Sadly, this weekend, Sam’s month of birthday cooking came to a close. On Friday Sam gave me a gift inside a custom cut paper card. Breakfast on Saturday morning consisted of cheese omelets and toast.
After breakfast we headed to Marina Del Rey for my secret birthday gift. It turns out Sam had booked us a tandem parasailing ride. Unfortunately, when we finally went out on the boat the weather took a turn for the worse. It was cold and rainy and the “homebase” forced the boat to turn around and offer us a rain check after three other couples in line before us had nearly froze to death up high in the rainclouds.
It actually was good that it happened, as the ambient temperature of the air over the water will be much warmer by our new date in May and we’ll have a much better view of the shore, etc.
After coming home and warming up Sam cooked a dinner of salad, lobster, potatoes au-gratin and a bottle of Moscato. Of course, following the meal, Sam had one of my favorite deserts available; angelfood cake covered in melted berry sauce and ice cream.
The next morning Sam used the lone leftover potato to make hash browns. She made another cheese omelet, but this time secretly stuffed it with onions and peppers.
For dinner on Sunday she mixed the leftover salad, potatoes and moscato with steamed crab legs.
I feel very lucky to be with a culinary masterful woman that is so continually generous to my stomach!
