my stud’s birthday

October 27, 2010~ Etc.

p.s: i had so much fun reading all your thoughts on my last post!
you ladies are so fun, come out and say hello more often. πŸ™‚
my stud got a year older on his birthday. (really?)
he told me a week before, “hun, please don’t go overboard
for my b-day like you usually do, you always stress out so much
and it stresses me out watching you. so take it easy and simple ok?”
so he didn’t want to celebrate at all or do anything special.
oh he wanted to renovate our house like he does every night.
but i don’t feel like i ever go overboard for special ocassions!
rememeber when he had a personal sushi chef come to my house
to feed 20+ people for my b-day party this past year?
anyway so i tried to keep things simple for his b-day.
i made his favorite food for his pre b-day dinner:

samgyumsal-korean pork.

japchae-korean glass noodles
then we were so excited to go to tucano’s(uh we LOVE meat & their chewy cheese ball breads!)but they were closed due to construction so we went to red lobster with our family.


jay’s beloved cousin jasmine and bobby
brothers
then they got out the lobster for us to touch.
but no way was i going to touch that thing!
i was scared that the lobster would break open the rubberbands with its
giant claws and bite adi. then i would’ve grabbed it and threw it against the wall. i think…
uncle mike eyeing adi, “hey! don’t touch my drink! i don’t like to share
with a precious tiny 2 yr. old who can’t drink more than 0.002 oz.!” πŸ˜›

actually i lied, my kids can down the drinks pretty fast. you gotta
literally take the straw away from them or they’ll keep
drinking and drinking. do babies never get brain freezes?
did you know that my husband never gets a brain freeze?
he says it’s because his brain is so big.
but i say it’s because he has none.
haha jk jk the birthday boy.

then we had friends over for some cake, donuts & hot chocolate.

these apples were HUGE!
apples w/ peanut butter caramel dip


with topping choices of nutella, powder sugar, krispy kreme glaze, and apple cinammon glaze.
it was a big hit.

adi discreetly poking the cake and eating the whip cream
while making sure i’m not looking.
raspberry cheesecake ice-cream cake. got this idea from my cute friend but i didn’t have the recipe so i made it up. it took a little bit of time since the brownies, the ice-cream, and the whip cream were homemade but if it wasn’t, then it would’ve been super easy and fast.


this is adi helping me to cut the cake. this is how she helps me everytime
she helps me cook. like when i need to crack an egg open, she’ll squeeze
my wrist tight when i’m about to crack it. so cute.

him being his OCD-clean self, his favorite b-day present was me unpacking
a room full of boxes and putting it away. he raved about how it was the
best present he’s ever gotten over and over. maybe it’s a hint that i should clean more?
nah.

he also loved the cake and made me make the cheesecake ice-cream the day after,
after he finished the rest of the cake himself. he also asked me to make the cake
every year for his b-day. haha i’m glad you liked the cake hun.

I LOVE YOU.
so much.
you make me completely happy.

    Sounds like your husband is a lot like mine..the OCD thing and that any stylish or trendy piece of clothing I own is his least favorite. πŸ™‚ I am glad he had such a perfect birthday!

    how fun! I wish i could've been there! I love Adi's expression when she snuck a fingerful of cream from the cake. Oh, and the cake looks and sounds delicious, wow you made the ice cream too? I've never dared to make an ice cream cake yet… Didn't the brownies get hard from freezing? and did the whipped cream freeze too? I'm curious. ha ha. You look beautiful Sarah! Love you and your fam!

    hey flora! Everything was frozen, even the whip cream. I just didn't bake the brownies all the way, n when frozen, it's still chewable n good! πŸ™‚ and the ice-cream I made a plain vanilla ice cream into a cheesecake one, so I didn't make the ice-cream itself so just 1/2 of it haha. N oh how I wish you were here too! Love you too!!!

    Fun party!
    I remember the first time I got up close to a lobster. Just looked like a freakin huge mutated cockroach! Who would think to eat that ugly thing?! I had no problems throwing them into the pot. hahaha
