That sounds yummy, Lyn! Happy Belated Birthday to your DH and DS!
Prior to DD's arrival, DH and I had always treated each other to a
nice dinner out on our birthdays. (The restaurant was always chosen by
the one treating and was always a surprise--even while en route to the
place.) Now, we're much more likely to make each other a nice dinner
at home (although we did get a babysitter for my last birthday, and DH
took me out for a very nice dinner at a new place that had just opened
up). With the exception of manning the smoker and grill, DH doesn't
cook much at all. He can prepare a mean steak dinner, though, so
that's what I usually get (no complaints from me, however!).
Our anniversary was this past week, and he prepared a great (steak, of
course) dinner. Porterhouse steaks, grilled to perfection, with
sauteed mushrooms and a variety of delicious sides (already prepared,
from Central Market, but who cares). Dessert was individual bread
puddings (also from CM) topped with vanilla Blue Bell ice cream.
His birthday is this Thursday, and I'm either going to make stromboli
(his favorite), with salad, or something fancier, like Beef
Wellington, with twice-baked potatoes, veggies, and salad. Dessert
will be strawberry-rhubarb pie (his favorite dessert).
