wat's 4 dinner?

Hubby's birthday coming in 2 wks time.
And we figured that we will stay at home tis yr n enjoy some peace at home. Beside, T quite a homely guy and he kinda enjoys jus lazing around with good food n company. Away with all the noisy restaurants where we lack privacy. Somehow, we juz wanna be alone this yr. Just the 2 of us in our own world!

he's been such a great hubby n i really wanna make it something special for him tis yr, especially when it marks the start of his manhood " 30s''. haha......

So, tis time round, due to his carnivore nature, theme is " western".i'm thinking more like candles, candles and more candles. Ive never had many candles in my house, only aroma oils.So, this round, i;m going to try candles, candles and aroma oils. wonder how it goes. most prob hubby won;t appreciate the candles n i tink i'll have more fun playing with the candles than him! haha...quite fun to tink of it. It;s my own house and i can jolly well paint it in watever colour i like and light as many candles as i want, as long as i dun burn down the place. FUN!!!!:P

Ok. Food!
Hubby requested steak. He's an adventurous eater and dislikes anything normal. Well, that;'s the only criteria i consider in my search. Pretty narrow search, very focussed.

So, look what i'vee found:
Interesting!

Grilled Steak with Olive and Stilton Cheese SauceThis great steak recipe includes an excellent sauce that can turn any steak into something fantastic. Lee suggests using garlic stuffed green olives and says this recipe is great for venison.

Maytag Blue T-Bone There's just something about the combination of a good steak and good blue cheese. This simle recipe is a great way to dress up a steak, particularly if it's not the best quality.

Mandarin Skirt SteakThe tangerines used in this marinade not only tenderizes but adds a great flavor to the skirt steak. Remember that skirt steak tends to be tough to you need a good strong marinade to keep this steak from being tough.

Olive Stuffed SteakThis is a great way to turn an everyday chuck roast into a great gourmet steak. By marinating the chuck roast you make it tender. By stuffing olives into the meat you give it a great texture and a whole lot of flavor.

Three Pepper Stuffed SteaksThese steaks are stuffed with flavor. This is a great way to turn a less than perfect steak into a great meal.

Blue Cheese-Walnut SteaksThese grilled steaks are rubbed down with rosemary and garlic, then served up with a great blue cheese, walnut sauce. I really great way to make a better steak.

Papaya Flank SteakPapaya is the greatest natural tenderizer. Sandwiching the flank steak between papaya slices will be enough to make this the tenderist flank steak you have ever eaten.

Tequila SteaksThe tequila in this marinade adds a lot of great flavor to this steak. This is one of those you really have to try.

Italian Dressing Marinated SteaksOne of the best marinades you can buy is Italian Dressing. The combination of oil and vinegar with herbs and spices make it both flavorful and powerful. This is one the the best shortcuts to marinating meat.

That's for the main. Guess, i gotta do some soup, salad n dessert research!

Amidst the home cooked food, there's goota be a GiGanTic surprise for Mr Leong! haha....tis is exciting!!!! so exciting!

maybe i'm enjoying his birthday more than him! haha.....
