Warren’s Birthday

on July 19, 2014 by margaret in Uncategorized ⋅ Leave a comment

 

Warren’s 29th birthday was on Wednesday, and so of course, I used it as an excuse to cook as much as possible.

 

For breakfast, I whipped up these very easy pancakes, scrambled a few eggs with Rotel, and I zapped some bacon in the microwave.

Since we weren’t sure what time Warren would get home from work, we decided that I’d cook him a bday dinner instead of going out.  I finally got the opportunity to set the table for the first time in our new house.

I decided to go with a Spanish themed dinner, so we started with this incredibly simple tomato salad called Ajotomate Murciano.

The main course was this lobster paella.  This is my go-to special occasion dinner for Warren.  It’s shockingly easy to make (if you can find lobster) and super delicious!

This is one of the first years that I didn’t bake Warren a birthday cake.  Normally I make the cake the day before his bday, but I was busy making Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies for him to take into work, so I decided to go with one of his favorite ice creams — Ben and Jerry’s Half-Baked.

We were both in a food coma by the end of dinner, but that’s what birthdays are for 🙂
