Scott's Birthday in HK

Ever since our crab incident, we have been trying to stay in a bit more. You know, think more economically. When Scott's birthday came around, I thought he might want to splurge and doing something extravagant but being the smart, economical guy that he is, he told me he just wanted to make a nice dinner at home. So we did. We made a beautiful dinner consisting of shrimp cocktail, steaks with a goat cheese/butter compound, garlic mashed potatoes, and spinach. And for dessert, I made him a homemade carrot cake complete with frosting (even though I don't like frosting on carrot cake).

I know what you're thinking, and yes, chopsticks are my cooking utensil of choice.

The finished products. I know, we fancy.

The cake after Scott already had some of course:

I knew this was all Scott wanted but I couldn't help but want to give him a little something so I thought, what does Scott absolutely love? No, I couldn't fly Mark Sanchez out here or Sexy Rexy - they're busy winning football games. The next best thing would have to be boats - a boat trip. So we went on a harbor cruise where you sit in these lounge type couches, enjoy wine and music, and just enjoy the view of Hong Kong. It was a really nice evening and a way to celebrate that's special to Hong Kong.

I think I did a good job considering this was the outcome:
