Birthday Celebration

As we celebrate my birthday today, I have some funny memories to share in just few hours of my birthday today. My husband gave me a birthday card with a sweet message inside the card. He surprised me with some colorful roses today and the delicious chocolate-coffee ice cream cake. I made a list of the things I needed because I will be the one to cook for my birthday dinner tonight. I let my husband do the grocery shopping. I found the recipe from the Chinese Cookbook that Wenggay gave me as a souvenir birthday gift from her. I love the Asian Cuisine!

So I cook the Spicy Spareribs and the White and Red Prawn with Vegetables I found in the cookbook. It was delicious! Of course, my husband can attest to that. He actually enjoyed our dinner and so do I. It was like we had dinner in a fine dining restaurant in town by the help of the cookbook. We had a wonderful birthday dinner and ate the chocolate-coffee ice cream cake for dessert too.

Just A Thought

Well, what can I say? I am still on the process of healing my right jaw from the surgery. It is getting colder outside and every time I go outside to feel the weather, my ears and nose can feel how cold it was outside. I have to put my coat and shoes with socks on to keep me warm. Still, I am enjoying the marvelous taste of the soft foods that my husband bought just for me. Although sometimes, I can get a little bit of taste on what my husband is eating - pork chop, fried chicken, turkey sandwich and T-bone steak. But that is just a little taste! Eventually, I am missing the taste of those foods. I miss savoring each and everyone of them.

I just wish I can open my mouth wide open to eat. I just wish the surgery and the stitches will be long gone for me to eat. I know I will, in due time, I know I will be enjoying what my husband is enjoying right now. I just wish he will not tease me while he's eating any food that he will put in his mouth. As for me, I will be fine... I will be all well in 2 weeks and will no longer sick. Besides, 2 weeks is already long for me. I just miss pampering my mouth with good food.

My Husband is My Cook

It has been 2 weeks now since he cooked the Tilapia Fillet with garlic and herbs. It was actually a ready-made breading fish that we bought few weeks ago but the thought of cooking it for me was fantastic. As you all know, my husband doesn't eat fish a lot. He can eat several variety of fish but not too much. He will just taste it to know whether it's a good fish or not.

He prepared everything that he needed and of course, he cooked my tilapia fillet with all his heart and some sweetness. He also cooked the veggie stir-fry for the side and I will tell you that it was all good. I had fun eating my Tilapia Fillet with garlic and herbs. For sure, this will not be the only time he will cook for me as I like to be spoiled with my cooking husband. It is just great to know that you can beg for your husband to cook for you.
