It was for my husbands birthday.

First course: yellowtail sashimi with ponzu, jalapeos & cilantro

Second course: seared scallops with mango salsa

Third course: lobster wonton tacos with cilantro-lime crema

Dessert: crme brle (hubs requested it instead of cake)

PS: I was given a terrible cut of yellowtail at the fish market so cutting it was a pain

Impressive, though I still say you do too much for him if he does not spoil you as well.

Giving him a last chance lol. I never used to actually complain about the lack of effort but Ive been vocal about it in the last few months.

We had this convo last Thursday:

Him: Your birthday is next Wednesday right?
Me: Yeah
Him: Where do you want to go?
Me: Surprise me
Him: Ok I will!

Thats progress since he never thinks of my birthday at all lol. Usually just makes me pick a place day of.

That is an improvement, I know if I did little for either of my sweethearts I would not just hear about it but they would do the same to me.

I think the only time we did a low key birthday was when one or two of us was sick and we did the real celebration when everyone felt better.

I was always tempted to stop trying but I really like to celebrate special occasions. Maybe because growing up, they were always so awful and now I can make them better somehow.

Still cheaper than at a restaurant :)

All the proteins I used were a total of $57 at the fish market. RedWhiteBlue posted...

Scallop toppings look amazing

Not a fan of the rest of the food, or even scallops.

Also, I think I'd starve to death an hour later with so little food >_>

But that's very kind of you to prepare a meal like that, he's lucky to have you.

There were more tacos, I just took a picture of that plate. And thanks!

Not a seafood fan I take?

GG creme brle is a pain in the ass

I used to love salmon, lobster, shrimp and cod, but my taste-buds decided to change for the worse with seafood. Now all I can tolerate are lobster legs and apple bee's hand battered fish.

Its funny how that happens. Recently Ive started to absolutely hate eggs. I used to eat them all the time for breakfast.

Thanks! It was actually pretty easy. It looks more complex than it really is.

I really want to learn how to make sushi sometime. But seems kinda complicated and there are good sushi spots everywhere so... I always get too lazy.
