El Hubby Cakes turned a year older this month. I asked him what he wished to do and as always, he said nothing. He never makes a big deal of his birthday unlike me, who likes to celebrate for a whole month ^_^. But that's one of the things I love about him. He is a simple man.
He asked if we could just get food to go and relax at home or take his mom out for dinner. So we did both and more...
Here's what I did...
1. 2 days before his birthday, I took him to a sushi restaurant in Hermosa Beach and a cupcakery. The restaurant had Bruce Lee playing on a projector. Fun!
2. The night before his birthday, I cooked homemade shrimp and salmon in a tomato cream sauce. He thought it was amazing and even ate leftovers the next day.
3. On his birthday, I woke up extra early in the morning to steal his car and fill up his gas tank. He was all smiles when he saw his gas gauge in full. He thought it was the sweetest thing I've ever done. Really, babe?
4. I bought this game controller thingy for his cellphone that he's been wanting. I don't remember the exact name. Again, he was all smiles.
5. For his birthday dinner, we went to Benihana with his mom. Benihana is a Japanese Tepanyaki restaurant. He was so embarrassed when servers came to our table and sang happy birthday in English and Japanese. I got it on video.

Chocolate and peanut butter cupcake. That's crushed butter finger on top. OMG

Lobster, scallops and tiger prawns for El Hubby Cakes.
Filet minon and Tiger shrimp for me and his mom.
My local super market hooked me up with a hot and fresh apple pie right out of the oven. El Hubby Cakes doesn't care much for cake so I got him a pie instead.
