Mother's Day 2008: 10 Years in the Business

For the first time, I invited my Mom over on Sunday evening. She usually cooks for the crowd on Mother's Day, but everyone else was working, including my dad, so I stepped in and made the meal. My dear husband grilled a pork tenderloin, which was flavorful and tender. I filled in with vegetables and the fabulous green salad with raspberry vinaigrette. Dessert was a choice of yellow layer cake with chocolate frosting or chocolate-dipped strawberries.
