Mojo Pork, Black Beans and Rescuing a Baby Bird

While the hubs was out golfing in a tournament, I caught up with a friend and put together a springtime dinner full of bright flavors and eschewing anything fried. The key is marinating the pork tenderloin in a mojo-inspired sauce of fresh orange juice, lime juice, onion, garlic, jalapeno and cumin. 
Endive with Orange and Dill.
Avocado with Tomato with fresh lime juice and olive oil.
Black Beans round out the menu.
Grilled Marinated Pork Tenderloin.
Rice with Lime and Cilantro.

While we were outside, my friend spotted a wee bird that appears to have fallen out of the nest prematurely in a strong wind storm. The bird was huddled in the middle of the parking lot, right in the flow of traffic. It did not surprise me when my friend who rescued cats also picked up the baby bird. 
Temporary Bird Lodging
Baby Cheepers was dropped off at an Animal Rescue. After a diet of moistened dry dog food and some flying lessons, the bird will hopefully be released back into the wild when it's stronger.
