Out with Patrick Swayze, Hello Matt Damon (now 35 years old)

After about 10 months of not cutting his hair, Scott had started to look like the Dirty Dancing version of Patrick Swayze - brown waves that move when he salsas.
It got on his nerves.
Now - I am married to the Matt Damon version (much sexier, hon) and my adorable husband turned 35 years old last week.

Scott didn't want to do anything special for his birthday, which was good because I was starting to run out of ideas for surprise get togethers. So we opted to stay at home and have me attempt to cook him a nice romantic dinner. For those of you that know me well, this is a very generous gift as I don't like being in the kitchen much.

Menu:
Artichoke dip as a starter - I forgot the bread, so had to ask the birthday boy to stop at the store on his way home without trying to spoil the surprise menu.
Blue Cheese crusted Fillet Mignon - Scott likes Blue Cheese, so I thought this was perfect for him
Spinach and Onion sauteed
Chocolate Lava cake - which did not come out exactly as I hoped it would, but it was good and we have been eating leftover cake for dessert every night since.

On Saturday, my parents wanted to celebrate Scott's birthday with us and we ended up at the Greek American Family Restaurant in Encinitas. We ordered the flaming cheese dish, and went through 2 bottle of wine. That's a first for the 4 of us. They didn't have the Tilapia, which is what Scott really wanted, but it was a good night out none the less.

Happy Birthday - and many mooooooooooore!
