Jiang's 22

Mr Jiang is finally back fron his sailing training in london! And he bought me a cuddly souvenir :)
It's kinda boring eating at those fancy restaurants after a while, so for his birthday this year, we decided to prepare our own dinner!

all our favorite food - haagen dazs, yogurt, strawberries, kiwi, wine....i love grocery shopping!!!
I asked jiang what he would like for appetizer and he said crabcake and i was like damn, not easy! I didnt want to be lazy and buy those processed crabmeat from supermarket coz its gonna compromise the quality definitely, so i bought live crabs from the market, cooked them and painstakingly dug out the crabmeat manually. Nothing like fresh juicy crabmeat for a delicious crabcake!doesnt this look awesome! ready for the best 3course dinner in the world :)
appetizer: heart-shaped crabcake with crab omelette and strawberries
main course: australian tenderloin with asparagus ( this was prepared by Jiang btw!)
and finally, tiramisu without chocolate, birthday boy's favorite cake in the world!
the last bottle of ice wine which my dad bought from canadapresent time!!!yes, handmade knitted scarf by none other than me! I learnt it from my mum who's really really good at knitting (she used to knit those pretty little sweaters for me and my sis when we were young). And since im pretty broke this year i couldnt afford anything too expensive, and mr jiang has everything he needs anyway, i thought i should put in a little effort and do something more special for him, so i knitted a scarf which he could use when he goes sailing across the pacific next winter! It was quite difficult at first, i kept screwing up and pissing my mum off coz she would have to fix my mistakes, but slowly i got the hang of it and at last completed it in 2 months, just in time for his birthday :)

Of course, jiang is very very happy with his present. The most precious gift is something money cant buy!
and im so proud of myself :)
We also celebrated his birthday with his mum and cousin at No signboard!
jiang's mum just came back from her europe tour on his birthday itself and she bought him a fendi bag. But i got much more presents than him! check out my bagful of souvenirs - chocolates, bag, furla purse, cute strawberry slippers etc!
