Happy Birthday Mr. B!
Today, Mr. B turns the BIG 3-0!!
There are a million reasons why I am thankful Mr. B was born, but considering that I could be here all day listing them out, I thought I would share a few of my favorites….
1.) His curly hair. Those locks make me weak in my knees:)
2.) Passion for music.
3.) A true renaissance man. There is no limit to what he can fix or create.
4.) Loyalty. In this world, I think that characteristic is hard to find in a person.
5.) His curiosity. Literally, a walking encyclopedia.
6.) His humor.
7.) Big cuddler.
8.) His writing is pure brain candy.
9.) His sense of adventure. I wouldn’t have taken scuba diving lessons or gone to Costa Rica without him.
10.) Authenticity. What you see, is what you get.
Given that Mr. B’s birthday is on a week day, and he is traveling back from Iowa as I type this post…we decided a feast at home would be the best way to celebrate!
Here’s what I am making…
Birthday Menu:
Prime Rib Roast with a Coffee Rub and a side of Horseradish Sauce for dipping
Whipped Mashed Potatoes with Whole Grain Mustard
Apple Cider Brussel Sprouts with Caramelized Shallots
Chocolate Sheet Cake with Chocolate Icing and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Are you drooling yet? hehehe.
I have few more tricks up my sleeve for the birthday boy. Stay tuned….
I didn't realize Mr. B and Drew share a birthday! Your menu looks fab. Drew is out of town all week so we're doing birthday dinner this weekend. He wants beef stroganoff. Slightly less fabulous. WTF do you serve with beef stroganoff???
Happy 30th Bret!!!
Jamie – How funny! I didn't realize that either. We might have to hold dinner for later as well for Mr. B. He may have to stay in Iowa until tomorrow. Boo!
I love beef stroganoff, and it is completely fabulous! Here are a couple of side dish ideas:
– roasted broccolini drizzled with balsamic dressing
– peas and carrots
-corn with caramelized onions
-green beans with almonds
Happy Birthday Drew!!!
I was thinking roasted broccolini! Something green for sure.
I can't wait to see the pictures of dinner!
