My 40th Birthday in Cell Phone Pics

My 40th birthday was so amazing. My husband kept me busy and full of sweet compliments that I rarely remembered that I was the big four - oh.

.

We went to Summerville SC where my all time favorite eatery is.

.

It's called The Red Pepper and it's authentic, as in the real Italian deal!

.

I ordered Mozzarella en Carrozza for our appetizer, which is fresh mozzarella cheese riding in a carriage of egg-encrusted bread, then lightly fried. Two Mozzarella en Carrozza served with a honey mustard sauce.

.

Simply divine!.

Then a bread was brought to our table that was moist and tender and delicious.

.

Then Eggplant Parmigiana- The Red Pepper is where I discovered my love for the Italian dish.

.

.

I had intended to try the Creme Brulee Cheesecake, but I was one stuffed red pepper! .

.

We went to the movies and saw The Blind Side (loved it!) and for the first time ever.......

.

The movie was better than the book!!

.

(and we are currently looking for a 350 pound 6 foot 5 inch teen aged boy to adopt, if you know of any.....)

.

Last night Gary said, "Only 1/2 hour left...."

.

I said, "half hour 'til what?"

.

He said, "Until your birthday is over and I can stop being nice."

.

He thinks he is so funny.

.

.

p.s. And what does my photo's of only food say about me?

.

p.s.s. It says I should have asked for a gym membership for my birthday, that's what.

.

p.s.s.s. Gary's blog post was enough birthday love for me. It warmed my heart!

.

ps.s.s.s. Is this blog getting too mooshy gooshy?...... Yeah, I think so too.
