We enjoyed a summer teaser the last couple of days and loved every minute of it. But just like the weather gods predicted got cooler last night 40F (4c) at 5 am and only got to 52 F (11 c) today, over 30 f degrees colder than yesterdays wonderful day. Overcast all day and cold winds, so not a great day for sitting outside. Definitely not a day for shorts but did manage to put on a few layers and get some walkabouts and lots fresh air.Campground filling up for this long weekend so lots people out and about.
our row almost full this morning |
A little more coffee and checking emails, then a light lunch, Some of my homemade Ham bean soup I took out of the freezer was great for this cool weather, I had saved some just for this.
Then a good day for a nice workout at the amazing fitness centre here, just to make sure I keep using all these muscles and try to keep limber.
Now to carve up this full pork loin I picked up on special this week $1.99 a lb. It was a 7.95 lb cut for $15.91. and this will give us quite a few meals, 4 thick boneless chops, and 4 nice sized pork loin roasts. We sure do love this lean cut of very tender pork and what a great deal. Stock up our freezer when we can get the deals.
this was the deal |
lotsa of good eating here |
Did we have fun? Yup we did, lots of laughs, great company and good food. A fun way to celebrate my birthday, a day early but no problem here, the wing night was tonight and that was what I wanted.
smiles, toasts, laughs, good food, perfect, thats me in the left rear corner with the hat and they even sang Happy Birthday ! |

I had asked for no cards or gifts, but this card I guess they could not refuse, guess they have been hanging around me too long LOL. Thanks guys.
Thanks guys for the company, the laughs and the happy birthday sing song, such wonderful friends you meet when camping. And sharing my birthday meal with us.
We go out for food like this that I don't cook at home anymore and is a nice treat. Not good for you but was so tasty, moderation is the secret right? Not much moderation tonight, but heck it's my birthday.
Now that was all I wanted for my birthday, a tasty treat for supper, a few laughs with friends and my honey Suzie, can't do too much better than that now can we? We took Paul and Judy with us so we could have a designated driver, thanks guys!
Still no sunshine and getting colder, not to nice to be outside much any more today. So in we go , turn on our Mr. Heater to take the chill of and call it another very nice day after all.
Thanks for stopping on by again and hope your weather was not too chilly today, heck at least no snow !

DeleteHappy Birthday George. Glad you had a fun night last night. Enjoy your special day today!
ReplyDeleteWe love buying those pork loins when they are on sale as well. We cut them us too but I usually do more pork chops and less roasts. I usually cut some into cubes as well for a stir fry and another for kebobs.

Thank you it was a great night and today will be as well.
DeleteSuzie prefers the pork roasts so then we have leftovers for lunches or whatever , but they are a great deal when on sale.
Looks like you had a great Birthday George, many more!
