Greetings and a Happy Saturday to you, dear friends 
Yesterday was my husband’s birthday and I was busy for a few days preparing for his dinner feast. By the time I had finished cooking and we sat down to dinner, I was just too exhausted to take the photos of what we had and my daughters took some just so that I can put them here. Nevertheless, it was well worth the effort of cooking this dinner as my husband and family went crazy over the food. Hehe, as I am typing this, my husband and sons are now eating some of the leftovers for tea time and watching a movie on TV! 
Rolled Smoked Salmon (Gravad Lax from Ikea)
Chopped Onions, Mashed Hard Boiled Eggs, & Caviar (to spread on toasts and Ritz cheese crackers)
Baked Potato Skins with bacon bits, strong cheddar & mozarella cheeses, chopped green onions
Roasted Potato Wedges (Chad Potatoes that were quartered and simmered for 10 minutes in 1/2 cup of water in a pan with bacon bits and some soy sauce; then roasted with some smashed garlic cloves in oven for 40 minutes). This went with some marinated Lamb Chops and grilled Beef Steaks.
A simple DAIM cake from Ikea (a scrumptious almondy cake with butter cream and chocolate bits)
In addition to the above, I had prepared some guacamole dips, sour cream, refried beans and tomato salsa for nacho chips; and there was a plate of green salad with Thousand Island Dressing for everyone. By the time we had finished eating our appetisers, we only had a little room left for the main course which was Lamb Chops with mint sauce, Beef Steaks and Roasted Potatoes.

Thank you so much for your lovely birthday wishes, my dear sweetrosie!
It was just the 6 of us in the family plus my eldest daughter’s boyfriend….cos if I have to cook for more people, I think I will be “under pressure to cook well”. Hehe, this way, in case my recipes didn’t turn out well, I have my well trusted “guinea pigs” who would eat anything! 
Have a nice day!
With love and hugs,
choesf

Thank you for your compliment, dear manila
This was for last year…..this year, I was down with cough and cold and I didn’t cook anything for his birthday.
We ended up going to a Japanese Restaurant to celebrate for him. 
Cheers!
