I'm gonna echo the sentiment that if you can't be bothered to write it, or work on improving your own writing, then your thoughts are likely not well thought out to begin with.

Gazpacho. Giada DiLaurentiis has a green gazpacho that is super tasty, and feels less like you're just eating salsa out of a bowl. Charcuterie. Did this for a friend, I knew they loved charcuterie but I think it would work for lots of people. Arrange a nice pretty board with lots of yummy condiments, meats, cheeses, nuts, pickles, fruit, and wrap it up. She mentioned it was so nice to have what felt like a fancy adult meal amidst all the diapers and non adult themed things. Made her feel like herself, not a breast milk machine lol.

Golden age????? Holy shit these people completely lack the ability to understand anything happening around them. Its astounding.

 

Another food based holiday is around the corner, what are your plans? Any interesting departures? Anybody got family traditional foods they eat?

I'll be doing an Artichoke Fondue Dip as a snack for earlier in the day. For the main meal, definitely this Mustrad Cucumber Salad by Amy Thielan that I adore as a side, but not totally certain what else. I may end up just doing hot dogs since they are so easy and always tasty. But I am also looking for inspiration.

 

So today is my birthday, and I'm wanting to cook myself something special! I have carte blanch to make a huge mess that my partner will clean, so I'm rearing to throw down. What are your fav celebratory meals? Could be simple, could be complicated, could be expensive, could be cheap af. Just looking for some inspiration. Anything from dino nuggies to beef wellington! Thanks in advance!
