brought over decor and it was kind of a birthday brunch. So that was just lovely!  The food was incredible. And Noel has joined the group!

 

My contribution - fresh squeezed and ready for champagne!

 

Table is set!

Very sweet of T to make me feel celebrated! (She painted that sign on canvas!)

Tianna's Egg & Chorizo Bake

Pat made Pork Belly Benedicts, Julie a Bacon/Thyme Waffle, Terri potatoes with chimichurri! SO GOOD!

Noel made Cinnamon Rolls with a Sugar Cereal Icing!

Terri made me brownies from scratch instead of a cake.  Yummy!

My birthday was pretty low key. Pat had his pool league, and we can't leave Poe alone or take him anywhere yet, so I was homebound most of the day. But Libby did take me out to breakfast with Cori, mom stopped by and brought me lunch, and dad stopped by to say hi. So still got to have a little fun.

 

Later that evening we just chilled

Poe loves Pampa!

Thank you Libby!  A lovely breakfast with some of my favorite girls!

So that's it for Feb.  Not too much this month.  Been a bit of a rough start to this damn year, but hopefully things will start looking up! So very grateful for the good times and the good memories we can make!
