SO, today is the husband's birthday. we really didn't do much. cards were made, songs were sung. children vied for attention to birthday dances. you know, the usual. i asked the mister what kind of cake he wanted and what the birthday menu would be several weeks ago and this is what he came up with.
the mister's birthday dinner:
bbq ribs
baked beans
grilled corn cob
coleslaw
green beans
corn bread
chocolate cheesecake with fresh strawberries
and that's exactly what i did. ALL from scratch. i was pretty proud of myself and quite pleased at just how yummy it turned out. i did the baked beans in the crock pot and i cooked the ribs in our pressure cooker. i will now give you a certified statement of truth that these ribs were the best ribs i have ever ever ever had. the mister will agree that we will never eat ribs out again. why, when you can have yummy organic pork ribs cooked in your pressure cooker in 15 minutes? seriously. it only took 15 minutes to cook up these ribs and they were so tender that the bones just fell out. ahhhh, sooooo good. we all ate so much, i'm still hurting and seriously contemplating not eating tomorrow. oh, and for the dessert i made {THIS}. i could only muster a few bites (as well as the kids) and i was done. the husband is now the personal owner of 3/4 of a serious chocolate cheesecake. go at it buddy, it's ALL yours.
happy birthday mister. hope it was well. with those ribs i'd say HELL YEAH!
