What I asked, my mother for varies — Sometimes it’s a veal dish in a blue cheese sauce (It’s out of my cousins cookbook so it’s a real family affair wheh we do that one). Last year it was the barefoot Contessa white pizzas with arugula. My birthday is in August so I always get an ice cream cake.
DH Is very good at steak, so I’ll usually get that from him with twice baked potatoes. His twice-baked potatoes are second only to my mother and as she gives him tips, he’s catching up. I won’t even bother eating twice baked in a restaurant anymore. It’s Mom ‘s or DH’s or nothing.
My mother has requested I make shrimp and grits for her birthday for over 10 years now. And DH request my shrimp diavola. So apparently I’m really good at shrimp.
Both of them love a rum cake, so I’ll usually make one of those. Or, for my mom, any dessert with peanut butter and/or banana.
