Happy Birthday Fresh Foodie :) [General]

Happy Birthday Mark!

You share the same birthday as my son who is turning twelve today. MY birthday guy will be taking his friends at school to McDonald's for lunch and having a very manly birthday dinner of:

Lemongrass marinated skewered pork
Sugar snap peas
Corn on the cob
Chocolate cake with strawberries and whipped cream

So what are your plans for your big day?

Thanks, Mousseline! Your son's birthday dinner sounds awesome. :-)

I celebrated my birthday a couple of weekends ago (before my family left to spend a couple months in Portugal) with a nice Truffle Torte from Stubbe. So I'm not doing much, although I'm hoping to fry up a load of butterfly shrimp at home this evening as a special treat. :)

Happy Birthday, Mark! Sounds like what I did the last time I had a birthday away from family: ate pizza and then drank a bottle of oaked-to-within-an-inch-of-its-life Chardonnay. Break out the Fino Sherry to go with that shrimp and you'll see what I mean ;)

Thanks for the good wishes y'all! :-)

yah, echoing the comments above (esp. the Captain's, hehe), happy b-day FF. Also, enjoy your period of semi-autonomy, eating what you want to eat, when / where / how you want to eat it (...I'm sure there's a whole new thread in that, but i'm not starting it).

Have a good one FF.

Happy Birthday! Have a beer or 2 for me :p

Thanks all! :D

Here's the basket of shrimp I whipped up for supper. A full pound of 21-25 count shrimp, 15 butterflied and breaded with panko, and the balance deep fried in their shell (Chinese style) and served with spicy salt. I think I got that fried shrimp craving out of my system now. ;-)

FiH, I shared a pitcher of Rickard's on the patio at Dow's lake as the sun went down on a beautiful evening. Can't do much better than that! :-)

What an awesome-looking dinner! Spicy salt and beer should be a part of every birthday celebration. Happy birthday again, bro!
