Planning Our Anniversary Meal 2021
-
Matt you should go with an apple crisp for dessert since its fall now. Not sure how you are going to seasoning your pork chop but |Pork-Roast-and-Chop-Rub is an excellent choice. My wife gets a steak dinner for her birthday every year with all the fixings, which I guess maybe isn’t all that special considering how much steak we eat. Her birthday and our Anniversary are only 3 days apart so I usually just try to roll everything together into one big event.

I also like that you do a theme, I may to think about that for our next one.

HerbcoFood yeah it is fun building out a meal around a theme and exploring the different variations of commonly used ingredients.

After reading all this I feel bad I just take the wife out to some special place she wants to go
gus4416 Don’t feel bad, if you are doing what she/you both want to do. No shame there.

Each year I usually make some extravagant meal that is way more involved than our normal table-fare. Last year I made a spinach/ricotta/stoneground mustard stuffed chicken thigh roll with a roasted tomato/garlic/ricotta toast and a cauliflower puree with a caramel and yogurt pear desert.
This year I’m going French and starting the meal with a Gorgonzola Souffle, Pork Chops with a red wine shallot sauce, bacon & almond green beans, rosemary fondant potatoes and I’ll be dutchoven cooking desert in the evening down at our fire pit, It will either be cinnamon rolls or a rhubarb-tart/cobbler for a late evening with my wife, toddler son, some wine and hopefully a star filled sky.
Stay tuned - I should have a post in the “what did everyone cook today” Thursday evening or Friday morning. Excited about this one!
RafterW Good luck, it sounds like a tasty meal. You will be busy cooking all day but those items and flavors sound great. Don’t forget to enjoy the time together, it goes quickly.
