Mrs. B's Birthday Dinner 12.17.10

As usual, as always, Chef B outdid himself the other night! Let the pictures (and video at the end) speak for themselves!

My Menu

My Menu and Julia's Cookbook. Per my request, Chef made everything from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"

Mrs. B and Bubbly. I perched at the kitchen island whilst my Chef did all the hard work!

Beautiful Bubbly in our Wedding Day Champagne Flutes!

First Course. In essence, cheese cookies. Yum. Note: We used Grandma C's china.

A totally classic picture. Chef B pulls the spit out of the poulet. I love the expression on his face!

Saucing the Main Course.

Saucing/plating the Main Course.

A fantastic White Burgundy to accompany our Main Course.

All hail to the wonderful Chef B!

Chef B prepares to enjoy the fruits of his incredible talent!

Surrounded by presents!

I don't care HOW old one is. Opening cards and presents is always fun!

A welcome surprise gift from my Mom. An exact replica of THE cookie jar we grew up with; filled with a special recipe cookie. I'm not gonna post the pictures of me crying. Got me, Momma.

The incredible finale! Pots de Creme and Port. YUM-O

Mrs. B's Birthday Dinner

For the third year in a row, my wonderful husband Mr. B became Chef B this past Saturday to make my birthday dinner. This year, I specifically requested two things; he came up with the rest of the menu. As always, the dinner was absolutely wonderful, as was the entire evening. I'm so lucky to have my very own personal chef. I'll always appreciate it!
