Happy Birthday Mr. Tennis!

Mr. Tennis (aka The Hubs) had a birthday recently!

So did I, but I prefer not to count my birthdays 

and if I don't celebrate on my actual birthdate,

I don't have to add a year!

Yes, that is how I am actually getting younger every year . . . 

that and botox!!!
[Ha ha - just kidding -- haven't had botox in years!
I do really love it though it's a splurge!]

He requested chocolate cake with 

chocolate frosting for his birthday!

Call me Betty -- I whipped that right up and

made a chocolate ganache frosting -- just

like the Barefoot Contessa and Pioneer Woman make!

My cookbook will be coming out soon -- (working title "Jboo Cooks??")
-- everything in it 

will have some type of chocolate ingredient!

Oooooh -- chocolate on chocolate = perfection!

Yes, well it was almost perfect until I slopped some

chocolate on my white top! 

Boo hoo - sadly that stain didn't come out -

but the ganache was so beautiful and delish, it was worth the sacrifice!

Besides playing tennis (hence the name Mr. Tennis),

he likes to ride his horse and do a bit of

golfing too.

Somewhere he fits in working! :)

While Miss M and I were at the pool recently,

he had some fun golfing.

Am afraid a golf cart may be on his b-day list next year!

Happy Birthday Mr. Tennis!

You're not getting older (yes you are)

you're getting better! :)

Happy Happy Birthday!
