"What do you want to do for your birthday?"
"Um. Nothing."
"I was thinking we could have a few people here."
"Maybe it would be easier to go out."
"I was thinking I might cook."
"What?"
"I was thinking I might cook."
"The dinner?"
"Yes, the dinner."
"What were you thinking of making me?"
"Happy?"
"I'm already happy."
"I'll figure it out."
So I am making Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon, a Brussel Sprout Salad with arugula, bacon, cranberries and parmesan with honey mustard dressing and a Triple-Layer Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting. Favorites all. I am hoping that I can pay as close attention to detail as Mr. Gambrel has here.
