happy birthday indeed

birthdays are one of the special occasions where you get to show people how much you care for them...with food. i got a new williams sonoma italian cookbook for christmas and have been itching for a reason to make one of the main courses. after perusing it, i showed my sweetie pie what i thought he might like and after perusing it as well, he agreed with me.
grilled veal chops with balsamic sauce, polenta, and grilled asparagus

 knowing what i know about carnivorous men and their love of cooking meat over fire, i prepped the chops and veggies, lit the grill, handed him a beer and the tongs. i scooted back into the house where i made the sauce and polenta. and even though it was his birthday dinner, i know he enjoyed grilling.
this was an amazing meal for an amazing man...happy birthday babe!
