I turned 27 on August 26th. It's crazy to be getting older, but I still feel like I'm 21 or 22, so that's good. :) Drew served me an awesome breakfast-in-bed of a homemade breakfast burrito. It was really good. That night he slaved over the best dinner and dessert I've probably ever had. There is a dish that we LOVE at the restaurant Buca di Beppo called Chicken Saltimbocca. Drew is such a good cook that he figured out how to make it and it tasted even better than at the restaurant. It is sauteed chicken breast with prosciutto in a lemon butter sauce with artichokes and capers. Mmm, it was so good. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it :) We also had pasta, bread, and raspberry Italian sodas with our dinner. Here's what it all looked like...
And a little closer, so your mouth can start watering too :)
A few weeks before my birthday I remembered a dessert my mom made sometimes for my birthday growing up called icebox dessert. It has peppermint ice cream, chocolate, crushed vanilla wafers and almonds and a bunch of other stuff in it and is so good. So Drew called my mom for the recipe and made that for dessert. I had told Drew that all I wanted for my b-day was for him to make me a nice dinner. But of course, that amazing dinner wasn't good enough for him, so he also bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a gift card to Old Navy.
Also, due to unforeseen circumstances, I actually got to spend the whole day with him too! Thanks Drew for such an awesome birthday. You really made it special. I love you!
