This man is my hero. He is creative, loyal, genuine, fun, forever making me laugh, a great daddy, and he's going where I want to go. He is my best friend. Today is his birthday.
So some people who know me, know that I love gifts. Not so much receiving them, but giving them. In all kinds of ways and measures, for all kinds of reasons.
I usually think for months in advance about someone's gift, and carefully select it, then take hours wrapping it.
One Christmas, I spent an entire day and night wrapping gifts for my family. I handmade every bow.
On with the story, hubby's 25 today.
This week, has been a week of COOKING, and getting ready to celebrate.
At his office, birthdays = morning tea for your colleagues = wife cook up a storm = wife deliver at morning tea time = other people eat it.
So, I cooked:
- ginger crunch
- lemon syrup cake with butter icing
- sausage rolls
- mini pastry pizzas
- ham, cheese and mayonaise twists
All ready for his work.
Then, tiramisu made. House tidied. Table set. Grape juice chilled. All ready for an early birthday dinner with his parents. I COOKED:
- kumara chips with cinnamon and paprika
- mini pizzas with mozzarella and pastrami
- a fresh salad
- lamb chops
I've never made tiramisu - it was delish... if I must say so myself.
