Ok first i swore I wouldnt post a birthday discussion on my birthday but here we go. Today is my birthday and I was cooking a special dinner. My mom got upset (she lives a state away) that I had to cook my own dinner. I see nothing wrong with it. My hubby doesnt like to cook and has worked all day. I am going out this weekend to celebrate. So What do you do for your birthday dinner? Do you cook your own, or have someone else cook it? Do you think it is a big deal to cook your own. (atleast I get what I want :))

Happy Birthday Amy!!!! Hope your celebration is full of fun and laughter. I don't think it's a big deal, I have cooked my own a couple of times when I had strong cravings for my own dishes. In my Mexican family growing up the whole family got together ,sometimes extended too, and we all helped cook it was a lot of fun.
I love homemade Tamales on my Birthday:)-

Amy,
I will be adding my recipe to my blog in the coming months( it's also traditional for Christmas in my family), I will post on your shout box to let you know once it's ready. They are easy to make, they just take a long time to prepare and cook, but if you have help it goes faster.

Happy Birthday, Amy!
As for birthday dinners, I usually end up with a birthday breakfast! Since I love to eat breakfast out, we'll usually go to a local restaurant or diner and have a big breakfast.
For Michael's birthday this year I invited our close friends to an Indian restaurant and we had a lovely time. He loves Indian food so thought it would be a nice change as we hadn't been out to one in awhile. -

Happy Birthday Amy. Either I prepare dinner or we go out to eat. Since it is just we two now, it doesn't get too out of hand. I would love to be taken to L'Auberge Chez Francois (now Chef Jacques his son is the owner) for a long luxurious meal.

Happy Birthday Amy.. My hubby usually makes the Birthday dinner with me.. He sends me out to the shopping mall for a couple hours to shop for my BD gift.. Next month is my hubby's birthday, so I have to think what to make for him.. Any suggestions, his favorite is any meal that has chicken in it?-

I was thinking of making up this idea for a recipe for chicken.
Mixing brioche breadcrumbs and chunks with savory spices tarragon, butter, a hint of curry and nutmeg and freshly shucked oysters. Blend together and stuff under the skin of the breast and inside the body. Bake.

I do not usually dine Mexican, Joe loves it though, but they are very generous with their portions. Which dishes did you enjoy?

I had a pizza quesidilla and it was huge. It had steak, chicken, shrimp, chirizo,beans, onions, bell pepper, cheese and was fried. It was awsome but it was bigger than the plate so I brought half of it home. We like Mexican, chinese (all but hubby) and japanese. I want to try other type ethnic foods some time soon.

I would dearly love to try Moroccan food. Like in the movie with Harrison FOrd, the remake of Sabrina. At least I believe it was Moroccan. They sat on the floor and ate with their fingers.
Your meal sounds delicious.

Someday I'm hoping to get taken OUT for my birthday, but we celebrate all together and to take so many of us out gets really expensive. We'll see. At any rate - have a great day!
